Imagine Virtually Anything –
What about a Virtual Data Center?
Sound familiar? Many data center architectures are still built
around silos of servers and storage systems, requiring multiple
provisioning toolsets, data management processes, and different teams to manage
the pieces. In addition, massive data growth combined with power, cooling, and
space limitations is exerting extreme pressure on IT responsiveness.
“When,” not “whether” - It isn’t about “whether” you’re going to
virtualize and transform your data center; it’s about “when” and “how.”
Fortunately you don’t have to wait. By using the combined strength of CWPS
partners - Cisco, NetApp, and VMware – you can deploy a virtualized
dynamic data center from the industry leaders in server, storage, and
network virtualization.
Data Center to Desktop - Get the results you need to help maintain
your competitive edge with an integrated, end-to-end solution like the
virtualized data centers deployed around the DC region and the world.
What’s driving this transition? Take a close look at the typical
gains:
Savings. Simplicity. Better Response - Find out how Virtualization
can transform your IT and benefit your business. Contact CWPS today at (877)

CWPS extends helping hand to
Global Human Rights Agency
International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that aids
victims of slavery, sexual exploitation, and other forms of violent
oppression from its offices in 12 countries.
IJM had been subscribed to a hosted VoIP solution, but felt constrained by the inability of the service
provider to deliver the features it needed. Feeling hemmed in, IJM called
CWPS.
CWPS installed a Cisco system at IJM’s Arlington, VA office − the Unified
Communications
Manager Business Edition with Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST).
CWPS protected IJM’s investment in 120 IP phones and Cisco
switches by homing them to the new premises UC system.
The SRST capability provides backup services so IP phones can fall
back to a remote site’s switch if connectivity to Arlington is lost.
SA-Announce software sends text and audio alerts to the IP
phones, enabling staff to respond faster to local emergencies. Now IJM can better respond when victims need assistance.
IJM also signed up for CWPS EncorePro – 24 x 7 proactive system monitoring and
tech support – to get peace of mind.
“The common perception that hosted VoIP solutions provide everything you
need at less cost did not prove to be the case for IJM,” said John Lax,
CIO of the International Justice Mission. “In fact, we found the hosted
solution very limiting. Fortunately, CWPS showed us a better way.”
