Gone are the days of businesses running each system on an individual server; why have 10 servers when you only need 2? Virtualisation allows you to do just that!

Virtualising your server infrastructure has many cost benefits; less servers to support, reducing support contract costs and staff time resolving issues; high availability to reduce the downtime of key systems and the ability to quickly recover from catastrophic system failures. On top of all that your server infrastructure will be more energy efficient and will boost your environmentally friendly credentials.

Virtualisation doesn’t just stop at the server infrastructure either! With the increase of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD), organisations need to be able to control what systems are attached to the network and ensure employees have all the necessary tools for their job; enter Desktop Virtualisation. Rather than your organisation paying out large hardware costs, allow users to bring their own computers in, but you push out the desktop and applications they will use via your Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) giving you complete control. No longer will your IT team need to install the same application to 1000 computers, install it once to the virtual infrastructure and each user will automatically receive it when they next load their virtual desktop.

Here at RMS we have all the necessary expertise to design and implement the right virtual solution to meet your needs. We work with all the key virtualisation providers such as VMware, Microsoft and Citrix so you can be sure you will have the solution that is right for you.
