23 June 2011

Following ongoing investment in VMware sales and technical training, System Professional has achieved the VMware Academic Specialisation. This recognition follows a number of successful VMware server and desktop virtualisation deployments by System Professional's technical team.

With a wealth of experience in successfully delivering leading VMware solutions to the Educational sector, System Professional has access to unique Academic SKUs, market specific pricing, as well as strategic Educational market information directly relevant to Schools and Colleges.

Chris Moss, System Professional's Marketing Director explained that "This Specialisation distinguishes System Professional based on our expertise in the Academic sector and proven track record of successfully delivering VMware vSphere server virtualisation and VMware View desktop virtualisation solutions into Educational organisations. Our consultative approach, technical knowledge and ongoing VMware support services have been commended and enabled us to grow an expanding customer base across the Academic sector."

Recent Gartner forecasts indicate that by 2014 deployment of virtualisation technologies in Higher Education will reduce desktop support costs by 20%. Furthermore, by 2015 local education authorities will be able to reduce school construction costs by 50% through virtualisation of their existing learning environments.

System Professional's VMware Clients covers a number of Colleges of FE/HE, State and Independent Schools, including The School of Pharmacy, Ashcombe School, Barnfield College, Farnborough College of Technology, Sussex Coast College, The Towers Convent School and Brentwood School.
