Virtualization

Virtualization is an essential component for any IT outfit looking to run an efficient, manageable, waste-not-want-not shop. It's not just a tool for large call centers with big server farms. Even small- to medium-sized businesses with growing computer demands can benefit from virtualization.

Virtualization reduces costs by lowering hardware needs and repetitive maintenance tasks. More over, virtualization does not require an army of elite, top-shelf IT experts and a large cache of spare corporate funds to deploy. Virtualization can be implemented with out-of-the-box simplicity and early support from Peak IP Solutions.

 

Why Peak IP Solutions for virtualization?

 

 

VMware is the recognized leader in virtualization technology solutions proven to increase the utilization of existing hardware and reduce capital and operational costs throughout the organization. VMware Infrastructure delivers resources, applications—even servers—when and where they’re needed. VMware customers typically save 50-70% on overall IT costs by consolidating their resource pools and delivering highly available machines with VMware Infrastructure.

Pano Logic was created to address the growing costs and complexity of the PC-based desktop computing paradigm. We've brought together a team of engineers and executives who've had decades of experience working on different approaches to this problem – both from hardware thin-client hardware companies and from virtualization software vendors. We've leveraged this expertise and experience to take a fresh look at how desktop consolidation and virtualization can provide the Windows experience users need while rescuing IT from the escalating overhead of managing distributed PC desktops.

Desktop PCs today are complex permutations of any number of hardware components; operating system versions, drivers and applications installed by both users and IT staff – along with an ever-growing list of OS and applications updates and patches. This myriad of components are installed on PCs distributed throughout offices and company locations and, even with the best of remote access software, often inaccessible to IT staff without an on-site visit when a critical problem or crash occurs.

Maintaining and managing this constantly changing mix of PC hardware and software consumes more than 70% of the TCO of a typical PC, and it represents the bulk of the help desk workload for many organizations.
