VIRTUAL WORKPLACE
The world has been revolutionized by virtual workplaces—or virtualization which has distinct meanings to different individuals and companies. We at VD Networks look at it as upgrading flexible productivity from an organization’s workforce regardless of their physical location.
VD Networks leverages the comprehensive collective experience of its team professionals by means of a set of standardized and well-documented IT problem-solving techniques that we call SolutionPathsSM. Continuously sharpened over the last several years to incorporate a continuous development of practices and technologies over time, they reflect the company’s insights into business consulting workflows, process and client support best practices, and more.
The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the world into new dimensions for change, working as a wake-up call for global organizations to have strong support systems for virtual workplace operations in place so: 1) their workforce can easily cooperate and remain fruitful no matter where they are, and 2) full and efficient use is made of any endpoint hardware they procure.
Picking the proper combination of virtualization solutions is essential to ensuring the success of your overall IT technology strategy.
VD Networks maintains strategic partnerships with leading virtualization partners, including Microsoft, HPE, VMWare, Nutanix, and Citrix, among others.

Behind the scenes, at any organization, fielding a virtual workplace are several vital software components woven into an overall virtualization architecture.

Virtualization offerings can be used to address common business and technical challenges. Scenario 1: Be prepared to handle the unexpected Beyond just providing resources to implement the servers necessary to run your infrastructure, making sure your organization is making the best use of its IT investment will help ensure readiness for the unexpected. VD Networks has helped customers navigate the complexities of moving from a single physical data center to that a fully resilient “always on” strategy that takes full advantage of features already available in current platform technology. Sometimes all that is required is demystifying process and getting to the mission-critical goals of your organization—like keeping computing resources available regardless of adverse conditions like extended power or site outages. In the event of a site outage, having the right resources—like VMWare Site Recovery Manager to bring your disaster recovery site online and populated—is a key enablement tool. Additionally, capabilities like Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) from a capable ADC provides resiliency for web-based applications.
Scenario 2: Remote doesn’t have to mean less productive During the last year, many organizations made a rapid shift to employees working remotely outside their normal office environments, and with that shift came the realization that users’ personal devices are not generally up to the requirements of a traditional office PC. Even if quickly deploying VPN connections to all users is possible—which carries its own security considerations—issues such as the proper application sets for users to work effectively must be addressed. Implementing a robust virtual desktop solution like that offered by Citrix Virtual Desktops allows for rapid deployment of secured desktops to accommodate a large and diverse user base—including all required applications, data access, and other resources—regardless of an individual users location in a traditional office or home/remote office setting.


Scenario 3: Managing a sprawling infrastructure Having lots of powerful tools and hardware at your disposal is great, but it still needs to be managed properly to ensure that everything is implemented in a logical manner and that resources are not given away haphazardly without a thought to providing ongoing support. Leveraging tools like VRealize Operations has helped customers gain precise data center metrics to ensure that smooth operations continue. Many of those same customers also see benefits with VRealize Automation to provide for orchestration and provisioning.
