Delivering the real value of a virtualisation solution for your business

Save time, money and IT resources with the world's leading desktop virtualisation solution.

Supporting and maintaining Desktops in most organisations is not only time consuming but also demands a large proportion of cost from IT budgets. The pressure to cut costs in every area of IT is increasingly important but must be achieved without disrupting users and changing workplace methods.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions deliver high levels of control, manageability and security but more importantly, a real TCO reduction.

By centralising the management of all desktops, leveraging virtualisation technologies (such as VMware), businesses can utilise and manage their desktop infrastructure in a completely different way.

What are the benefits of VDI?

  • Reduced end-user costs by up to 65% and operational costs by up to 30% (savings against managed PC environments)
  • Up to 75% power and cooling savings
  • Ability to manage resources remotely
  • Improved data recovery
  • Minimises installation and configuration issues and lowers time to problem resolution
  • Improved corporate governance, security and data protection compliance
  • Alleviates issues with hardware and critical data theft as well as reducing introduction of viruses

How CSI can help:

  • Organisations with existing virtualisation investments
We can assist with extending, upgrading or reviewing your current strategy / solution, and possibly add more value through the delivery of a VDI solution to complement existing virtualisation environments, or simply take on support of what you have today. We can also help exploit existing infrastructure so that your investments are maximised and technology re-used wherever possible.
  • Organisations yet to invest in virtualisation
It is essential that organisations build a virtualisation strategy to accommodate all their infrastructure requirements prior to taking onboard a VDI project. Without an overall virtualisation strategy, VDI will not deliver the maximum ROI.

We work with our clients to ensure that a sound virtualisation strategy is in place with supporting SLAs and KPIs with appropriate security and availability software to meet the needs of the business.
