Virtual Server & Desktop Solutions

Save time, space, power and money, all while reducing your company’s environmental impact by implementing virtual server, desktop, application and storage solutions.

Virtual Servers
A virtual server is a physical server that is partitioned into what appears to be multiple servers that can each run independently, but are housed in one machine. Why deploy a virtual server solution? Servers are expensive, require significant storage space, consume massive power, and are often underutilized, particularly in small and mid-sized businesses. Plus, they typically need to be replaced every 3 years. Not only do companies save money because there are less servers to replace, but enabling multiple operating systems to run on a single server can potentially reduce energy use by up to 90%*. It also significantly reduces hardware requirements resulting in up to a 70% savings in capital expenditures, improves server management, and simplifies the process of deploying new software solutions, saving both time and money. Since data is easy to replicate on virtual servers, deploying them also reduces downtime in the event of a disaster.

Virtual Desktops
Virtualization allows employees to access their desktops from anywhere, on any device, with an Internet connection. No matter where they are, your employees will get a single, consistent view of their data and applications, ensuring they remain productive from any location. Because data is actually stored in a central location versus each individual desktop, it also makes data easier to store, back up and secure. Patches and updates are applied to a master machine and pushed to each end-user almost instantaneously. Plus, rolling out a new desktop can be done in minutes versus the hours required with standard desktops.

Virtual Applications
Remember when your computer was new and you didn’t have to wait forever for every program to load? Imagine being able to experience that “new computer speed” by being able to run an application without actually having to install it on your machine. Virtualized software can be accessed by a system and fully utilized by an end user, but is not actually installed on the system where it is running, making it easier to deploy applications across multiple desktops. Additionally, software upgrades and patches can be applied directly on the server level, removing the need to update each individual desktop which saves time, ensures desktop standardization and makes migrations to new desktops quick and easy to execute.

Virtual Storage
Storage virtualization streamlines data storage and administration, providing scalability that enables businesses to easily expand data storage capacity when needed. In a virtual storage solution, data lives on redundant, centralized storage servers that offer multiple paths to your data, protecting your data and ensuring uptime in the event of a server failure.
