More flexibility and productivity in SMEs through Virtual Workplaces

A Virtual Desktop is a digital work environment that enables employees to access their business applications, data and resources regardless of their location and the device they use. This is made possible by the virtualization of desktops and applications that are installed and operated in our central Swiss data center. The virtual working environment can be used via the Internet on various devices such as laptops or PCs, which offers a high level of flexibility and mobility for your employees.

What you can expect from our Virtual Desktops

Remote desktop

All employees receive access to the OPEN CIRCLE Virtual Workplace via remote desktop. This means that data is always processed on the central terminal server and displayed on the local devices.

Servers as needed

With the OPEN CIRCLE Virtual Workplace you get terminal, Citrix, WEM, file, Active Directory and optionally an Exchange server for e-mails. All necessary server licenses are included in the subscription price.

Software must support terminal servers

Only software that is supported by the terminal server can be installed on the terminal server.

Resources flexibly scalable

The basic set of resources is included in the subscription. No matter how much CPU, RAM and storage your company needs, the resources are flexibly scalable.

Printing and scanning

You can print and scan in the office and at home.

In-house development

The OPEN CIRCLE Virtual Workplace is not a standard product, but a proprietary development of Open Circle.

Microsoft Office programs

Optionally you will find the Microsoft programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint on your Virtual Workplace.

Virtual Workplace on Swiss Hosting

The OPEN CIRCLE Virtual Workplace is a digitally sovereign solution. It is operated exclusively in Swiss data centers. We call these the Swiss Business Cloud because they have to meet strict requirements.

A Workplace for Swiss SMEs

The Virtual Workplace is particularly suitable for Swiss SMEs. It grows with your company and meets high security standards. It is also ideal for sensitive data.

Services

These services are included in our Virtual Desktop

Setup

We set up terminal, Citrix/WEM, file, Exchange and Active Directory servers for you. We create the folder structure, set up the users and create the authorization concept.

Monitoring

We monitor your servers 24/7.

Backup

We create daily backups of your servers and their data and keep them for 14 days. The backups are also replicated to a second location in Switzerland.

Updates & Lifecycle

By means of regular maintenance windows, we install the latest Windows updates and patches. This ensures that your systems and features are always up to date. If a security gap needs to be closed more quickly, we will of course do so immediately. Our physical servers always meet the technical requirements.

Software management

We distribute software by means of packages so that it can be imported. For new software, we assemble new packages.

Vulnerability scan

Using vulnerability scanners, we continuously examine the virtual workplace and all surrounding systems for known weaknesses. In this way, we detect when software urgently needs to be updated due to security vulnerabilities.

System support 24/7

Our service line is available from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for all system inquiries. Our on-call service is also available for emergencies at night and on weekends.
