PTS Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Solutions with Tintri and VMware
Wednesday, April 08, 2015 – by Pete Sacco
VDI, or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, is a key initiative for many organizations looking to reduce administrative overhead while providing a more secure, flexible and reliable desktop computing environment for end users. Proper planning and good decision making are required to ensure a successful deployment. Choosing the right virtualization platform to host the virtual desktop implementation is often the first major decision and can make or break the entire transformation.
The key to success of any VDI initiative is choosing the right virtualization software. VMware Horizon™ Suite, and more specifically VMware Horizon View™, delivers a personalized high fidelity experience for end users across all sessions and devices. It enables higher availability and agility of desktop services unmatched by traditional PCs, while reducing the total cost of desktop ownership by up to 50%. VMware Horizon View end users achieve higher levels of productivity and the freedom to access desktops from more devices and locations.
Tintri Zero Management Storage™ was designed to address the mismatch between traditional storage solutions and the demands of virtualized environments. Built on the industry’s only intelligent VM-aware storage architecture, Tintri VMstore has the intelligence to deliver unparalleled performance and efficiency, and end-to-end insights into the storage infrastructure for unmatched VM control. With the high-performing, validated VMware® Horizon View™ and Tintri reference architecture, you can:
- Lower risk and cost-effectively deploy and scale desktop virtualization with as many as 1,000 end-users per Tintri VMstore
- Deliver a high performing and consistent end-user experience with Ultrabook levels of performance
- Keep end users connected and productive from a wide variety of clients with affordable easy to manage continuity
PTS can deploy VDI from within PTS’ Cloud Data Center or from a hosted deployment. Contact PTS with your VDI needs, and we'll tailor a solution to match your requirements in your preferred environment.

PTS Smart Open Lease for your Next Data Center or Enterprise Project
Thursday, March 12, 2015 – by Pete Sacco
PTS Offers a Turnkey Leasing Solution
There are many compelling reasons to lease
equipment. Implementing a leasing strategy provides benefits that both
CIOs and CFOs can agree upon. PTS will help craft a turnkey leasing
solution for your business, including Planning, Design, Sourcing,
Construction, Commissioning, and IT Implementation. We will help
establish scope and budget from an IT and Facility standpoint. PTS are
also licensed architects and engineers, so we are able to convert our
conceptual plans over to signed and sealed design documents. In
addition, PTS are general contractors with lots of experience building
tenant space computer rooms, and PTS can handle all the rest, including:
A/V, communications, and wireless.
PTS' Smart Open Lease plan offers a single flexible financial vehicle that can include Equipment and Services across IT, Facility, and Cabling. We offer delayed repayment options coordinated with design and construction. PTS’s Smart Open Lease allows businesses to get the exact data center they want, with NO upfront costs. PTS will allow you up to six (6) months to accumulate bills and apply them toward your previously approved “open” lease, so you won't have to pay upfront for any capital expenditures for planning, design, construction management, or commissioning. You won't even have to lay out cash for any new IT infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, storage, etc), or new facility infrastructure (generators, UPSs, air conditioners, cabinets, power strips, etc). Clients don't even have to use cash for the labor (IT implementation, electrical construction, mechanical construction, data cabling, etc).
Benefits of Leasing
- Reduce total cost of ownership
- Manage cash flow and budgets
- Keep debt off your balance sheet and improve your performance ratios
- Conserve working capital and keep lines of credit intact
- Eliminate book write-downs at the end of the equipment’s useful life
- Lease payments may be 100% deductible as an operating expense (please review this with your accountant)
- Keep up-to-date equipment in place with a built-in refresh strategy
- Retrieve and download information regarding your leased assets online
- Gain flexibility to upgrade technology to meet your changing needs
- Simplify asset disposal – just return the equipment to your lessor

PTS' Peter Sacco featured in CRN's 2015 Top 20 Data Center Designers and Builders
Thursday, February 19, 2015 – by Pete Sacco
Regardless of the size of the data center,
the right mix of IT, power and cooling equipment, and how that equipment is
integrated into the facilities, is key to maximizing efficiency and providing
the flexibility to expand as needed. Successful integration of equipment into
data centers depends on finding the right companies with site
preparation, design, construction
and management
expertise. Those organizations also need to be able to quickly turn the
new facilities over to customers and help manage the transition.
Such designers and builders are often the unsung heroes of the data center. But not in CRN, as noted in the CRN 2015 Top Data Center Designers and Builders list. |
