“Today any U.K. organization with 1 to 5,000 employees can easily take advantage of using virtual applications and desktops on any device. Cloud computing is a fast and cost-effective way to increase flexibility, productivity and it can deliver significant savings on the cost of hardware, IT time, bring your own device (BYOD) programs and more,” said Grey Matter Managing Director, Matthew Whitton. “Parallels RAS makes it simple for us to enable any partner to instantly support their customers and get them up and running with virtual apps and desktops in as little as one day.”
Parallels RAS supports Microsoft RDS and all major hypervisors, including hyper-converged solutions such as Nutanix Acropolis, HPE and KVM. It can also be integrated with Microsoft Azure cloud services that Grey Matter offers, bringing scalable on demand application delivery services.
“By moving to a cloud based solution we are able to keep our clients up to date with the latest versions of software. Also providing support is significantly more straight forward as we no long have to go through a wide variety of IT department procedures to gain access to database servers and client PCs. Having Grey Matter as a partner has really helped make the process much easier than it would have otherwise been,” said Shawn Foster, Technical Director for Purcell Radio Systems Ltd., Independent Software Vendor.
Parallels president Jack Zubarev said, “Parallels RAS is the easiest solution for delivering virtual applications and desktops to any device with the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). We are pleased to partner with Grey Matter to bring the solution to UK’s MSP, ISV, and overall reseller market as its deep expertise and excellent post-sales licensing support, enables both partners and customers to reduce their costs, while delivering seamless and cost-effective services to end-users.”
