By Role

No-one disputes the advantages of a centralized computing architecture for consolidation, standardization and cost-cutting in IT infrastructure environments.

A large and growing number of companies from all market sectors are adopting server-based computing, and the rapid, efficient and reliable provision of applicationsis emerging as one of the main advantages of this computing model.

Key Benefits for your Business

The key benefits emerge from an improved net product for your company by:

• shifting funds and resources from expenditure on infrastructure to improved applications for your core business
• easing the burden on IT budgets caused by constantly increasing operating costs
• focusing IT more on supporting business processes and reducing non-value-adding routine activities, such as software distribution, updates, patches, etc.
• lower expenditure on maintaining the IT operation
• significantly faster consolidation of applications and IT infrastructures on internal projects and company takeovers

More Advantages

Apart from the above advantages, there are other important factors that endorse visionapp solutions:

• revision-secure reproducibility through quick, automatic restoration of applications on server farms. This means that the compliance and governance guidelines are adhered to at all times.
• low-risk project implementation with tried-and-tested standard products and built-in best practices
• simple user access to applications with the personalized access portal
• high security features during access, use and operation of your centralized applications.

visionapp products and solutions enable you to achieve a level in planning, implementation, operation and security in your server farms that, until now, has only been encountered with established mainframe systems.

Your many years of experience have shown you the benefits of centralized IT. But you also appreciate the complexity of the modern IT environment, the challenges of a varied application landscape and the significant administration costs associated with secure, round-the-clock operation.

High levels of automation and security

The use of terminal server farms to distribute and run applications is at the very heart of centralized IT. Yet central systems require new concepts and solutions over the entire lifecycle of a server farm and the applications.

• Constant time saving when supplying new applications, updates and patches
• Substantial cost savings through the quick supply of applications to field and home offices and departments
• High level of security through the seamless integration of guideline-based technology for controlled access and the simplest use of existing applications
• Greater flexibility when accessing company applications and independence of hardware and software used by clients.

visionapp products and solutions contain a tried-and-tested lifecycle model for terminal server farms and highlight their leading role through established best practices.

Day-to-day dealings with end users and systems are a major challenge in your work. The rising number of applications and complexity of the systems require ever more time-consuming support. At the same time, you scarcely have the time and resources to improve your situation.
