Embrace the future.


Clouds on the horizonEverybody’s talking about cloud. Whether you want to save money, increase flexibility,

improve resilience or even reduce your carbon footprint, someone will always tell you

that cloud is the answer.

The real question is: which cloud?

To answer that, you need to ask lots of other questions:

• Where’s your data going to be stored?

• What happens if the cloud service stops working?

• Who’s going to help and support your staff?

• Where are you going to host your line-of-business applications?

• What happens if your broadband goes down, or isn’t fast enough?

• Whom do you call when it all goes wrong?

DesktopLive from Managed Networks has the answers.


IT that just works.Managed Networks has been running its cloud service, DesktopLive, for more than six

years. We’ve also been providing better IT to SMEs for twice as long.

Our DesktopLive service brings all of our experience into the cloud.

For a single monthly payment per user you get a comprehensive managed desktop, delivered from the datacentre to your PC, wherever you are. Seamless, resilient, flexible and fully-integrated.

One provider. One support desk. One bill. No excuses.

We don’t sell technology: we deliver an outcome– access to applications and data for all your staff,wherever and whenever they need it.

Our solution is endlessly adaptable to suit your changing needs, so you’re free to innovatewithout technology getting in the way.


Sayonara to your server

No matter how large or small your budget is, the initial investment for IT can bedaunting at best. Even after this investment there are other operational costs such assupport, upgrades and replacements to think about. What’s worse, if you decide tokeep your servers in house, you’ll need to spend even more money on keeping themcool and secure.

After all this expenditure, you’ll have a depreciating asset whose capabilities youprobably won’t fully exploit. Of course, if you do use 100% of your server capacity,you’ll end up having to buy a bigger server instead…and every three of four years, it allhas to be replaced in any case.

So before you waste your money on in-house servers let us provide an alternative, anoption that eliminates the large initial investment on IT and may even put a smile onyour CFO’s face.
