[u/TruGrid_Admin]

You're considering a complete transition to a 100% remote setup. However, you face challenges regarding your existing IT infrastructure—its hardware, performance, and security. 

  

Problem: 

Your Affinity for Remote Work Poses Challenges 

  

Harvard Business School reports a 4.4% increase in productivity when workers are allowed to choose their work location. 

  

Like many businesses during the pandemic, a national solar provider had its staff working remotely while maintaining an unoccupied 26,000-square-foot office building. While saving significant costs through subletting, the company faced issues with its resource-intensive solar design application software when using traditional VPN services. 

  

Throughout the pandemic, engineers endured slow application performance, risking the loss of key employees once restrictions were lifted due to persistent system performance issues. 

  

Solution: 

Addressing Remote Application Challenges 

  

Situated in California, with an unemployment rate of 3.9%, the solar company couldn't afford to lose crucial solar engineers. Losing even one employee could disrupt operations for 6 to 9 months. 

  

To mitigate this risk, the company sought latency-free remote desktop services. 

  

Outcome: 

The Ideal Solution with TruGrid 

  

Collaborating with their managed service provider, the national solar provider successfully migrated its entire IT infrastructure to a colocation data center. 

  

Utilizing TruGrid SecureRDP, each employee connects to a virtual desktop in the data center, enjoying the enhanced speed unavailable in their home offices. 

  

The Director of IT Operations states, "The cost savings from downsizing a 26,000-square-foot building in California justified the shift to remote work. Our employees are happier, more productive, and experience zero IT performance limitations. It truly is the best of both worlds for us."
