IT services for enterprise organisations needing tactical solutions
For larger organizations, ThinkGrid and our partners can help to extend your IT infrastructure, solve tactical problems and help meet computing demands in the most efficient manner possible, leaving you safe in the knowledge that we're focused on meeting your needs and delivering infrastructure which works in harmony with existing or complicated setups.
At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to being a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes, and our services are designed with the needs of those customers in mind. Along with our partners, we provide our customers with all or part of their IT infrastructure, meeting their individual requirements but hosted, supported, managed and maintained on our platform. This allows our customers the freedom to concentrate on their own areas of expertise and to meet the demands placed on their IT with agility, flexibility and state-of-the-art services.
Utilizing our Cloud Computing infrastructure, we can provision tactical hosted IT solutions for enterprises of all sizes. All of our large enterprise customers already have significant internal infrastructure and expert in-house IT teams, yet they turn to ThinkGrid to solve specific problems that can be better addressed off-premise than by themselves. ThinkGrid's 'as a service' model means that enterprises can now deliver tactical deployments and address specific usage scenarios quickly, easily and cost effectively. In view of the increasing complexity of many technologies, and faced with the white noise of competing vendors, customers recognize our expertise and experience in building a world class, resilient cloud platform capable of delivering services and solutions to hundreds of thousands of users.
Key to ThinkGrid's enterprise offerings is being able to easily integrate with customers' existing networks, so that our services become a seamless extension of those already provided by in-house IT departments. By doing this, we can then allow customers to be as hands on or hands off as they like in terms of the management of these services. With comprehensive access through easy to use control panels, IT departments are able to directly control their hosted infrastructure. However, for those customers who want to leave the day-to-day management in ThinkGrid's and our partners' hands, they can do so safe in the knowledge they have direct access to a team of experts, and that all of our services are SLA-backed and guaranteed.
Why not take a look at our services and the problems they can solve, find a partner, or give us a call if you'd like to talk to one of our team in person.
Typical scenarios enterprises face
Reduce your costs >
Any large business will, over the past few years, have made a huge investment in IT in order to enable staff to collaborate and be more productive. IT directors are being asked to deliver more from a small IT budget and, based on the complexitities and legacy systems that exist, this can be a near impossible challenge. ThinkGrid offers a way for IT executives to move certain portions of IT off-premise to lower costs. Utilizing our cloud platform, integrate hosted services and resources with your business.
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop, Virtual Server Infrastructure, Private Cloud and Hosted Exchange
Investigating VDI >
The Butler Group has stated that 2009/2010 is the year when a number of enterprises will try VDI (virtual desktop infrastucture). Rather than investing in the servers, SANs, training and software to achieve an unkown result, utilize ThinkGrid's established hosted Virtual Desktop platform. Integrate as part of your own environment, mantain full control, and use our expertise. Should your test, proof of concept or tactical project be successful, work with us and our partners on rolling it out into production.
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop and Private Cloud
Rationalizing existing server infrastructure >
Most large enterprises have tens, hundreds or even thousands of active servers running applications, software and infrastructure services. The costs of not only the data center but the hardware itself soon mount up. ThinkGrid can extend its infrastructure for your use, allowing you to move from physical to virtual, reducing your server footprint, reducing the cost and taking away some of the responsibility, whilst letting you maintain ownership and control.
Recommended Services: Virtual Server Infrastructure and Private Cloud
Moving from Citrix style environments >
Many mid-size organizations utilize Citrix presentation server and XenApp to provide some access to services outside of the working environment. However, the cost is prohibitive and means your IT organization can be left managing this as well as the desktop environments - openning up duplication of human resource and cost.
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop
Overstretched IT team >
IT directors are being asked to do more and more in an increasingly complicated world. Compounding desktops, servers, applications, communications and mixes of requirements is a near impossible task to deliver. Working with ThinkGrid helps IT managers gain control of their environment by partnering. Moving typically difficult services off-premise to ThinkGrid means that we take on the management and infrastructure responsibility, whilst you main control over quality and the direction of the service - a win-win scenario. Reduce your team's time spent debugging desktops, patching etc. and switch to productive and proactive IT.
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP, Software as a Service, Virtual Server Infrastructure, Private Cloud and Hosted Exchange Email
Looking at off-premise >
Enterprise organizations are looking closer at placing elements of their IT off-premise. The word "outsourcing" is the wrong term, as many enterprises would like to maintain control and direction of their services, whilst using economies of scale of service providers to leverage cost savings. ThinkGrid's versatile platform allows integration into your existing network and IT, whilst giving you a platform capable of scaling and launching an array of new or existing services.
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop, Virtual Server Infrastructure, Private Cloud and Hosted Exchange Email
Enable Remote Working >
If your business is looking to utilize flexible working, or has distributed staff members, building an IT system to cope can be very expensive and difficult. ThinkGrid can provide services which allow users to connect from anywhere, as all of our solutions are hosted. We provide hosted desktops to allow users to connect from anywhere and experience the same features as they would if physically in the same office (i.e. secure file sharing and telephone system), as well as enabling collaboration from shared calendars, shared contacts and more from Hosted Exchange. Why look at expensive Citrix or Terminal server solutions, when hosted virtual desktop are 10% of the cost and offer twice the flexibility?
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop, Hosted VOIP, Hosted File Server and Hosted Exchange Email
Upgrading Hardware/Software? >
If your business is at a cross-roads, looking whether to upgrade to the latest desktop computers, upgrading a new version of MS Office etc., then IT on demand lets you avoid spending any capital. Using our cloud computing model of providing services securely over the internet, ThinkGrid can offer 3 options:
Extend the life of your existing equipment. Use your existing PCs as connection devices to Hosted Desktops (even if 10 years old), gaining access to the latest technologies instantly - no need to upgrade hardware.
Don't invest in new software. Use ThinkGrid's software on demand to deliver applications to desktops for a fraction of the cost of buying.
Replace old PCs with thin clients to save power, initial cost and ongoing management.
Recommended Services: Hosted Desktop and Hosted File Server
