-Network Desktops OnDemand My Data and Shared Data files,
email and desktop contents are all backed up daily - so
no more files lost through PC hard drive crashes. Because
everything is backed up, accidentally deleted files can
be restored on request.
-Virus protection is implemented for all Network Desktops
OnDemand files and emails in real-time - this
stops attacks via email and cleans all inbound infected
files. (The Qwest Virus Protection OnDemand service protects
your office PC's from viruses.) All mouse clicks, keystrokes,
screen image updates and print pages are encrypted, so no
one can make sense out of your communication with your Network
Desktop. And, remember that in general, you are not sending
files back and forth anyway - when you open a
Word document, only an image of the opened document in encrypted
form is coming to your office PC.
-All Qwest Network Desktops OnDemand services are provided
out of a hardened, secure site, with environmental controls,
fire systems and power generator backup. PCs on customer
sites are for access only - all business information
is remote and hence totally secure with Qwest Network Desktops
OnDemand.
