Remote work has never been more popular. Many organizations discovered the benefits of this setup during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other businesses were even earlier adopters and more companies are moving to hybrid or remote work every day. According to an Owl Labs study, 16% of companies around the world have gone fully remote. And nearly two-thirds (62%) of all workers aged 22 to 65 work remotely at least occasionally.
Your organization might thrive with a hybrid or remote work setup. However, it’s important to be thoughtful and deliberate about how you implement it. You must always consider the issues of risk and unreliability. Thankfully, Faronics has something that can help.
Go Remote the Sensible Way
A confluence of factors has contributed to this significant shift in how we work — reasons that go well beyond the pandemic. First, remote work gives workers more flexibility and convenience; not having to commute for one or two hours (or more) each day is an attractive proposition. For organizations, remote or hybrid work setups allow for significant cost cutting. After all, commercial rents are very high in cities all over the world and infrastructure is expensive to maintain.
There are some downsides to remote work, though. It’s just not practical for many industries and it doesn’t always jibe with the work culture of some organizations. One big potential drawback concerns risk. Various staff working from a variety of locations — occasionally on public Wi-Fi networks — can seem like an invitation to hackers and other bad faith actors.
One factor that has enabled remote work to become so prevalent is technology. High-speed internet, shared documents and various efficiency and communication apps and programs mean staff can collaborate from different countries as though they were sitting in adjacent cubicles. However, technological advancements have also increased the threats to organizations.
The solution? More technology! Specifically, Deep Freeze Cloud from Faronics.
Become Indestructible
Today, many businesses are only as strong as their weakest network link. One undesirable change — whether done by malice or error — can set a company back hours, days or maybe even months. Going back and finding the issue and solving it often involves reverting to a previous system state. This can mean a mountain of hard work is gone forever, not to mention the time and resources that are necessary to devote to fixing the problem.
Deep Freeze Cloud can help your organization avoid these agonizing headaches. Patented Reboot-to-Restore technology allows you to freeze your endpoints to the desired state so you can restore from unexpected changes with a simple reboot. In this way, you can effectively eliminate any undesirable system changes from occurring.
With Deep Freeze Cloud you can:
- Increase productivity: An instant reboot removes any unwanted changes from the system, restoring it to its pristine frozen state.
- Eliminate zero-day threats: With Deep Freeze Cloud, you can enjoy a simple yet effective way to clear all malicious changes to your system, including zero-day threats.
- Achieve license compliance: Only software your organization has approved will stay; Deep Freeze will remove any unauthorized software, thus achieving license compliance.
- Empower end users: Your organization’s teams will have minimal reliance on IT staff, freeing that department up to focus on more pressing issues. Deep Freeze helps to reduce IT helpdesk tickets by a whopping 63%.
How Does Deep Freeze Help Remote Management?
Overseeing a remote workforce offers its challenges. That’s why Deep Freeze Cloud has a management console that makes it easy to deploy, configure and manage computers and devices from various locations from a single interface. You can also schedule different maintenance periods to perform automatic updates with a batch file or third-party solution. The ThawSpace feature enables the creation of virtual partitions to retain critical data even when there’s no separate physical partition available on the computer.
Convenience. Efficiency. Protection.
To attract the best talent, it’s important to offer an appealing work environment. If your company can provide a lot of money, that’s great, but even that may not be enough to secure the candidates you want. Being able to offer remote or hybrid positions is a huge bargaining chip companies can use. But many organizations fear the possible losses in productivity and risks of data branches, malware and unauthorized system changes.
That’s why Faronics has innovated Deep Freeze Cloud. Management and staff can enjoy the convenience of working from wherever they like without worrying about the associated risks. If someone or something makes unwelcome changes to your system, Deep Freeze’s Reboot-to-Restore is there to help. Simply choose the frozen endpoint you want to revert to and you’re done. No more fretting about what changes have occurred; you can just get back to work.
Deep Freeze increases efficiency and security. Many organizations, big and small, have been able to thrive thanks to Deep Freeze Cloud. If your business offers remote or hybrid working setups, you’d be well-served by finding out how Faronics can help you. To learn more, please reach out to our experts today!
