Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) software manufacturer Sanbolic, today announced that real estate rental services company Accolade has chosen Sanbolic's Melio VDI solution. Accolade will use the Melio VDI solution in conjunction with Citrix Provisioning Services within its data centers to deliver and maintain server images.
“Using Melio for our PVS HA, all XenApp server images (vDisks) can be stored on a single storage volume accessible by all PVS servers simultaneously,” said Berend Hut, Manager I&A, Accolade. “Consolidating vDisks onto a single volume significantly streamlines data and storage management, eases vDisk maintenance, and improves storage utilization, which also helps to significantly lower costs.”
“Bottom line, we needed to ensure that our XenApp infrastructure was absolutely bullet-proof – with the highest levels of availability and fault tolerance – completely resilient to any possible unforeseen event,” concluded Hut. “With Sanbolic Melio, we got exactly that and quite a bit more.”
VDI (and its precursor think client computing) have long been used by more advanced MSPs to deliver more scalable managed services offerings around desktop devices. VDI brings to MSPs the ability to deliver desktop solutions without the inefficiency of many desktop managed services offerings.
