The New Global Indestructible Office July 22, 2009

At this exciting free event, Five IT and VMware will demonstrate the latest desktop virtualisation technologies that allow you to create a flexible office environment accessible anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

If you've been wondering how virtualisation fits into your desktop plans, or just want to get a better understanding of how to best deploy desktop and server virtualisation, you won't want to miss this event.

Nearly 3 years have passed since our first Merit seminar “The Global Indestructible Office”. Well things have certainly moved on since then and in this event, “The Global Indestructible Office Part 2”, we will cover the benefits virtual desktops can bring to your business as well as discuss actual customer case studies.

Imagine having your own desktop computer that is fully accessible wherever you go - in the office, at home, on the move or even abroad. All of your favourite programs, websites and email set-up just as you like them but with the performance, security, backup and reliability of systems normally only found at large blue-chip companies.
This technology is not just limited to the desktop, entire computer rooms and data centres can also be rationalised drastically reducing power, space and support costs by as much as 70%.

Technologies covered in this event include Desktop and application virtualisation, server virtualisation and storage virtualisation. After the presentation, specialists from Five IT and VMware will be on hand to answer any questions or queries you may have as well as provide further demonstrations of live virtual desktops which attendees can use and see for themselves to get the look and feel of a virtual desktop environment.

At the end of the event, we are also holding a prize draw in which one lucky attendee will walk away with a brand new Apple iPod Touch.

Five IT are also offering a free Virtualisation assessment worth over £1000, exclusively to Merit members. To find out more about this offer, either click on the "Virtualisation Assessment" link below, or contact us at [email protected]
