Virtualisation
'We were looking at application virtualisation and allowing our users to access to the schools resources from home. MET implemented Citrix XenApp and CAG with thin clients – its allowed us offer more to our users and enhanced their learning whilst giving us a more efficient, green and manageable infrastructure'
Chris Gardner, Network Manager, Chapel-En-Le-Frith High School

Benefits of Virtualisation
All too frequently, a single server supports no more than a single application and many have been deployed by end-user departments away from the control of the central ICT function. In many cases, the servers are poorly managed and disorganised. Whereas Desktop and Application management- such as updates, can take a significant amount of the IT resources time that could be better spent elsewhere.
MET have delivered many virtualisation projects, the benefits of virtualisation include:
You get more out of your resources and reduce costs: Through consolidation that virtualisation offers your infrastructure is far more efficient and utilised, meaning lower costs.
Reduce physical infrastructure, improve server to admin ratio: Few servers and hardware mean lower energy costs and your IT admin staff have more time available to focus on more vital issues.
Better business continuity: Increased availability of hardware and applications.
More agile and flexible IT: A more consolidated and manageable IT environment means the business can respond to market changes far better.
