- (1888PressRelease) October 09, 2010 - At a time when cost cutting is high on the agenda across all public sector and related organisations, First Wessex Housing Group is inviting IT personnel to see how they can benefit from different technologies in order to deliver both tangible capital and operational cost savings at a showcase event on November 16th.
Anthony Green from IT specialists, Blue Chip, which carried out the transformation to the information technology infrastructure for the Hampshire-based housing association, said: "We worked closely with the team at First Wessex to review their requirements and it became clear that they could benefit from a complete change to virtualised servers, virtualised applications, published desktops and thin clients, which replaced old PCs and servers.
As well as delivering cost savings, the new infrastructure increased server availability and reduced hands on system management time and desktop support requirements."
Due to the overwhelming success of the project, First Wessex is inviting visitors from other housing associations and government organisations to their offices on Tuesday November 16th to view the technologies in situ, while experts from Citrix will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate both the technological and bottom line benefits of this kind of project.
To meet demand, there will be two free of charge sessions - breakfast at 9.30am-12.00pm, and a working lunch 1.30pm-4.00pm, including an overview of server virtualisation, desktop virtualisation and storage, a live demonstration of the system working; benefits of virtualisation to First Wessex; a demonstration of VMware vShpere; and a demonstration of Citrix XenApp.
There will also be the opportunity to speak with First Wessex staff about how it has made their lives easier and ask how similar changes would help you; whilst the software experts who made this transformation possible will be on hand to answer any questions.
