Case Studies
Disaster Recovery
Dua & Co. are chartered accountants with branches in London and Delhi; as part of their strategic IT review they identified the need for a robust but affordable disaster recovery solution. Dua & Co. chose help4IT to provide a hot site virtual recovery solution using their City of London hosting facility
Server Consolidation
KMSIM
provide consultancy services and resource in the insurance and reinsurance markets. help4IT provided consultancy and management for a thin client model
and moved the servers running multiple platforms to a hosted environment. help4IT also used virtualisation to leverage underutilised
physical servers, lowering the total number required and minimising the hosting costs.
Virtual Applications
VC Train is a training consortium for the voluntary and community sector in South Yorkshire. help4IT provided VC Train with a load balanced Terminal Services solution that would publish applications seamlessly to remote Windows, Mac and Linux desktops.
Case Study: Application Virtualisation
Company: VC Train
Website: http://www.vctrain.org.uk/welcome.html
Type of Business: Training consortium for voluntary and community sector
Objective: Publish applications to remote users on demand
help4IT Solution: Application Virtualisation through Terminal Services
Background: VC Train is a training consortium for the voluntary sector in South Yorkshire with 20 office users and many more remote associates. VC Train required to securely provide remote users with licenced applications, e.g. Microsoft Office, on demand without installation. VC Train also required to be able to withdraw application usage without the need for uninstallation. Often remote users would not be connected to a server and therefore a pure Terminal Services solution would not be acceptable.
help4IT provided an application provisioning server which allowed authenticated remote and office users to access applications in three ways:
Remote Desktop: remote users could access a remote desktop through a web portal with a common set of available applications, files would be accessed on the central server and the remote users local printer would be available to print documents from the central server.
Remote Applications: remote users could access applications which would run on the central server but appear to be running locally on the users' PC.
Virtual Applications: remote users could download from the central server and run virtual applications locally. Virtual applications run in their own environment and are therefore hardware independent.
The software provisioning server gave VC Train many benefits including:
Significantly reduced support costs, applications are not installed on the users' PC and therefore there are far fewer incompatibilities.
Significantly increased security, users can be given access only to the applications that they are entitled to use. Access rights can be removed on demand when the user ceases to be associated with VC Train.

Disaster Recovery
Virtualisation can help make disaster recovery a reality where previously it could not be justified because of exorbitant cost.
Leveraging virtual machine technology makes offsite recovery an affordable option through saving hardware and space costs.
help4IT can offer hot site services for recovered and replicated virtual machines at its hosting facility in the heart of The City of London at a fraction of the cost of traditional disaster recovery solutions.
