Vmware Engineer

The objective was to reduce the operating costs and maintenance of these systems. To carry out this process they have relied on VMware technology , served through the partner Ignos , an engineering and services company in the IT area and collaborating with VMware. The Official College of Engineers had an infrastructure based on two servers, eight jobs and fifteen other training positions. In this way, VMware demonstrates that it is a firm prepared to work in small organizations, allowing them to benefit from the advantages offered by this technology. The problem they suffered in Coiitf was that the hardware , both of the servers and that of the users' computers, was at the limit of their ability to support the applications that were used. This had a direct impact on the speed of running those applications, slowed down the work and affected the productivity of the organization's professionals.

In fact, only three years after the acquisition of the equipment, the customer began to detect a considerable increase in time and resources dedicated to its maintenance due to hardware and software configuration problems . Further,The applications most used by the organization are usually office automation , which does not require high graphic performance for its operation are very simple to deliver through remote desktop services. They also needed to host a custom web application in the school's own infrastructure . For the latter it has been necessary to acquire a new server. Finally, after analyzing the situation carried out by Ignos, the College chose to install the VMware ESX virtualization platform on that server, a last generation solution. consequently, there is now a Linux-based virtual machine that runs the web application made for Coiitf, and, on the other hand, two virtual machines based on Windows Server 2003. One acts as a remote desktop server for College users and another as a remote desktop server for users of the training classroom. Later, Coiitf will  acquire 15 light terminals for connection to Terminal Services, eliminating the need to replace current equipment with the introduction of a remote desktop server. As the equipment stops working they can be replaced by light terminals in a matter of minutes and without the need to reinstall and reconfigure them.

The first results have not been expected. First, the virtualization platform has reduced costs by granting more guarantees and superior performance . No less important is the reduction of acquisition and maintenance costs thanks to the light terminals. Finally, the possibility of renewing obsolete equipment more quickly, easily and cheaply is another of the most important advantages.
