Virtualization: Security & Productivity

Virtualization, a strategic lever for modern IT

The traditional workplace is changing. With the spread of telework, increased employee mobility and increasing security requirements, companies must rethink their IT infrastructure. The virtualization of workstations is an effective solution to these challenges.

By centralizing work environments in the cloud, virtualization enables simplified management, enhanced security and increased flexibility. Employees can access their tools and data from any device, while ensuring the protection of sensitive information.

Productivity: jobs accessible anywhere, instantly

With virtualization, employees can access their entire work environment – system, software, data – from any device via a simple internet connection.

This changes everything about productivity :

Accelerated onboarding : a new employee can be operational in minutes, even remotely.
Reduced maintenance : no need to go post by post. Updates and patches are deployed centrally.
Increased flexibility : telework, travel, hybrid work, everything is more fluid.

Hardware-related outages are becoming marginal, and the user benefits from a consistent experience regardless of their device (lightweight PC, tablet, BYOD). In addition, virtualization adapts to the workload: virtual machines can be scaled on demand, according to the real needs of the user.

Security : re-centralize access, reduce risk

The virtualization of workstations allows to recentralize data and access in a controlled environment, thus transforming the approach to IT security.

Concrete benefits include:

Reduced risk of theft or data loss : information is no longer stored locally on the terminals.
Enhanced authentication : implementation of mechanisms such as MFA, VPN, session management.
Automatic backups : centralized in a highly secure environment.
Traceability of actions : auditability, GDPR and ISO compliance.

Virtual machines hosted by UNIVIRTUAL benefit from a sovereign cloud environment, protected against intrusions and supervised 24/7. Companies can offer their users a powerful and secure workstation, without exposing their IS.

VDI or Virtual Workstation: which solution to choose?

Not all companies have the same uses. This is why several types of virtualized workstations exist:

VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) : adapted to standard office uses. It offers a complete, customizable Windows environment, accessible from any workstation.
Virtual Workstation : designed for users with high-performance graphics or computing needs: CAD, video, data science, etc.

The choice depends on business software, expected performance and how employees are used. Some customers even choose "hybrid" environments: a lightweight VDI for daily tasks and a one-time workstation for specific needs.

In all cases, virtualization allows centralized management, fast provisioning, better supervision and a perfect match between consumed resources and business needs.

Why to be accompanied to virtualize your position

Setting up a PC infrastructure in the cloud is not just a technical matter. This requires a comprehensive reflection on architecture, security, user experience and change management. Expert support is essential to avoid frequent pitfalls (undersizing, poor integration, degraded performance, poorly anticipated costs).

At UNIVIRTUAL, we offer turnkey desktop virtualization solutions, hosted in Switzerland or France, including:

Ready-made virtual machines or workstations.
A complete support: audit, dimensioning, migration.
A human and responsive technical support.
A sovereign, highly secure and redundant cloud infrastructure.

We also allow our customers to test our environments for free, to validate performance and ergonomics before any commitment.

Conclusion: virtualize your positions, a winning choice at all levels

In an increasingly distributed, mobile and threat-prone business world, desktop virtualization is a natural and strategic evolution.

It allows for :

Improve the productivity of employees, wherever they are.
Reduce IT maintenance and management costs.
Enhancing safety in working environments.
Adapt more quickly to business needs.

But to take full advantage of it, it is essential to choose a cloud partner that is reliable, sovereign and capable of supporting the transformation. UNIVIRTUAL is at your side to build an adapted, efficient and resilient infrastructure, designed for your uses, and designed to last.
