Our Services

Overview and Value

Server, storage, and workstation hardware are a large part of an organization’s capital expense. Virtualization maximizes the usage of those investments. Every environment is unique, which is why Open Approach examines the utility of virtualization within the organization and will recommend solutions that fit your users and applications.

What’s Involved

Desktop virtualization is creating a virtual machine that acts as a desktop environment. Server virtualization is creating a virtual machine that acts as a server.

Server Virtualization

Open Approach will maximize the use of the physical servers by using server and storage virtualization. This translates to less initial cost and ongoing maintenance contracts for the hardware.

Desktop & Application Virtualization

Open Approach will evaluate our client's environment to ensure Desktop or Application Virtualization makes sense both from a cost perspective and application operability. We specialize in Citrix, RDS, and Windows Virtual Desktops (cloud-hosted).
