Benefits of Remote Support

Available Anywhere, Anytime

So you're on a business trip to Chicago. Your internet connection works great but there is something wrong with your Outlook that is preventing you from connecting to your Exchange server. You can't get your messages and it will be days before you are back at the office where someone can troubleshoot the problem.

As a Kuhnline.com customer, you call your support agent directly. You describe the problem and launch the Remote Support Tool. Within 10 minutes, your computer is working and you are reading your emails.

Lower Cost for Everyone Involved

You avoid the extra costs associated with on-site visits, such as travel charges or minimum hour requirements.

You get same-day service in most cases, instead of waiting a day or two for a support agent to come to your office.

Our experience also puts us in a position to recommend products to you that we have seen used successfully in other organizations.

Virtualization with VMware

We are specialists in the implementation of VMware environments, from Workstation to ESXi. We can help you build a virtual environment that will save you real money in hardware and energy costs.

What is VMware?

VMware is software that allows you to run several independant "virtual" servers on a single physical computer.

Server Consolidation

In the old days you had a separate computer for each network application because many applications don't play well with others. Over time, your server room is filled with several old machines, each performing one task and many are too unstable to be migrated to new hardware.

The solution - set up a single VMware Server with ample RAM and disk space. Convert each of your old servers to virtual machines completely in tact. They will perform much faster on the new hardware and saves time because you don't need to reinstall any software. Shut down your old servers and now you just have 1 vmware server running all of your applications.

Your server room is now much cooler without those old machines blasting out heat.

You just improved the performance of all your network applications and you only needed to purchase one server instead of 5.
