Hughes Network Systems unveiled a virtualized server offering for the government market designed to reduce IT infrastructure and operating costs, while enabling “Field Office of the Future” applications. In a press release offered on the company's website, Hughes states that with its Virtualized Server offering, federal agencies can reduce the number of servers at their sites, while keeping essential applications locally for performance and reliability, and IT departments are better able to utilize their local infrastructure, improving efficiency, application availability and performance while lowering IT costs dramatically.
Hughes' release designed to reduce IT infrastructure and operating costs.
"'As federal agencies look to upgrade the aging IT infrastructures at their field offices, bureaus, and divisions, they can benefit from our new Virtualized Field Office Server offering that eliminates the need to deploy multiple single application servers at these sites,' said Tony Bardo, assistant vice president for government solutions at Hughes. 'They can easily host their own applications, such as WAN optimization, training, television or digital signage in single or multiple virtual machines, for the utmost in flexibility. The bottom line is that the Hughes Field Office Server brings the benefits of virtualization to all federal field offices—at best value—in a fully managed, easy-to-deploy solution.'”
