If there’s one thing the IT industry has learned over the last year or so, it’s that IT does not entail a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Better yet, it’s safe to say the IT landscape a few years from now will look nothing like it does today. When it comes to managing infrastructures, costs and systems, organizations of all sizes possess diverse needs that shift depending on factors like customer demands, new technologies and network requirements.

Part of the IT transformation in today’s enterprise organizations has much to do with the proliferation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), or the process of running a user desktop inside a virtual machine that exists on a server in a data center. Not only are today’s business professionals relying heavily on smartphones and tablets to take them through the workday, but they are simultaneously looking for ways to extend their traditional PC desktop environments to these devices. Moreover, in the next year, 4G networks are expected to become prevalent across most of the nation, meaning any device out on the market will boast speeds fast and reliable enough to allow for access to a central environment with absolutely no performance implications. 

However, with enhanced technologies come raised standards by consumers, who expect their applications and devices to perform healthily and always be available and secure. Luckily, there is one company that is well aware of the inherent need to veer away from a one-size-fits-all approach to IT and the strain IT departments are experiencing from customer demands and unfaltering evolutions in technology.

Breakthrough Technology Group is a leading IT and telecommunications solutions provider that upholds a singular focus on supporting its enterprise customers by using cutting-edge technology and communications. The independent company, which was recognized by AT&T (News - Alert) as its highest-producing Channel Solutions Partner for the second year in a row, prides itself on being able to deliver a foundation to support the next-generation growth of its customers. For Breakthrough Technology Group, a large part of doing so is through its end-to-end solution that is designed to manage the full scope of IT needs for clients – regardless of size.

Called AppsAnyplace, this end-to-end VDI and management solution combines VDI, offline VDI and VDI remote branch solutions to eliminate the hassle, complexity and cost that typically come along with desktop virtualization solutions. Since AppsAnyplace is built on an enterprise-class architecture, it delivers comprehensive IT support from the desktop through the server farm, as well as full redundancy across multiple SAS 70, tier-4 data centers.

Other features of AppsAnyplace include cloud-based SaaS (News - Alert) services like Exchange 2010, SharePoint 2010 and Lync Server 2010 and Archiving, as well as online backup and infrastructure/application management – both on-premise or in the cloud.

“AppsAnyplace will revolutionize how organizations and enterprises of all sizes utilize and harness the power of information technology – truly, it is one of a kind,” Jeff Kaplan, CEO and founder, Breakthrough Technology Group, said when the company brought the solution to market in mid-2011. “By enabling the full spectrum of cloud and managed services, AppsAnyplace epitomizes BTG’s end-to-end approach; customization, flexibility and rock solid infrastructure.”

According to Breakthrough Technology Group officials, VDI offers three powerful benefits to businesses: lowered total cost of ownership, improved security and compliance, and agility in responding to user-focused IT needs – all of which AppsAnyplace has the ability to tackle for enterprise, government, education, and non-profit organizations.
