Access and virtualisation

Access

Using technologies predominantly from Citrix and Microsoft, we will design and implement secure remote access solutions for your business – ensuring that your workforce can access their critical applications and data wherever they’re located. Shift F7 is highly experienced in solutions based on Citrix XenApp and Access Gateway and will analyse your users’ working methods to determine the requirements for remote and mobile workers – with all the necessary security layers to ensure that there is no unauthorised access to your network or data. 

The key objective is to give your users a consistent and seamless IT experience on their laptop, PDA or remote desktop – whether they are in the office or working remotely – delivering increased levels of productivity and rapid turn-around of customer requests.

Technologies include:  Citrix XenApp, Citrix Secure Access Gateway, RSA Secure ID.

Virtualisation

Virtualisation has driven probably the most significant changes across corporate IT infrastructures in the last five years.  It is now a mature technology that is proven to deliver dramatic improvements in utilisation and help avoid unnecessary hardware proliferation.  It is a great example of doing “more with less” and can be applied to servers, storage, applications, networks and desktops. 

Our consultants will analyse your current infrastructure and identify where virtualisation will deliver the best return on investment for your business.

Typical benefits include maximising computing resource utilisation, reducing server count, lowering power consumption, increasing management efficiency, increasing application availability and improving speed of deployment.

Technologies include:  VMware Virtual Infrastructure, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V.
