Virtualization

Fluent provides a comprehensive set of virtualization consulting services leveraging Microsoft solutions. Virtualization technologies can be intelligently applied to all aspects of the server and desktop environment to support a dynamic enterprise. The business benefits of virtualization include cost savings, improved business continuity and disaster recovery, reduction in IT management overheads, and the creation of a more dynamic, flexible, and responsive IT infrastructure leading to improved IT business alignment.

Server Virtualization

Server virtualization enables multiple server operating systems to run on a single physical server machine as virtual machines (VMs). Fluent works with clients to develop roadmaps for server virtualization and consolidation across the enterprise, and then assists clients with plan execution and benefits realization. Leveraging Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V technology, Fluent consultants strategically consolidate server workloads, define and implement disaster recovery models, and implement security models leveraging virtualization technologies.

Application Virtualization

Application virtualization removes the need for applications to be physically installed, allowing for applications to be delivered and restored on demand, dynamically, on desktops or through terminal servers. Fluent works with clients to envision and realize the benefits of application virtualization and Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization technology, enabling applications to be rapidly delivered and managed securely as virtual services provided only to authorized users and without conflict with other applications or operating systems. As a result, applications can be rapidly and easily rolled out, updated, supported, restored with user preferences, re-allocated, and removed cleanly across the enterprise.

Desktop Virtualization

Desktop virtualization and virtual desktop infrastructure create separate and typically multiple desktop operating system environments either on the desktop or hosted on a server. The technologies are often used as an alternative to Terminal Services for special situations, and to allow legacy or line of business applications to operate within a diverse operating system environment. Fluent helps clients identify where to appropriately use virtual desktop technologies such as Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop, which allows for an entire desktop operating system to be hosted on a server and remotely delivered to a desktop, and Microsoft Virtual PC, which allows for multiple operating systems on a single desktop.

Infrastructure Management

Infrastructure management employs a unified system for managing all virtual and physical assets, helping consistently manage, automate, secure, prioritize, and monitor both virtual and physical resources, as well as virtualization profiles, from a single management suite. Fluent works with clients to define and implement infrastructure management strategies leveraging Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft System Center.
