Desktop as a Service for Healthcare: A New VDI
Delivering Security, Compliance & Support for Hospitals & Clinics
Desktop as a Service Provides Reliable Security, Compliance & Support
On-premises VDI is widely and successfully adopted by healthcare systems and clinics. With changing requirements many workloads and/or personnel today can be located outside the data center. Comport, specializing in Healthcare IT for decades, has engineered cloud-based Desktop as a Service (DaaS) specifically for the needs of Healthcare organizations. DaaS helps clients manage VDI differently – preserving cash flow with monthly payments, alleviating short staffing with tailored managed services and delivering guaranteed performance.

Great DaaS Experience Tailored to Your Needs
VDI is not one thing–rather it is a range of possibilities. Based on your existing investments and strategic goals, Comport’s team of Healthcare VDI, Cloud and Network specialists evaluate, architect, and rapidly deploy your best DaaS option(s).
DaaS reduces complexity with a turnkey solution that can be co-managed or fully managed by Comport:

• DaaS hosted in Comport’s Cloud
• DaaS hosted in public cloud(s)
• Customized mix of above to fit your needs
With Comport’s business-grade “Desktop as a Service” important pieces quickly fall into place. Plus, the affordable monthly “pay as you go” cost includes hardware, software and tailored managed services.

How Comport’s DaaS Reduces Cost
Desktop as a service stretches your IT budget. Why? The following are some components to consider:
- Cash flow is preserved via one monthly bill for only what you use—versus traditional full payment upfront for capacity that is not needed until much later
- Management, monitoring, maintenance, support contracts and admin are offloaded to Comport.
- Your IT staff is freed for other pressing / high value initiatives and projects
- Over-provisioning compute and storage for peak times and unexpected growth are eliminated
- The cost of infrastructure refreshes and support are on Comport—not on you
- Expensive on-premises license costs and management for applications such as Citrix go away
- Your existing desktop investment can be maintained with secure read-only USB’s, while BYOD devices can be securely added
Security & Compliance with Comport’s DaaS
Hacking and ransomware incidents keep security top of mind. Comport’s on-premises managed VDI, Comport’s cloud DaaS and public cloud providers deliver enterprise-grade security. In addition, OS upgrades and patches are centrally pushed out such that every user is immediately updated. In the event of a breach, your backup restores are ensured. Rest assured that Comport has HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 20071 compliance and certifications in place.
Doctors and nurses move from patient rooms, labs, and across multiple campuses. Cloud-based DaaS enables healthcare professionals to securely access multiple applications and patient data wherever they are, saving time and eliminating the annoyance of multiple log-ins. Since the data resides in a secure cloud data center and not on a device, the risk of compromise is significantly reduced.
Employees with BYOD and mobile staff, call center workers, and employees working from different locations all work with a unified solution despite differences in their devices.
Get Started with Desktop as a Service
Adopting a DaaS environment requires more than installation and configuration of software. A complete solution requires expertise in assessment, systems design, application integration and delivery, desktop deployment, integration with networks, security, and ongoing management in healthcare environments. Success depends on experience and the deep knowledge our Comport Healthcare DaaS consultants bring to your project.
