Pivot3 and VMware View 5.1 for Remote or Branch Office Desktops
Enterprise Capabilities Minus the Enterprise Cost & Complexity Pivot3 vSTAC™ VDI appliances are the perfect solution for the small to mid-size organisation or remote/branch operations looking for a VMware Viewbased virtual desktop infrastructure that is simple, scalable and affordable. The Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliance is a purpose-built and tuned enterprise-ready VDI “building block”. Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliances unify storage and servers. Remote or branch office IT administrators familiar with standard servers and Ethernet are able to deploy Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliances, simply and quickly (within minutes not hours or days). Pivot3 vSTAC VDI appliances allow for smaller predictable, purchasing increments, minimising over provisioning and high up-front costs. Using commodity hardware instead of custom proprietary units together with a pay-as-you-grow appliance model saves both up-front capital expenditures and on-going operations costs. Take advantage of the BYOD Era Pivot3 vSTAC VDI together with VMware’s End User Computing Platform enables IT to transform traditional desktop technology silos into an agile, centralised IT service. The solution enables both SMBs and remote and branch operations to benefit from a centralised data service that offers: • Freedom for the end-user data from the traditional PC • Consistent security and control • The ability to connect end-users to data, applications and each other through every device • Savings by automating routine tasks, improving pro ductivity, and adapting more rapidly to changes in business conditions • A robust desktop virtualisation offering that is easy to consume, adaptable and highly scalable to the IT generalist skill set • An ease of deployment, strong security, data protection, and minimal downtime • Fault tolerance and built-in data recovery more typi cally found in enterprise-scale products
