Control and manage remote servers and desktops from a central location

Remote sites such as regional offices, retail stores and bank branches present unique challenges for IT organizations. Management complexity, inadequate infrastructure and a lack of administrative resources can make it difficult for companies to deliver consistent and scalable IT services to their remote offices in a timely manner. Virtualization is a great way to address these issues, and VMware offers solutions for remote and branch office management that will help you:

  • Simplify IT management and accelerate provisioning of remote systems
  • Ensure always-on availability and recover quickly from disasters
  • Reduce IT hardware and operating costs for servers and desktops
