VMware Consultants - Expertise with entire VMware Suite of Products

VMware is being leveraged heavily by businesses big and small to provide amazing flexibility for server consolidation, ease of management, cost savings therein, and the ubiquitous access that vmware servers provide to organizations.

VMWare may easily become a foundation for all server and network environments into the future.

VMware at its simplest form allows a complete Server to be fully portable, readily duplicated, easily restored, completely archived, and made highly available with modest financial investments to gain most of these functionalities.

Wi-Fi technology is becoming a competitive essential and necessary for companies and organizations of any size. Wi-Fi deployments significantly cut cabling and expansion costs and help employee productivity by enabling employee access to resources when working 'in the field' or otherwise away from their desks.

Agility installs best-of-breed wireless networks for security and flexibility. Our Wi-Fi solutions deliver;

• Business-class, secure, and scalable wireless networks
• Robust 802.11 a/b/g coverage over wide areas
• Centrally managed networks with multiple access points
• Industry leading security and policy enforcement
• 24/7 monitoring and management if desired
• Wireless QoS that enables Voice over Wi-Fi
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) installations to reduce electrical expansion costs
• Guest Access
• Mobile Voice Access: users can initiate calls from a mobile phone as if the phone is a local enterprise IP private-branch-exchange (PBX) extension and take full advantage of local voice gateways and WAN trunking

Wireless Intrusion Prevention (if your firm is still using WEP, please be concerned)
We help small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise branch offices accelerate wireless deployments. Leveraging best-of-breed solutions that provide robust and secure wireless networks planned and managed by experienced consultants reduces on-going management costs and eliminates security holes.

Agility can deploy and manage Cisco-based solutions designed for low total cost and high levels of security. Spending a small amount of time with an experienced Agility consultant will save significant amounts of time, energy and money when the inevitable happens (expansions, contractions, VoIP integrations, etc.)

Thin client server computing has become a popular and valuable computing platform for small businesses. Thin client server computing is essentially a shift of resource usage to servers (known as terminal servers) as opposed to desktops. When users run an application on a terminal server, the application execution takes place on the server, and only keyboard, mouse and monitor information is transmitted over the network or Internet. Users see only their own individual sessions, which are managed transparently by the server operating system, and remain independent of any other client session.

24x7x365 Help Desk / Support Desk

For real peace of mind, not just a sense of it.

The knowledge that the systems you have invested in are being monitored, managed and operating all day and every day is valuable enough.

How valuable is it to know that if something was to go awry in the middle of the night on a Sunday, and you or your staff could call your IT Services Firm, and have someone you may actually know, working on your situation?

This is what Agility has been providing for clients for more than 15 years. Agility knows how important I.T. systems are to your business and how important your business is to you. Sometimes the most important work happens after hours, weekends, or while you are out of town. Agility's size, flexibility, and commitment to being there for your company, when you need us, may sound a lot like and an marketing blurb, but it certainly is part of our Managed Services approach, a fundamental tenet to how we partner with our clients, and a big reason clients refer us to their colleagues and friends.

Agility's people and clients are our most important asset, because experienced people are the true key to doing things right our Help Desk is staffed by Senior Network Consultants only. We do not torture our clients with multi-tiered levels of support - experienced people respond and get the root issue in the right way as quickly as possible; creating efficient, long-lasting help from a true Help Desk.
