Recommendations

“Strong expertise in VMware virtualisation solutions and ability to compete with price in the bid comparison clinched the race for Proact. We received a high-quality and reliable partner, which was more than critical for the success of the project...We appreciate the local expertise of Proact in EMC/VMware technologies that have an important role in our data centre infrastructure”

Marko Niskala, System Manager at Oulun Tietotekniikka (OTT), Finland
“As suppliers, Proact are phenomenally committed. They have trained consultants specifically to match our needs, and they are always active when it comes to suggesting changes – which in most cases do not even require new investments on our part.”

Marcus Nelson, Operations Manager, Alfa Laval, Sweden
“This is streamlining the entire storage management system in a big way, giving us better control over information and enhancing accessibility and security. Although we have the same number of servers as before – four physical machines and 60 virtual – we have a lot more capacity.”

Björn Ramqvist, IT engineer at BAE Systems Hägglunds, Sweden
“There are masses of advantages with using virtualised clients. The most obvious, perhaps, is the fact that administration will be a lot easier. When updating computers, we used to have to update each and every computer individually. Now we can handle updates centrally....Proact has been an important part of this project, helping to create a consolidated and modern IT environment. The great thing about Proact is that with them, we get the best of both worlds; benefits of scale such as round-the-clock support which a smaller company would never have been able to offer, and at the same time a close, personal relationship.”

Magnus Carlsson, Head of IT at the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden
“We have processor power and memory ‘on tap’, you could say! In this way, we save time and money and are also using our hardware as efficiently as possible. At the end of the day, we are reducing the Time-to-Market for our clients as well; and not to mention the amount of energy we are saving...If any of the host computers – that is, the hardware hosting the virtual computers – goes down, I immediately receive an e-mail notifying me of this and can pinpoint the problem with ease.”

Peter Lindvall, Head of IT at Cinnober, Sweden
