Application Availability Solutions (ABS) 

You wish to keep a grip on all aspects of Windows based workspaces. Not just on performance, processing capacity and availability, but also on the scalability, flexibility, adaptability and costs. The demands regarding these aspects differ per organisation. This is taken into account in the Control Infrastructure vision of Inter Access on which the Application Availability Solutions (ABS) are based. We do not think in terms of products, but in terms of solutions that can bend to your specific needs. This way you stay ‘in control’.

The challenge

The wish lists of ICT departments regarding Windows workspaces show a striking amount of similarities. Here are the first mentioned wishes:

  • Lowering the costs of a workspace
  • Increasing the uptime with a more stable environment
  • Decreasing the pressure on your support organisation
  • More flexibility by workspace independence
  • Avoiding applications to hinder each other
  • Simplifying the migration to Microsoft Vista
  • Less specialist skills for support
  • Simplifying the compliance and license management
  • Shortening the time to market with new applications
The solution

Application Availability Solutions (ABS) enables you to successfully taken on these challenges. ABS can be deployed in all companies with Windows workspaces, regardless whether fat or thin clients are used. The benefits are the greatest in companies with 500 or more workspaces. ABS offers a variety of part-solutions that can be integrated as required. For all-inclusive solutions in the areas of, for example:

  • Server Based Computing
  • Application Virtualization
  • Windows Management Solutions

The heart of many solutions is virtualisation. This enables you to eliminate the regression of applications by joint use of resources (and in testing). This results in a significant relief of the support organisation. As far as management is concerned, we change the adagio ‘Everything is possible, unless it is forbidden’ into ‘Nothing is possible, unless it is permitted’. And because your need for control is our leading consideration, in the end, our solution will appear to be the solution.

The result

The business case for ABS is strong. We make a guaranteed ROI of at least 130% in modern IT environments. If you only work with fat clients and you do not possess central roll out tools the ROI is definitely much higher. The most important results are listed below:

  • No regression between applications
  • Minimal downtime of workspaces
  • Relieving the support organisation
  • Maximum flexibility and adaptability
  • Centralisation of management and control
  • Better security of the Windows environment
  • Optimal use of licenses
  • Roll based environment
  • Uniform management of PCs, laptops and thin clients
  • Simpler management of authorisations and policies
  • Cost reduction in different areas
The expertise

Inter Access has an extensive history in providing Windows workspaces and concepts such as Server and Client Based Computing. Furthermore, we have been supplying and developing applications ourselves on platforms such as Windows, SAP and Oracle for years. Due to this platform independence, we do not have to focus on set (combinations of) products. This provides the basis for objective advice and seamless integration. Besides (certified) expertise, we offer the necessary capacity to realise even large projects. If required, you can take over (parts of) projects completely. Thereby, practice shows that outsourcing leads to lower costs thanks to ABS.
