Client
ILB Computing had an existing client with a busy and growing Physiology practice over multiple locations.
The Problem
The servers were getting old and required frequent reboots.
The computer workstations were getting old and becoming unreliable.
Cloud solution
By moving the server to AWS EC2, and all workstations to AWS Workspaces, we created a far more flexible infrastructure that allowed easy shared access between and avoided the upfront cost of purchasing new servers and workstations and associated data replication between branches or RDP licenses.
The server size is instantly scaleable to suit the changing needs of the business.
Each workspace is accessible via the “converted” old workstations. At other locations each user will have remote access to the “same” workspace so they are familiar with the workstation. With a simple VPN solution, printing to all locations is simple
Cost breakdown
