Tougher issues for small and medium-sized business include data security and compliance. And a near constant stream of stories about security breaches and computer viruses bringing down entire company networks has led to a heightened sensitivity to security issues with traditional networked PC environments.

Ensure Data Security and Compliance

Thin computing managed services use thin clients and a server-based network model to enforce the strictest and most secure IT environment. The risk of viruses is lessened with server operating systems being inherently more secure, and central monitoring focused on a single network connection. With all data stored on central servers the risk of data loss is also reduced, and teleworking is more secure since no corporate data is downloaded to virus prone home computers.

Legal conformance with data protection laws is also made easier with centralized data. And protecting personal records and privacy becomes much simpler than with distributed data.

ThinDesk delivers data security and compliance benefits:

• TELUS data centre hosts the ThinDesk thin computing platform – for enterprise-class security.

• SAS 70 compliance exceeds requirements of financial services and health care regulators.

• Less risk of viruses and data theft

• Improved disaster recovery

• Legal conformance with data protection and privacy laws

Unlike traditional desktop or portable PCs, thin clients are inherently secure, stable client devices. The architecture of the devices and the server-based network model they demand enforce the tightest, strictest, and most secure IT practices possible, without requiring any virus software on the client devices.
