Cloud computing or potential storm clouds?

7th Nov 2011

With budgets being cut and “austerity” the buzzword of the moment, IT managers are under increased pressure to maximise resource, reduce costs and become greener in the way they operate.

But while virtualization is perceived to maximise resource and make our budgets go further, there are a number of hidden costs associated with traditional virtualised networks that we are not always aware of. This often results in us being forced to install more equipment than we actually need.

NComputing’s VDI solutions are enabling more and more organisations to benefit from virtualization at an affordable price. They are turn-key solutions that will allow you to potentially triple your user-base for the same budget, and are particularly suitable for medium to large desktop environments, such as schools, colleges, call centres, branch offices, libraries and public sector organisations. With

NComputing’s VDI solutions you’ll benefit from significant cost savings from the outset as well ongoing cost reductions. Not to mention the reductions in maintenance and more effective management of these environments.
 

The NComputing L300 device enables each end user to have their own computing session without needing a dedicated work station. A single server will typically host 25 to 30 devices and with the latest release of their VSpace virtualization software it is possible to host up to 100 simultaneous users. Designs may vary depending on your environment and requirements and breathe Technology can help you plan your architecture.

 NComputing technology integrates seamlessly with traditional virtualisation systems such as Citrix, VMware and Microsoft- based applications, and enhances the value of traditional VDI technology by increasing the number of supported users per OS. This enables you to optimise resource and see a rapid ROI. The new Microsoft MultiPoint 2011 Server is also compatible and may be an interesting technology for our education sites to investigate.

NComputing technology will:
 

• Significantly reduce your IT capital and ongoing costs
   
• Improve manageability – because of centralized management
   
• Reduce your energy consumption by as much as 90%
   
• Reduce e-waste – allowing you to become more eco-friendly and reduce your carbon footprint
   
• Reduce maintenance and support costs by 75%
   

We have a top level partnership status with NComputing which means we can offer you a number of commercial and technical benefits including: advantageous pricing, technical expertise and comprehensive maintenance and support. Demo facilities are also available at our Cambridge office.
