A PC has gone to the Rombus cloud

Rombus thought you might like to hear a story.

Like many businesses, Rombus has members of its staff who often work from home. We already make use of an IP Telephony solution so when members of Rombus call head office or vice versa it’s a free call; however it doesn’t mean they call in more though.

Even though we are an IT company we still suffer from hardware failure and one of our computers was on the brink of going to PC heaven so we thought why not virtualise the computer and give it an afterlife. Using VMware Convertor we converted the machine in a few hours and have moved it onto our virtualisation setup. 

The machine is now accessible from anywhere with an internet connection using a remote desktop connection and is automatically backed up every night. 

Our developers often need test environments for web development, diagnosing or testing of new software and so instead of the hassle of hardware and networks, we simply clone an existing machine suitable and have an environment setup for testing to help us diagnose or test systems faster. 

We used to have 7 big physical servers in our office and now we have 1.

We are very proud of our datacentre setup which utilises virtualisation and the services it can offer our customers.
