• Ease of Total Recovery (D&R)
• Flat Fee Support Plan Available

Desktop Virtualzation

Upgrades
With the traditional desktop model any kind of upgrade, such as the introduction of new a OS or application, is extremely slow, and expensive to implement; for example, Gartner estimates that the adoption of Windows® 7 will cost organizations $1,035 to $1,930 per user. However, with use of the right desktop virtualzation product only a single image will require upgrading.

 

User Data
With the traditional desktop model data is vulnerable. With user data stored locally on their main PC, or employees who work remotely often rely on memory sticks, email, and other ad hoc methods to move their data from machine. With desktop virtualization all user data is stored in the data-room.

 

Maintenance
In the traditional distributed computing model, IT must maintain numerous desktop across the organization. With desktop virtualization based on single-image management, these numbers shrink to one: one copy of each application; one copy of Windows®; one point of management for the whole enterprise.

Server Virtualzation

Cuts IT costs by 50%
Server virtualization eliminates the conventional, one application per server model and allows businesses to run multiple, virtual servers on a single physical machine.  Server virtualization can offer major cost savings to businesses.

 

Disaster Recovery (DR)
In the traditional server computing model recovery from backup data is highly complex data.  In order to get that restore an application onto another server, you would first need to install or reinstall Windows. Then you would need to reinstall that application and reconfigure it and if all goes well you can then restore the data. A very time cosuming process. With server virtualization recovery, or any kind of application backup, recovery becomes a simple process. That’s because virtualized data is independent from whatever hardware it’s running on, making it highly portable. With a virtualized server, everything the server OS, the application, and the data essentially fits into one big file.

 

Minimizes server downtime
In the traditional server computing model, sever upgrades and maintenance must be performed during off hours. usually overnight or weekends this reduces flexibility and increases costs. Server virtualzation eliminates the need for planned downtime, creating an always available virtual infrastructure. Server and application upgrades can be performed during normal business hours. This reduces impact to user productivity, saves money, and gives IT staff their nights and weekends back.
