Delivering Success to Your Business

Built From Experience ▼

Boxtop is an innovative cloud workspace-as-a-service solution, designed specifically for small and midsize firms. It delivers all of your organization's IT needs, allowing firm owners and managers to focus on growing their practice. Boxtop includes full client service and end-to-end network support, along with virtual desktops, cloud infrastructure, storage, backups, security, and unlimited tech support.

After serving hundreds of small and midsize firms for more than 20 years, learning their IT needs, and providing them with the best, though sometimes complex, IT solution for their firm, we thought there had to be a more simple way to deliver IT: one that would allow professionals to focus on serving their clients and managing their organizations, rather than thinking about IT upgrades, remote accessibility, security, backup, or business continuity.

The cloud inherently provides all of these benefits, and there were some firms that were starting to take advantage of it by moving one or a few applications to the cloud. We wanted to take full advantage of the cloud and further simplify IT for our clients. Rather than just moving applications, we wanted to move the entire IT function to the cloud. And so, Boxtop was born.

Boxtop vs. Traditional On-Premise IT

For firms evaluating a move to Desktop as a Service, the biggest difference from traditional on-premises IT is where the environment is managed and how employees access it.

Consideration Boxtop Traditional On-Premise IT
Hardware Virtual desktops and cloud-hosted infrastructure eliminate dependence on office-based PCs and servers. More infrastructure is maintained at the office.
Remote Access Users can access the same managed desktop environment from any internet-connected device. Remote access relies on separate tools or configurations.
Maintenance Tabush Group manages the Boxtop environment, updates, backups, and support. Internal staff or an IT provider manages local hardware and systems.
Business Continuity Cloud-hosted systems can support access when an office location is unavailable. Office outages can affect access when systems depend on local infrastructure.
Scalability Resources and users can be adjusted within the cloud environment as business needs change. Growth can require additional hardware planning, installation, and replacement.

Boxtop FAQs

 

What is Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?
Desktop as a Service, or DaaS, is a cloud solution that lets employees access their desktop, applications, and files from any internet-connected device. Boxtop provides this environment through Tabush Group’s managed private cloud.
How does Desktop as a Service work?
Desktop as a Service hosts your desktop, business applications, and files in the cloud instead of on a local computer. Employees securely log in from supported devices and access the same managed work environment from different locations.
What is the difference between DaaS and a traditional desktop?
 A traditional desktop stores applications and files primarily on a physical computer or local network. DaaS hosts the work environment in the cloud, allowing employees to securely access the same desktop, applications, and files from supported devices. 
Is Desktop as a Service secure?
 Desktop as a Service can support strong cybersecurity when properly managed. Boxtop uses a dedicated, isolated cloud environment with encryption, firewalls, malware protection, monitoring, backups, and other layered security controls to help protect business systems and data. 
Can employees access a virtual desktop from home?
 Yes. Employees can access a virtual desktop from home with any device and internet connection. Boxtop gives users access to the same Windows desktop, business applications, and files they use when working in the office. 
How is Boxtop different from other Desktop as a Service solutions?
 Boxtop combines Desktop as a Service with cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity protections, backups, IT support, and strategic guidance from Tabush Group. Each client also receives a dedicated, isolated network environment built around its business technology needs.

Do you need thin clients for DaaS?
 No. Thin clients can be used with Desktop as a Service, but they are not always required. Boxtop users can also connect from supported computers, Chromebooks, tablets, and mobile devices depending on where and how they work. 
What happens to existing servers when moving to DaaS?
 During a DaaS migration, approved applications, data, and workloads can be moved from existing servers into the cloud environment. Once migration is completed and verified, unneeded legacy equipment can be securely wiped and properly recycled or disposed of. 
Can business applications run on a virtual desktop?
 Yes. Many Windows-based business applications can run within a virtual desktop environment. Boxtop allows employees to access compatible applications alongside their files and other work resources from one managed cloud desktop.
