Reducing costApplication & Desktop Delivery

 

Since 1996 Centralis has specialised in helping organisations find the most efficient, flexible and cost effective way to deliver applications and desktops to users. 

We can offer help with an overall strategy, or undertake specific projects around desktop virtualisation, application virtualisation or secure remote access

Whatever your requirement you can be sure that our partnership with the world's leading vendors,  our use of best-practice methodology and our commitment to customer satisfaction will deliver the results you need. 

Desktop Virtualisation / VDI
   



Centralis uses Desktop Virtualisation (also known as VDI) to make users' desktops accessible from almost any client device, without the need for local software installation or data leaving the organisation.  For customers looking to take existing application sets and quickly deliver them more flexibly, Centralis strongly recommends desktop virtualisation, which can:

  • Reduce the cost of desktop and application management

  • Simplify testing, roll out and regression

  • Deliver secure, centralised applications onto un-managed PCs

  • Create complex environments for developers - with full control over reboots and local installations

  • Deploy Windows 7 without the need for client hardware upgrades or testing

Centralis has considerable experience in this area and can help with:

  • Business case justification

  • Licensing options & costs

  • Proof of concept, design & deployment

  • Storage

  • Peripheral support

  • User personalisation

Application Virtualisation
   

If you need to get applications out to users quickly, application virtualisation can greatly shorten the deployment time. 

Maintaining a single central copy of each application is simple and very cost-effective, while "isolation" greatly reduces the chances of conflicts or deployment issues. 

A number of vendors offer solutions in this area, so which one you choose will depend on your strategy, requirements and budget.

Centralis partners with the leading vendors, including Citrix, Microsoft and VMware

Options include:

  • Streaming the application directly onto physical PCs

  • Streaming the application into virtual desktops (VDI)

  • Streaming the application onto Citrix XenApp servers

  • Creating published applications and desktops


Specialists in application delivery, Centralis can advise on the best options and solutions, and can also draw on a wealth of experience in a wide range of applications, helping them to run smoothly in both the physical and virtual worlds.

Secure Remote Access
   

Many users need access to applications when they are away from their desk.  Making applications and data available on-demand can greatly improve productivity and reduce cost - as well as helping with DR and business continuity. 

Powerful reasons to make remote access a central part of any I.T. strategy, but flexibility of access needs to be matched by security to ensure that no valuable data is lost and that only authorised staff and users can get access to systems.

Centralis specialises in helping customers to find that balance - flexibility versus control, performance and ease of use versus restriction.

For customers looking to provide secure remote access, Centralis can:

  • Help to deliver systems securely to un-managed PCs

  • Restrict access to certain applications, functions (e.g. printing) or data based on device tests & criteria

  • Ensure access solutions are resilient, highly performing and highly available

  • Integrate multi-factor authentication such as smart cards or pin numbers

  • Provide secure updates to remote devices in the field
