Our Solutions Capability
www.dataplex-systems.com
www.dataplex-systems.comOur advisory capability is agnostic to vendors and technologies, and we provide our services and solutions against the following business initiatives
Our design services are against the products we have already discussed and it is typically at this stage we undertake the analysis, audit and design element to match your business drivers and technical requirements. Ultimately our design team become an extension of your team with our final design being the blueprint and for you it under rights the design to ensure it will work with your unique needs.
Frequently we are approached to provide impartial consultancy services to assist in the development of a corporate strategy for projects such as:
VirtualisationCollaborationBusiness IntelligenceCloudSecurity Strategies.
Following on from our design services we typically carry on to the implementation phase. Our implementation services are directly against the products we highlight further on and we have the ability to deliver our design from project and programme management through to implementation, end user testing and acceptance and ultimately commissioning.

IT Challenges & Priorities
How do I effectivelymigrate to Windows 7?
How can I preserve and extend my existing investments?
How do I manage costs?
How do I keep mydata safe andapplications secure?
Should I embrace cloud services?
How do I ensure my applications are available and can be accessed?
How do I take advantage of virtualisation?

The Need for a Desktop StrategyHardware
Data & Settings
Applications
OS
Hardware ConsiderationsWill consumer devices be allowed on your network?How will you support mobile devices?How will you manage the hardware lifecycle?
Operating System ConsiderationsHow can users get to their environment from other PCs?
How many images will you need to maintain?How will you handle migration?
Application ConsiderationsHow will you provide access from anywhere?Do you know how many applications you have?
How will you manage the application lifecycle?
Data & User Settings ConsiderationsHow will you provide data security on all devices?How will users access data from different PCs?Is data searchable across PCs, local networks & the cloud?
Primary Desktop Challenge:PC Components are bound together, making hardware & software difficult & expensive to replaceSolution:Remove the hard wired dependencies and consider the layers independently

www.dataplex-systems.comForget it - Desktops are not ServersDesktop Interaction is different to Server Interaction with hardwareDo not compare desktop virtualisation to server virtualisation, they interact with hardware differentlyNot all desktop brokers are the sameNot all hypervisors are the sameUsers do not care how many servers you are not running because of this projectUsers want a better experience than they get nowGet desktop virtualisation wrong and everyone will know about itGet server virtualisation wrong and only a pocket of people know about it

Simplifying the Complicated
Project ManagementStakeholder EngagementFirstly not all desktops are candidatesDont just ask the question how many users can I get on a box.Guess work is not an optionObjective tests are criticalWork with the user, they need to feel part of the processCombination of technical and business consulting is needed to ensure successPartially automated and partially manualThere is a big human element to VDI, dont forget it.
