Our engineering team guides you each step of the way through the process of leveraging business virtualization technology to ensure you circumvent configuration pitfalls that may increase the impact of a single server failure. At a high level, virtualization allows speedy and cost-effective deployment of new applications and basic redundancy. Used to its highest capacity, server virtualization provides automated failover and fault tolerance, significant scalability, simplified backups, accelerated recovery, performance optimization, and multi-site disaster recovery capabilities.With extensive expertise in hardware virtualization solutions from Microsoft and VMware and software virtualization technologies like Parallels and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions, we have the wherewithal to build customized virtual platforms for Bethesda companies and organizations.

Businesses leverage all of the same great advantages and cost savings associated with server virtualization software applied to end-user workstations and desktops in the form of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). A VDI infrastructure centralizes management of all user profiles and configurations (installed apps, access controls, and various settings) for ease of use. Each desktop looks and feels just like running a standalone tower PC or laptop, and is remotely accessible using affordable and modern devices like thin clients or tablets. Users gain the advantage of direct access to a company’s highly reliable and stable virtual platform, the additional advantage of a personalized desktop experience, and ability to work offsite without the costs of deploying or maintaining PCs. VDI software solutions also facilitate centralized or remote diagnostics support, for speedy, efficient help desk and applications support.

The team at Swift Systems has expertise in administering risk mitigating evaluations and performing physical-to-virtual (P2V) and virtual-to-virtual (V2V) migrations for Bethesda businesses with minimal operational impact and no loss of functionality or productivity. Our team of engineers has comprehensive knowledge of all major virtualization platforms, including Veeam, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Parallels, and Citrix XenServer. We support your existing IT department with troubleshooting or implementing any of these technologies into your environment.

The science of storage selection is now a technical art form as the pervasiveness of electronic transactions progresses exponentially new creative opportunities and requirements arise. The massive amounts of data produced and stored by the modern systems supporting these transactions provide amazing insights into the companies that can obtain, analyze, and articulate the patterns and metrics that data represents. This promise of transactional insight presents whole new levels of competitive advantage to the businesses that can harvest it, but first, you must store it, process it, and be able to store the output. Investing in larger, faster systems and storage devices is not the answer to alleviating data burdens on aging IT infrastructures. We ascertain the true I/O capacity and performance you need, application by critical application, platform by platform, with an eye for reliability, scalability, manageability, and your risk tolerance. Many new storage technologies offer varied price and performance points, and support blending high, mid, and near-line performing capabilities within a single device that can cost effectively grow with the needs of your Bethesda business.

Our substantial background building and operating stable virtual platforms enables our engineering team with the time-tested knowledge to provide the flexible, scalable, and shareable storage resources that larger platforms demand while also considering overall system performance and operational risks. The advancement of virtualization technology including the performance and scalability of modern server resources allows organizations to take maximum advantage of server hardware in order to securely run several, distinct operating systems on one piece of hardware. Our state-of-the-art data centers are optimally designed for public facing consolidated virtual server farms and the virtual private servers Bethesda companies like yours need, with the reliable power, connectivity, and environmental and operational controls that enhance equipment lifespans and increase reliability.
