Star Storage obtains the VMware “Desktop Virtualization Competency” certification
Star Storage – the VMware authorized partner with the highest level of competency in Romania
Star Storage, the storage solutions, archiving and information management (data and documents) provider, announces the obtaining of a new VMware certification, “Desktop Virtualization Competency”, reinforcing its position as a reliable VMware partner.
Acting as a supplement to the “Virtualization Infrastructure Competency” certification obtained by Star Storage in February 2010, “Desktop Virtualization Competency” certifies Star Storage’s skills and competence in implementing station virtualization solutions.
Workstations represent the central technology of IT infrastructure, the workspace for each employee and their efficient use is critical in fulfilling the tasks of each employee. VMware View is the most common virtualization software suite for optimizing and environmental management of the workstations, offering a high level of security, efficiency in their management and availability.
In terms of benefits, there are two perspectives: the user’s one and the IT department’s one. On one hand, users need efficiency and flexibility, and on the other hand, the IT department focuses on data security and centralized management of the workstations. Virtual desktop solution unites the two perspectives, covering both types of requirements. Users thus have access anytime and anywhere, and IT managers have full control, while the entire system is available to them in the Data Center.
“Considering that the Star Storage team currently has 19 VMware technical certifications, Presales and Sales, out of which 6 are VMware Certified Professional (VCP), we are currently authorized VMware partners in Romania with the highest competence level, which can provide the widest range of enterprise-class services while respecting the standards set by VMware. On this line of business, Star Storage has a complete offer and can provide customers a virtual desktop solution on both their own infrastructure and as a service in Tier 3 Data Center that we own. The customer has the freedom to choose the solution that fits, and the most convenient payment method at that time (CAPEX and OPEX). Through a centralized architecture, Star Storage virtualization solutions allow remote management for all stations. The solution is transparent to the end user, as the experience of using a virtual desktop is identical to the one of using a classic desktop system. The major advantages are, though, when we discuss activities related to management, upgrade, patch or installed security software solutions, which is now done centrally as opposed to the classic scenario involving the physical configuration for each station.” declared Radu Isaia, Presales Director, Infrastructure Solutions & Data Center Services, Star Storage.
Star Storage solutions based on the VMware technology allow companies, in addition to a more effective control of workstations, to implement effective security policies, adoption and rapid implementation of business continuity solutions at low cost, and strengthen development and testing environments on new applications.
