It is tempting to bring out the familiar phrase: It’s finally here! A brand-new service which has already started a ripple effect in the great ocean of the IT industry. The ability to operate VMware as well as ongoing updates and maintenance of your hypervisor level are the talk of the town. It gives us great pleasure to introduce our new VMware as a Service.

“Over the course of several years, we have sold an incredible amount of hardware that has had VMware installed on it,” Annette Lading, Vice President, Managed Services, says to start us off. “As a natural course of business, things must be updated and when it comes to VMware, we have been doing it ad hoc just like everyone else for many years. Therefore, having a service such as this will be a great value-add to our customers right out of the gate. What we are offering here is something many truly need and therefore, we can make a significant difference.”

Proactivity and Oversight

When it comes to IT services, our clear mission is to make life easier for our customers. We aim to free up resources in the IT departments of companies and organizations by removing the routine tasks in order for the focus to be placed on efficiency, the users, and the business. “With VMware as a Service, we manage ongoing maintenance. Proactivity is the operative word. The goal is to free up dedicated efforts and time,” Annette explains and adds: “We set up monitoring which is running constantly and we monitor release cycles. These are usually two very big items in IT operations. Some customers choose all releases and some choose every other release. We make sure it fits the customer’s operation and strategy and anything is possible.”

Free Access to Specialists

One of the most important aspects of the service is that wait time has been eliminated because you no longer need to book a consultant when you have an issue. In addition to that, your organization saves a substantial amount of resources on maintaining various levels of specialization.

“It is difficult for companies whether they are in the public or private sector to maintain the specialist skills involved in this service and therefore, we add a significant value. We have a large team of specialists who are up-to-date within these areas and we are accessible to the customer immediately,” Mark Løgtved Møller, explains. Mark is an Architect who works with VMware operations on a daily basis. “It goes without saying that we also manage the security portion through which we actively perform patching to protect the customer.”
