Turnkey VDI: Lower Cost & Improved Manageability

Posted by John Callahan on May 11, 2016 9:36:56 AM

In reviewing industry literature on data center modernization and service delivery to end points, many customers are concerned about the sheer complexity of managing legacy equipment and software from multiple vendors and different generations. Many IT administrators now strongly consider virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in an effort to reduce data center infrastructure complexity, while lowering costs and improving reliability.VDI-image

In evaluating different VDI vendors, customers look for design and implementation expertise, an understanding of the underlying hardware, integration experience and a track record of customers satisfied with deployments and support.

Integrating Hardware and Software
Whether considering a hyper-converged or modular VDI solution, customers demand server and storage hardware that is highly reliable and scalable. The NCS NexServ and NexArray families of hardware have been proven in the most demanding government and enterprise customers, some in extremely harsh conditions.

In addition, the underlying software should also be top tier. For instance, the NCS comprehensive VDI solution relies on industry-leading software from VMware, Microsoft and Maxta. VMware is the most trusted virtualization platform for the data center, desktop and applications. For a hyper-converged solution, Maxta Software Defined Storage combines, aggregates and manages storage resources. Microsoft supplies special purpose database services like Active Directory and SQL Server and Windows Server supports applications, management and communications.

NCS Services
NCS provides highly trained professionals certified to deploy, maintain and support all the software platforms. We offer hardware engineers who specialize in configuring and supporting the server platforms. Our services include requirement analysis, design consultation, solution implementation, installation and technical support.
