Cirrus Advantage is the only online offering that provides the same usability you get with onsite computers, by including a cloud desktop.  Although accessed in a window over the Internet, it functions and feels exactly like a fully interactive desktop that is installed locally.  You get all the folders, files, menus, drag-and-drop, and other familiar usability your team is used to.  And you can access it from any computer and any operating system – Linux, Macintosh, or Windows.  You gain the convenience, cost, and security advantages of the cloud, without having to give up the power of the desktop interface you are used to.

With your information technology protected in the cloud, you are able to access all of your software and documents from anywhere: at the office, home, and while travelling – within the city or around the world.  Say goodbye to endless synchronization of applications and documents between different computers.  And say farewell to worries about theft, breakdown, or loss of computers or storage devices.

With old-fashioned IT, adding a user to your organization can take days.  You have to buy a new computer, make sure that the operating system and software is compatible with the rest of your organization, and then have someone take valuable time to configure it to link with the rest of your system.  With Cirrus Advantage you can add a new user with a single click.  In less than ten minutes they have a new completely configured cloud desktop, with everything working from email to office suite to collaboration software.  They can immediately start being productive from any computer and any location.  You can also archive and later restore cloud desktops with a single click, scaling your organization with only seconds of effort.

Your organization can now also get all the security benefits large enterprises receive by hosting their systems in a professionally managed cloud data center.  Your Cirrus Advantage solution is much more strongly protected from intrusion, fire, and flood that a local installation.  And you get more than disaster preparedness, you get what even large organizations rarely achieve – 100% business continuity.  If there is ever a problem with your local office of any kind, your team can resume work from any computer, anywhere they can access the Internet, in minutes.

Your Cirrus Advantage solution is also much more strongly protected against hackers and viruses than onsite systems.  First, it is safeguarded behind our strong cloud protection defences.  Second, your cloud desktop is based on Ubuntu, the leading Linux desktop, architected to incorporate industrial strength security in every element of it's design.  There is a reason Linux is the standard operating system used in Fortune 500 companies – it has never had a virus.  And all your communications are strongly encrypted, so you can use your cloud desktop safely anywhere without communications being read by others, including on public Internet connections.  And unlike web applications, your cloud desktop is a separate space, not open to the many security vulnerabilities present in the web browsers on your local machine.

As a special benefit, unlike all other cloud offerings, your Cirrus Advantage solution is dedicated wholly to your organization.  You have separate software servers, networks, applications, and databases from all others using our service.  We take your privacy very seriously, and start by providing you with your own separate cloud space.

If you want secure IT, Cirrus Advantage provides you with the best option available today compared to all other offerings, both onsite and cloud.
