5 April 2008 Launch of VITAL thin client With the BETA stage of our VITAL ‘thin client’ solution currently underway, the feedback from trial customers has been good. Clients authenticate through an Internet browser and are then given access to a ‘virtual’ desktop. The virtual desktop includes access to Microsoft Office 2007 over the Internet as well as a connection to company network drives and email. This service is aimed at companies that have small satellite offices, where they want to minimise the capital spend on IT and have very short timeframes to implement. VITAL thin client is also a remote access solution for VITAL, allowing users to access corporate data when away from the office. The solution also enhances data security as users leave nothing behind e.g. working in an Internet cafe. The service is due to go live July of this year 15 February 2008 MBD's new Layer 3 VPN service Remote access to company servers using a managed laptop has just got easier and more secure, through the release of our new Layer 3 VPN service. Based on the Secure Socket Layer(SSL) protocol, the solution gives remote VITAL laptop users an effective and reliable means of creating a connection back to their offices. The service is underpinned by redundant Array Network boxes integrated into the VITAL network at the datacentre and does not require any software on the client’s laptop to make the connection. The lower support overhead, whilst undeniably good for us, is very good for you too! 10 January 2008 MBD leads the way in managed mail services MBD Solutions has successfully delivered to the marketplace an upgraded managed mail service based on Microsoft Exchange 2007. While the vast majority of other hosted exchange providers are still providing services on the 2003 platform, MBD has upgraded its service and migrated the existing customer base onto the new platform. With a much enhanced user experience, the platform also gives greater scalability of memory and cache compared to the limitations of 2003. Remote email users also have access to a much improved web outlook service that re-creates the look and feel of the MS Outlook client. MBD rolls out VITAL Manager to clients VITAL is the fully managed service enjoyed by clients both in the UK and Internationally. Through VITAL MBD takes full responsibility for our clients IT systems, providing a Corporate style environment to the SME sector. VITAL Manager allows the main contact person (Single Point of Contact) at each client to manage some of the basic IT functions themselves. VITAL Manager allows non technical personnel to create new users, change passwords, add / allocate email addresses, and enables clients to help themselves – if they wish. The choice is theirs and MBD is happy to provide the tools to support those clients wishing to take a more active role in their IT environment, without the need to have specialist skills or training. This is another step towards VITAL providing the complete IT support environment to start ups, growing companies and multi office organisations. For more information please email. vitalmanager@mbdsolutions.com MBD obtains 82% of business through referrals MBD is pleased to announce that over 80% of our new business in the last year came from client and partner referrals. This is a wonderful testament to the quality of our services and the VITAL service in particular. Additional sources of business were from Google and Microsoft web sites and other marketing activities. We believe that referrals from happy clients will continue to be the main source of new business business in the future. If you know of a business suffering from poor IT Support Services then call or mail us now for further information. referrals@mbdsolutions.com 10 October 2007 MBD offers free audit With Microsoft sending out investigators to check software licences at UK businesses, MBD is pleased to offer London based companies a free hardware and software audit.
