As concerns about data security and the availability of assets continue to grow, IT managers are increasingly using data center consolidation as an effective strategy for dealing with remote offices and users.

“It's easy to see why,” said Bill Thompson, VP of NSI. “There's one single point of administration and great economies of scale."

For example, many organizations are using Citrix MetaFrame to accomplish their centralized management of remote users. The users simply log on to a Citrix thin client from virtually any Internet-connected device to remotely access their applications. Literally hundreds of concurrent connections can be supported with ease.

Backing up the network is easy because users are connecting to centralized servers, and configuration and application issues can be easily resolved with remote tools.

"Centralization has proven to be more easily secured and supported," Thompson said.
