There are numerous products out there right now that can be used to create a VDI Solution. Essentially that is what a VDI Solution is; a collection of products to provide you with a Virtual Desktop that can be accessed from anywhere via a web browser.
There are different vendors who provide various components of a VDI System, some may even provide a complete solution. However every company is different and as such have different requirements. For example, organisations with employees constantly on the move need their Virtual Desktop to be available off-line, etc. It is therefore vital that you consider all choices when selecting your VDI solution to ensure that what you are delivering to your users is what they need to do their jobs.
Although consultancies can help you in the process of selecting the most appropriate VDI solution, we advise you to be cautious. Far too many times we see advice has been given based on experience/expertise in only particular solutions, therefore not considering all of the options and unfortunately, in some cases, advice that is biased through a tie to a particular vendor.
This is what makes b2Lateral different; we have been working with virtualisation since the 90’s. We totally understand this technology. We have experience with the key players in the virtualisation field and have partnerships with the prime contenders. As a result, we can advise on numerous technologies in an unbiased way. For example, according to your requirements, it may be more suitable for you to have an integrated solution with more than one vendor product. If this is the case, then we will advise accordingly which product best suite your individual needs.
b2lateral has the history, the partnerships and the business experience that enables us to take a look at the bigger picture oriented around your organisation’s requirements. Our long established partnerships enable us to give you an insight into not only what is currently available, but what are the up and coming technologies from the key players in Virtualisation.
Our technical experience and expertise make us different. Our Professional Services Team is geared up to deliver these types of projects because our consultants have the experience you would expect from a Systems Integrator. We stay ahead of the game by attending advanced technical training on the latest new releases and “cool tools” and taking part in beta testing for our partners.
We have now covered how b2Lateral have excellent links in the industry and also the technical and business experience required to build the system you need. How do we pull all of this together to enable us to deliver a quality project? As part of our Professional Services Team, we have Project Managers who are specifically experienced in delivering these projects. They will make sure from the very start through to the end that the focus is on meeting your expectations and the user’s requirements.
We know it can be quite daunting to look after a new system, especially one as integral as a Virtual Infrastructure or a Virtual Desktop System. That is why we involve your team throughout the project and provide relevant training and knowledge transfer. Our aim has always been to ensure you are at the very least skilled up to administer and maintain your system. We also have a Support Department who are happy to help you out after the project so you never have to deal with major problems on your own.
In short, we can cover the whole package for you; this includes aspects not mentioned such as software and hardware.
