SMB Market in 2010

In 2009, big players like EMC, Cisco, Microsoft focused on building virtualization and cloud solution catering to the needs of both remote office users and small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). These were solutions built specifically for SMBs. In 2010, the trend will continue and even the large organizations will start adopting it. Even though the market looks huge for virtualization, there are some concerns that needs to be addressed.

Main Concern

Virtual servers are critical for SMBs as a small hardware failure on the virtual server could result in virtual desktops and servers becoming unavailable. Hence, business continuity becomes critical.

Why are we talking about this?
We are a company with strong focus on SMBs with SaaS and Cloud skills. We have implemented virtual environment within our organization and configuration of the systems that we had used as virtual desktops are:
1. Pentium 3 processor (we found few from our garrage)
2. 128 MB SD RAM (kind of treasure hunt!!!)
3. CD-ROM

There were no hard disks as we have created a bootable CD which will get directly connected to our server. The costs were minimal due to the usage of used systems. We have ensured that we drive green message by reusing the old PCs which would otherwise have gone as a e-waste

Performance

The performance is amazing as the speed of the systems is completely dependent on the Servers performace which we have ensured to be the best in class. Its cool as we will not be bothered about upgrading our systems. We will be able to manage all our work with our servers. Our engineers are happy and we are sure we will have good savings going forward.
