Perfectly sized resource pools ensure your IT budget runs and scales as efficiently as your applications.

As a Microsoft Cloud Partner, Virtual Systems can deliver your entire platform including Windows and O365 for one easy subscription.

BUILT FOR RECOVERY

Whether you use Virtual Systems as a target from your own premise or you leverage our multi-data center footprint to set recovery sites across our locations, you can always practice your recovery events with the help of our Veeam-Certified Engineers. Leverage cloud storage options ranging from hot-standby for immediate recovery to cold archival for long-term retention.

Success Story

In 2016, NAI came to Virtual Systems to discuss moving into a holistic solution that would perform with better speed, better agility and meet their needs of workspace access from anywhere (including iPads) for their agents in the field. They needed their IT to adapt to a workforce who were already mobile but had ever-increasing technology demands away from the office. Virtual Systems worked with them to migrate 60 users to cloud workspaces and built in additional disaster recovery with minimal upfront capital expense.

Workspaces are tailored to each users needs and allow for their sales team to use whatever device they like best when they’re away from the office.
