Managed DaaS

For many organizations, DaaS is an attractive alternative to traditional on-site VDI; the hosted infrastructure shifts up-front CapEx to predictable OpEx, transitions responsibility for physical assets to a dedicated and specialized service provider, and establishes business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) options for data center availability. Yet many overlook the persistent need for capable desktop engineers and desktop IT administrators, each tasked with critical components in the management and maintenance of virtualized environments.

The intricacies to desktop virtualization are many and costly. To address this need, TMG, Inc. offers Managed Services for DaaS.

Guidance and Expertise to Enhance IT Teams’ Activities
TMG, Inc.’s Consulting and Implementation Services for DaaS place the intricate and time-consuming tasks into the hands of dedicated, expert professionals. These include:
