Considering Moving Your Company Into The 21st Century? You Need To Virtualize Your IT Systems


No organization around the world today - or in fact at any point in time - likes to feel as though they're not operating in the best way possible or aren't able to keep up with their competitors.
It doesn't matter whether you're a leader and innovator in the IT industry or you're a small, window cleaning company, it's imperative that if you're wanting to continue operating successfully in business, you need to be implementing new processes and staying at the forefront of your industry.
When it comes to those organizations within the IT industry (or with a strong IT focus), although people looking in might think that it's a particularly easy task to stay fresh and modern, as IT organizations have access to all of the latest technologies, it's actually extremely difficult to do so - if you attempted to take on board every recommended and available piece of software and technology available, you would require a dedicated department purely for the researching, development and implementation of new software and technologies.
There is one thing that every business who has a strong IT interest should be looking to implement, however and that's a virtual IT infrastructure.
In essence, having a virtual IT infrastructure that provides resource such as dynamic desktops and remote workspace management, for example, means that staff no longer have a requirement to work only from the office where they have access to every piece of software or every application that they require, or even from a laptop where they have access to some basic applications.
What having this type of virtualized IT environment does mean, when looking at dynamic desktops, for instance, is that each and every IT user can effectively access all of the applications and programs that they have installed on their desktop from wherever they have access to a suitable device - which can be a mobile phone - and an internet connection.
To some organizations, this might not mean that anything will change drastically, as staff are required to spend their time in the office.
However, when this virtual IT infrastructure is implemented, it gives organizations the ability to review their existing business processes and ask themselves a range of questions.
Do staff actually need to come into the office?
Do we now need an office of this size?
How much money can be saved if staff work from home?
How much will productivity increase by giving staff the freedom to work from where they want to?
Virtual IT infrastructures are the future of IT for businesses and although you might not have thought about it much yet, it's guaranteed that you will be thinking about it in-depth over the coming weeks and months.
Leading Edge Technology and Network Solutions are hosting a free-of-charge RES webinar on 18th October 2011 at 3.00pm (GMT), providing all attendees with a greater understanding of how RES Workspace Management and Automation can have a positive impact on various IT and business processes within their organizations.
