Steadfast IT Engineers Design Game Changing Enterprise-Level Cloud Services for SME Businesses

July 16, 2019

Chicago, IL - As IT software, infrastructure and services rapidity change, the typical focus for technology developers is to build for enterprise businesses at enterprise-level pricing. Meanwhile, the opportunities for SME’s to benefit from enterprise-level technologies can be limited. Steadfast recognizes this void and is driven to provide SMEs with the tools to help advance their IT strategy, adopting a more agile, secure and scalable network through the benefits of the Virtual Data Center (VDC). 

Steadfast VMware Virtual Data Center

Steadfast is proud to introduce the next generation of Simplicity Cloud™ Services on a VMware®-based Virtual Data Center platform.

Steadfast has taken a VDC platform, typically invested in by enterprise-level businesses, and molded a new service to help the SME space achieve enterprise-level cloud services. This new design eases implementation complexity and high infrastructure costs that typically hold back SMEs from capitalizing in this type of extended service. 

VDC is much more than simple cloud VM’s in that it also encompasses network management and network security. The benefits of cloud VMs are now extended to your entire network and security stack, allowing even greater scalability, flexibility, and control. It then provides one easy-to-manage interface for SME’s to virtually design best-fit networks according to company needs without stifling labor time and high costs when trying to develop around current infrastructure.

“We are utilizing our Simplicity Cloud Services to deliver a virtual data center solution that will bring benefits of VMware technology to small and medium businesses, an endeavor mainstream cloud providers are unable to achieve today. Our 20 years of passion to community businesses forged our promise to embrace companies that are ‘left behind’ in this technological whirlwind. Our entire staff upholds this passion.”, Karl Zimmerman, CEO and Founder.

SME’s can expect measurable outcomes through this VDC platform versus standard cloud VMs:

  • Rapidly Deploy New Networks: Delivering a whole new definition to scalability. SME Admins will have the freedom to dynamically change networks in minutes to accommodate ever-changing workload demands. 
  • Protect Network Integrity: Distributed firewalls greatly increases security and protect network integrity. 
  • Increase Accessibility: Helping SMEs with multiple divisions and administrators. VDC creates a private cloud environment that can be divided between multiple admins, preventing internal challenges of control and distribution of resources.
  • Infrastructure Savings:  With VDC SME’s benefit from the functionality of a full data center, without having to purchase server hardware or additional network components.
  • Improve Business Continuity, Simplify Disaster Recovery: A benefit that extends to other networks to secure redundancy, providing more peace of mind that data is safely contained. 

James Webb, Steadfast COO states, “The efficiency and security held within Simplicity Cloud, coupled with a VMware based software-defined data center, is a game-changer in IT planning and implementation for the small and medium enterprise space. Giving them the freedom to scale their IT platforms quickly, efficiently and securely to meet future demands and stay highly competitive.”
