22 New Virtualisations This monthThis month MAN rolled out a further 22 virtualisations for an existing client. Our client needed an urgent rollout of a 'PC' into 22 of its properties. These properties already had virtual machines running hence it was a simple matter to build and deploy the 22 specialised PC's with specific vendor software and roll them out into the properties from Exeter to Inverness without ever leaving the office. The project had some urgency, the software had to be deployed for end of year reporting and ordering physical PC's with an installed OS, installing the vendor and peripheral software would have proven a drain of resources whether PC's were delivered to each site and the software installed remotely or delivered centrally and the PC's re-imaged. By delivering a pre-built and configured virtual machine on DVD to each site the project was completed in 3 days at a cost to our client similar to the cost of shipping 22 PC's by courier. As an added benefit the "Virtual PC" takes up no space in the client offices nor needs a network socket or power point. At the client sites the only intervention required was to insert the DVD into one of the existing PC's. ![]()

| One of our clients suffered a catastrophic disaster to their property and needed a working infrastructure putting in place as soon as possible. We were able to install thin client devices in serviced offices while providing their applications from their existing data-center bypassing rebuilding the infrastructure from scratch and having a working infrastructure and applications even before refurbishment of the property could be completed. |
