GoCloud hosted desktops give agricultural businesses anytime, anywhere access to essential information.
There’s nothing more time-consuming and inefficient than logging down key data whilst out checking crops, soil, yield and weather patterns, only to have to input them all over again when you return to your office.
What’s more, this data may be required when you’re visiting suppliers, distributors and stakeholders, so you need to know that everything required is available at all times.
By installing a hosted desktop infrastructure across your agricultural business, you can view, edit and share your data no matter where you are. It could be whilst in the fields, visiting an independent store or supermarket chain, commuting on the train or even abroad – as long as you have an internet connection, you have all of your key information available at your fingertips.
No more missing data regarding stock, growth patterns, staffing
and sales, as it’s always there when you need it.
Agricultural business managers need to be 100% organised 100% of the time.
This means having instant access to everything from email software and social media accounts to video conferencing platforms and the LinkedIn app.
By choosing GoCloud hosted desktops, these decision makers will never be disconnected from their many networks, all while being able to view and share the most up-to-date documents and data when attending important meetings and events.
It’s amazing how much of a difference being prepared for all eventualities can make to a business manager’s day, so don’t let yours go to work without having everything they need right there on their laptop and smartphone.
Due to a constantly fluctuating economy, huge competition and growing concern regarding environmental sustainability, farmers are more involved in marketing and public relations than ever before.
Hosted desktops enable you to stay on top of the latest news, keep in touch with your professional networks, update your digital presence, join video calls, and access crucial business information from anywhere at any time.
In the process, hosted desktops are much more environmental
friendly than traditional desktops due to lower energy
consumption, making them a greener way to run your company.
Your data covers every part of the business, from crop performance and seasonal strategies to payroll and confidential information.
If this were to be lost, corrupted or accessed by an unauthorised party, it could potentially bring your entire operations to a standstill.
Business owners in the agricultural sector need to know that their data is protected and backed up around the clock, so our hosted desktops come with 256-bit encryption, the very best antivirus software, two-factor authentication, ISO 27001 certification, and an isolated Citrix/Windows environment that keeps your server on individual hardware.
When all of this is combined, it’s clear that there’s no safer way to work than through a GoCloud hosted desktop infrastructure.

You are able to download your data whenever you want. Depending on how much data you have, you can copy the data via a mapped drive, download via FTP, or we can send you USB hard drives.
A hosted desktop is a Windows desktop containing your applications, which you use to access your files and data from. Files can be stored on a hosted file server, data can be on a database server such as SQL Server. Our hosted desktop service comes with the desktops, file server and a firewall, all dedicated to you and not shared with other customers.
No. Customers can use any PC, Mac or Linux machine to connect to their hosted desktop. One of the initial cost-savings is the ability to continue to use existing PCs. As the processing power, memory, and storage are provided by our servers, customers are even able to use older PCs that would be unable to run a new Operating System themselves, thereby extending their working lives and ROI. Alternatively, you may decide to supply thin clients, to further enhance the benefits of moving to a hosted desktop environment. Thin clients are physically smaller PCs; they cost less than a normal PC (aka a "fat client"), and use a lot less energy. Of course, as a hybrid measure they may opt to simply replace existing computers with thin clients as they begin to fail. Hosted desktops will also work on laptops, tablet devices such as the iPad and smartphones such as the iPhone.
Firstly, we recommend using a backup internet service if required, such as ADSL or a dongle if mobile. Secondly, if you lose your connection to your hosted desktop, when you regain your connection, your desktop is exactly as you left it, with all applications and data intact.
