January 15, 2012

Switch to the Cloud Offers Greater Flexibility and Security at a Lower Cost


Philadelphia, PA—[January, 15 2012]—
Infradapt, LLC. a leading provider of communications and network infrastructure solutions, announced today that it has been retained by Lower Gwynedd-based steel plate specialists Chapel Steel to implement Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, allowing the company greater control over critical data, with the additional benefit of easier manageability at a lower cost.

Chapel Steel is a steel plate distributor and service center with headquarters in suburban Philadelphia, and five additional offices in the United States and Canada. The company has been using IT infrastructure expertise from Infradapt for more than 10 years, including it Terminal Server infrastructure which allowed the company to achieve greater control over critical data. Over time the approach required the company to buy more bandwidth, invest in more hardware, and grow its data center to serve remote locations around the U.S.

Infradapt demonstrated to Chapel Steel the capabilities of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Infradapt outlined the value of deploying resources from an existing private cloud architecture rather than expanding the existing headquarters infrastructure or building a data center. This approach  allowed Chapel Steel to upgrade to the latest software solution and achieve greater performance, increased desktop customization as well as more,  security, and  control; for a lower cost than the pre-existing alternative.
“With Virtual Desktops, we are able to achieve greater desktop flexibility for users needing applications beyond the standard Terminal Server experience, while still maintaining control over the desktop and cost controls,” explains Chapel Steel Chief Operating Officer Pat Jones.

One of the most central features of the company’s relationship with Infradapt is their high level of knowledge, skill, responsiveness, and customer service. Jones explains that the availability and approachability of Infradapt’s Partners is a major benefit and something not found with larger firms.

“Infradapt is not afraid to work hard, and really understands customer service, which is central to,” says Jones. “Large IT houses would say their clients could get them on the phone at any time; in reality we could not. With Infradapt we could get the Infradapt decision makers on the phone if needed—day or night. Infradapt has proven to be responsive, and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
