Maritime (Deep Sea) Office Virtualization

In simple words, the Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) provides you with endpoint minimalistic computer workstations (terminals) that use resources housed inside a central server as opposed to a hard drive. Such a terminal client connects to a server-based environment that hosts the majority of applications, memory, and sensitive data the user needs.

The benefits of such a solution are very meaningful when used in a remote office. Some of them to consider are:

​

• Way less administrative overhead. In a virtualized network, an IT administrator installs updates and patches once rather than many times. Troubleshooting problems is easier - you have only one system to troubleshoot rather than several. This helps organizations by allowing your IT staff to focus on significant issues instead of engaging in redundant work for every computer in the network. Also, this eliminates the need for IT staff to visit individual workstations for installation or troubleshooting. The diminished IT support costs should be clear by this point.
   

• Less cost. You can acquire new workstations for the crew much faster, easier, and at a lower cost than if you give each one their own desktop. So it is more effective to deploy virtual desktop clients than to deploy regular PCs. These computers do far less work than regular PCs, and therefore, they need fewer resources. They don't have a high-end graphics card, hard drives, fans... They need and less RAM than a PC. Each of these components comes with a considerable cost.The virtual desktop environment enables you to allow users to bring their own devices too. The server used for the various terminal clients in the network can also be used as a full-fledged virtual desktop base, giving temporary workers and contractors a simple way to connect and get work done.
   

• Increased cyber security protection. As the system attack surface is brought to a minimum you centralize your security solution by protecting just the server the various terminal clients connect to. The terminal workstation itself does not run the software. This means that if a user is to begin a download of malware accidentally, it will be blocked by the firewall/software protecting the server. Also, if someone tries to save data corrupted with malicious code, they will be unable to do it on the endpoint computer itself and spread it. As the server is protected, getting the malicious code onto it will be impossible, thereby protecting all client users from having their operations interrupted by malware they accidentally downloaded online or from an external (USB) media.
