Issues & Challenges Top

Maintenance of an ageing desktop infrastructure was using almost all of the resources of the Zotefoams IT team. Both the business and users were frustrated that the team were spending all of their time fire-fighting desktop issues and were unable to deliver new value to the business.

Möbius Approach Top

Möbius designed a hybrid VMware View VDI solution to meet Zotefoams business needs. Möbius and Zotefoams worked closely together utilising Zotefoams experience of VMware ESX and Möbius’ Desktop Virtualisation expertise to design, implement and roll-out the new desktop solution. They re-used existing equipment where practical, and deployed HP thin clients to many desktop users. Möbius also converted a number of the key applications used by Zotefoams into VMware ThinApps. The project is in the process of rolling out 120 users across the UK.

Business Benefits Top

The end user experience is now faster, has a higher degree of commonality and is therefore more efficient. Zotefoams have realised a significant reduction in the administrative workload created by end device issues that were previously distracting the IT team from their strategic focus. The simple but powerful administration interface has enabled the IT team to respond to changing business requirements faster and easier than before.
