By Editor7

Flamingus is a new generation IT consulting company based out of Dubai. It has expertise in virtualization solutions, mainly application and Desktop virtualization. Biju Chacko, MD, Flamingus Technologies FZE speaks about some focus areas and partnerships it is associated with
Discuss the major market and Technology domains that Flamingus focuses on as a consulting company?
Flamingus Technologies as a company focuses mainly around vitualization and cloud computing consulting and solutions. We are a Microsoft Partner, Citrix Partner, CloudProject partner and VMware Authorized Consultant. In addition, we have also established relationships with many other top tier vendors including Veeam and Manage Engine.
We specialize in helping customers create a private cloud using server and desktop virtualization, thus enabling IT departments to offer Software and IT As a Service to their internal users. We provide best in class Virtualization consulting services that can help save companies from having to pay extra power and maintenance expenses. There can also be cost savings in facility overheads. Company employees can work from the comfort of their home or office, or wherever they may happen to be. And perhaps most importantly, money can be saved by reducing the cost of expensive computers and office equipment.
Discuss the markets and verticals you focus on?
We have provided IT solutions and services to customers of all sizes across all verticals from the beginning. While our corporate office is in Dubai and most of our business are in the Middle East region. However, we have provided services on a worldwide basis.
We cross train our technical team members to know the strengths and weaknesses of all the different vendor solutions. We will always recommend what is best for our customers without having bias towards any vendor.
Our extensive experience, vendor relationships, and a proven track record provide a solid foundation for our on-going success and growth. This allows us to thrive in a sometimes unforgiving economy and meet our commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices, while providing a core group of services
Discuss your virtualization services in detail
Our consulting services covers the whole gamut around enabling virtualization. This includes Server Virtualization, Application Virtualization and Application Virtualization. Server Virtualization services are a component to the general virtualization strategy within the IT enterprise, which works in tandem with network virtualization services, desktop virtualization services, cloud computing and more. Application virtualization is software technology that encapsulates application software from the underlying operating system on which it is executed. Desktop virtualization means running many machines in a datacenter on a hypervisor. For server, desktop and application virtualization, we provide solutions from Microsoft, VMware and Citrix.
We also provide Virtualization Management, Monitoring and Backup solutions from Veeam
As a partner for Citrix, there is also a significant focus on consulting for Thin client computing. Thin client devices help reduce operations costs in terms of managing hardware and software for end points.
We provide a solution to manage virtualized desktops, virtualized servers, terminal servers (with or without Citrix XenApp) and physical systems to provide an end-to-end view of the environment. This also supports the complete range of deployments, from physical environments to partially/fully virtualized environments, to cloud computing.
In addition, as a Citrix partner, we also do auditing of existing Citrix infrastructure and recommend improvements.
Do you see a growing demand for virtualization and cloud computing solutions?
Yes, we are witnessing a growing demand for virtualization and cloud computing solutions. Analysts forecast the Global Server Virtualization market to grow at a rate of 31 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need for better productivity of enterprise servers. The Global Server Virtualization market has also been witnessing the reduced downtime of end-user systems. However, the need for huge initial capital investment is reducing the adoption among SMEs which could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
Besides cloud and virtualization, do you also focus on physical infrastructural deployments and consulting?
Apart from virtualization, in terms of physical, we focus on Lakeside Systrack based tools to analyze physical devices and resolve issues. We also provide solutions for helpdesk management and network monitoring.
What is the cloud computing portfolio of the company? Please elaborate
We provide consulting solutions for organizations to move to cloud seamlessly. We recommend suitable hosting providers. As Amazon Web Services partner, we are keen to develop cloud infrastructure based on AWS in this region. We also recommend Office 365 based could based E-mail solutions.
You focus on Citrix solutions; do you also have a focus on other Virtualisation platforms?
Server virtualization solutions from VMware is a key area of growth for us. Also, Veeam helps customers to manage data on virtual environments.
Discuss your association with Cloud Project. What does Cloud Project focus on?
We are a partner for CloudProject in the region. Cloud Project provides a rethinking of the VDI concept through its devices, i.e. exploit the power of the CloudProject devices to carry over the most common tasks that do not require a full client environment or are better suited to run on the CloudProjectt client, and resort to a Virtual Desktop only when really needed, substantially reducing the hidden costs of a traditional VDI solution.
Cloudproject pocket key devices can be as small as a USB stick, inside them there’s enough CPU power and memory (up to 4 cores ARM Cortex A9 1.6GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM) to run natively a concurrent number of Android applications. Legacy applications are fully supported to run with legacy VDI clients (VMware View, Citrix Receiver, Microsoft RDS). They have wired Ethernet connectivity as well as WiFi 802.11b/g/n (up to 300 mbps). With their Mali400MP GPU, they are also perfectly suitable for running multimedia applications up to 1080p resolution with extreme smoothness and fluidity. They are a unique key enabling technology to achieve a real ROI in a VDI project.
CloudProject devices have been designed using the latest Smartphone & tablet technologies in order to reduce power consumption and to provide the best performance under all conditions. Compared to traditional Thin Client solutions, which very often require costly adjustments to the Company network and server infrastructure that lower the TCO of the VDI project, CloudProject devices do not require any changes to the network and can reduce the needs in terms of the number of Virtual Desktops in the Datacenter.
