Virtualization

Cloud computing

Virtualization is where cloud computing started. Now ‘clouds’ are developing in ever-more-sophisticated and efficient ways. Larger companies, for example, can now combine internal and external compute clouds. This means you can create the perfect IT infrastructure for your business. The internal cloud takes care of day-to-day use, and any peaks in IT demand can then be absorbed by the external cloud.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Application Streaming

Windows 7 is now a popular choice when companies upgrade their desktop systems. And we think it is ideal as the foundation of any new virtual desktop infrastructure. Windows 7 on VDI has the potential to take the current growth trend to a whole new level.

Cirtix, Microsoft and VMware are just a few of the major players now offering great application streaming solutions to support VDI. This means that you can now easily create zero-touch desktop deployment solutions, personalised to the user and available on any device at any location.

Be mobile – give your team a truly mobile and functional desktop. For employees, this means a familiar look and feel to their computer workspace whether at the office, at home or on the road. For you, this means you know the right applications are functioning and available for the team whenever they need them

Save time – we automate the set up of platforms like Microsoft on every desktop in your company so your team doesn’t have to do this manually.

Save effort – our built-in tools streamline the choice and introduction of new software. Let employees choose software from an available menu, then the system prompts for approval from the relevant manager, and then automatically configures the new software on the right desktop.

Reduce costs – virtualisation means you pay significantly less for desktops in your company.

Allow personalisation – your staff work better when they feel in control of their workspace. So we give you the option to let them personalise their desktops.

Improve security – with a virtual desktop no-one can walk away with a laptop or desktop PC containing sensitive information. Employees can also update data on the move without having to worry about backing up to their desktop PC.

Enhance your systems – latest-generation desktop solutions such as Windows 7 have tremendous VDI potential. Talk to RedPixie about how you could benefit.

Physical to Virtual Migration (P2V)

Physical servers are expensive to buy, configure and house. Virtualization on the other hand significantly increases capacity, organised for maximum efficiency, and ensures your IT platforms are designed in the best way for your organisation. Physical to virtual migration therefore offers many benefits. And it is relatively simple, when you migrate with expert help. With the right tools and planning even the most complex issues, like legacy server platforms, are dealt with seamlessly.
