Renting a Remote Server

The reality of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic and the need for self-isolation have shown businesses how important it is to be able to provide employees with remote jobs in a short time. For company managers, working remotely with employees allows them to:

expand the geographic reach of new staff recruiting, which is especially important for employers from distant or less populated regions;

allow employees to continue working from home in the event of illness or injury;

create a single workspace for multiple employees who constantly interact with each other, such as developers, testers, and designers;

organize the remote operation of individual offices and points of sale with a common database and tools on a remote work server.

Remote work involves both technological and psychological difficulties for employees. The technological side of the issue already has proven, well-developed solutions. One of them is setting up a remote server. This is a convenient way to provide jobs for employees who are located in different offices, at retail outlets, or working from home.

Setting up remote server workplace

Get started with a remote desktop server

Setting up a server with a remote workplace is suitable for many professional areas: from accounting and programming to architectural design and web design. On a remote server, you can work with heavy applications, such as video processing or accounting software, as well as with large databases. Moreover, for security purposes and optimal load distribution, databases can be placed separately in several data-centers. To facilitate interaction within the company and with customers, you can deploy a virtual PBX, which will help reduce communication costs when you return to the office. Employees can access the workplace using secure protocols and a VPN (virtual private network, for example, OpenVPN).

It is convenient to use a server located in the provider's data center, since it eliminates the need to equip and maintain the server infrastructure, shifting these concerns to the provider.

To organize a remote workplace, it is suitable to use virtual servers with Windows OS installed.

Such VPS servers are available as part of the WHS pricing plans:

Intel® Xeon™ servers are located in the EU;

you can choose the disk size from 10 to 60 GB and from 2 to 10 GB of RAM.

However, for demanding applications, it is better to use a dedicated server.
