Welcome to Virtuall

Welcome to the solution showcase of PQR. Designed, built and maintained by our team of leading infrastructure consultants. Virtuall.eu has three main purposes:

Website

This website provides technical information about all technologies and products that PQR has in its portfolio.

Demosite

Most products that PQR has in its portfolio are installed in the Virtuall environment. Most of them are available for customers through account managers who can demonstrate the functionality. Other products are available to everybody who registers on the demo site (see link in the right column).

Development site

PQR is constantly investing to keep up with all new technologies that are involved with Application Delivery and Data & System Availability. The development part of Virtuall is only available to PQR consultants. They are testing new software, develop best practices and write building blocks for designs and offerings.

 

Application & Desktop Delivery

Infrastructures are built to provide users with the applications they need to do their work.These applications produce data and data is provisioned by systems.

To allow users to work anywhere at any time, the applications and the desktops they workon have to be delivered to them in a certain way. To give an overview of the possible ways to do that, a diagram was created called ‘Application and DesktopDelivery’ solutions.

 

Data & System Availability

The dynamics of applications and desktops are making them location, device and time independent. Data and systems have completely different availability requirements. They are typically stored in a datacenter that is not dynamically provisioned, although we may see that change in the near future with the upcoming cloud computing initiatives.

 

Backend Services

Backend services are in essence the actual infrastructure functionality. They run on the systems that are in the infrastructure and typically include a directory system (i.e. Active Directory) and applications like groupware (i.e. Microsoft Exchange Server), databases, webservices, file and print servers, etc. A pro-active monitoring system helps to keep the infrastructure healthy, well-performing and highly available.
