Virtualization
N3t offers virtualization to enhance your IT infrastructure and allow you to face business challenges in a more flexible and cost effective manner. We partner with some of the best technology companies to offer different levels of virtualization to fit any business need.
Server virtualization consolidates and optimizes your IT resources across the data center, streamlines your data center operations, and provides a range of business benefits to your enterprise. N3T’s holistic approach addresses the interdependent impacts of virtualization across your server, storage, network, and security infrastructures.
Let N3T help you with all aspects of virtualizing your environment. We begin the process with our comprehensive Virtualization Assessment service, which provides:
- A thorough inventory of your server and storage assets and capacity
- Baseline performance analyses

Desktop Virtualization
Enterprise Desktop Virtualization
As virtual desktop and application technologies mature and come to market, N3T is testing and deploying these solutions for our clients within our lab. Virtualizing desktops and applications will benefit all organizations by lowering operating costs, providing an easier platform for management, and introducing better controls for reducing risk. Initially the virtual desktop was focused on financial and healthcare verticals, but it has expanded to take a highly individualized approach for any organization.
Our customized and methodical approach involves collecting current and future state requirements, understanding end-user expectations, validating a baseline for performance data, and understanding the operational readiness for your organization. All data and metrics help develop a rapid proof-of-concept within our Lab, which results in a reference architecture that includes all hardware and software options for holistic or hybrid solution.
An Enterprise Desktop solution helps your company realize numerous advantages, including:
- Application virtualization: N3T recommends virtualizing applications prior to the desktop, so that both can be centralized within the data center for easier management, better recoverability and tighter security.
- Improved end-user experience: With users being the most critical of the end state solution, understanding their day-to-day experience helps shape the solution so performance and usability are prominently addressed.
- Single-image desk image: Many companies are choosing to build desktop images that get reused by any user to reduce costs and management cycles, or building a desktop for each user depending on the environment, cost and requirements.
- Offline desktop: More organizations have increasing demands for a mobile workforce. With that, end-users want the flexibility to run their desktop from anywhere, but companies want to retain control and management responsibility to a centralized IT function. These are all options to be examined in a proof-of-concept and costing model.
