Remote working isn’t easy for people who can’t take their workstations with them. But what if your users could access their powerful machines anywhere from any other device?
For employees with workflows that require high-end power, taking their work onsite or out of the office isn’t as simple
A Gartner survey of CFOs and finance leaders in March 2020 revealed that 74% of organisations plan to permanently turn at least 5% of their on-site workforce into off-site employees following the pandemic. Some workers, mainly those using PCs to run simple office applications, haven’t been impacted by remote working. But for employees with workflows that require high-end power, taking their work onsite or out of the office isn’t as simple.
Workstation users depend on their powerful machines to run demanding applications like CAD software, machine learning and data science. For these workers, operating remotely can pose security risks, negatively impact performance and productivity, and cause overall negative experiences. This is due to:
- Poor image and video resolutions
- Fewer means to collaborate with colleagues
- Limited access to secure files due to security constraints
- Poor bandwidth and slow download speeds
- Limited processing power
- Low compression rate
Connect to your Workstation from any device
Lenovo Workstations can be accessed remotely via a laptop, tablet or smartphone and an internet connection. When users need power on the move, they can access a centralised Workstation with secure data, and run demanding applications in a high-performance, responsive and flexible environment, wherever they are, without the need to keep their heavy tech to hand.
Here are five benefits of enabling your workstation users to access their machines anywhere:
- Maximum productivity: Lenovo has partnered with Mechdyne to give Workstation users the ability to use TGX remote visualisation technology remotely. By compressing and sending information as pixels rather than data, this software offers like-local responsiveness, eliminating any potential productivity issues, and allows users to send 4K high resolution videos using just 40Mb/s of network bandwidth. No other device in the world can do that.3
- Increased performance: Powerful, high-end resources like applications and processing power can be shared across the whole organisation, with minimal latency and smooth, desktop-like experiences.
- Multi-user collaboration: Up to four users can share a workstation remotely at the same time, ensuring teams can contribute to workflows simultaneously and collaborate effectively.
- Dependable security: User data, sensitive information and company intellectual property is kept secure onsite, reducing the risk of data breaches.
- Software agnostic: Workstations can be accessed from any device using TGX remote visualisation software, which is compatible with a number of operating systems including Windows, Linux and MacOS.
