Cloud Readiness Assessment
Lucidity IT's Cloud Readiness Assessment offers an elastic, staged and logical approach across staff, business processes and technology to help your organisation understand and plan for adopting cloud services.
We asses your existing infrastructure and technical requirements, then evaluate application readiness for the cloud. We define and prioritise which areas of infrastructure to move to the cloud, and design a plan to commence migrations.
Lucidity IT will assist you in designing a long-term cloud strategy for planning, building and managing your cloud environment that aligns with your business requirements to help your organisation avoid any costly re-architecture and re-integration requirements.
Infrastructure as a Service
Utilising the latest Enterprise-Grade, highly available compute, storage and virtual networking, we can cater for any type of deployment that your organisation requires. Require layer 2 networking into your Virtual Data Centre? Need a UTM-SDWAN Firewall Instance? Self-service Portal? You define the requirement.
We have you covered.
Built with absolute uptime as a mandatory requirement, our VMware based Private/Hybrid Cloud Provider has mandated lifecycle management. The infrastructure is always patched and maintained so your IT Team can focus on the real value add for your business, providing outcomes for your clients.
Leveraging a Private IaaS/Hybrid Cloud deployment in conjunction with a Desktop as a Service platform, provides a robust platform for success. No matter where you are, servers and desktops are always on, always available and always scalable.
Unlike public cloud providers, all resources are protected by enterprise grade Unified Threat Management security appliances. A “Security First” approach, having an unsecure platform for business is simply not an option we provide.
Desktop as a Service (AKA Cloud based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
DaaS Virtual desktops are revolutionising the way businesses procure, manage and maintain their desktop systems. One of the key benefits of using DaaS across your organisation is that in the event of hardware failure, you can log-in to your virtual profile on a new device and all your data is at your fingertips. There's no need for reconfiguration on a new pc or laptop, just log-in and continue working.
DaaS is replacing traditional PCs in organisations. The technology allows businesses to reduce their infrastructure costs and enhance performance. DaaS enables businesses to store desktop operating systems, software, and data on a central server instead of on individual computers. The technology is easier to manage and less expensive. Virtual Desktops are able to be optimised in a way the traditional PC could not.
When your desktop environment is operating on a virtual machine your organisation no longer needs to invest in individual workstations. Traditional PCs can be replaced with thin and zero clients, which are much more cost effective and with a significantly longer life-cycle than a PC. (5-7 years)
Software can be deployed to desktops from a central location with DaaS, which reduces the number of licenses required for your organisation’s key applications and dramatically reduces time spent on administering the desktop infrastructure.
Conducting operating system upgrades on a traditional desktop fleet in some organsatisons can be a 12-18 Month project, with the utilisation of the DaaS stack, a multi site organisation desktop rollout can take place in hours!
Data centre speeds on your desktop no matter where you are!
