Key Business Benefits

Your data network is like the veins and arteries in your body – one clog can be fatal. Carousel provides an array of products and services designed to keep the information flowing – day and night.

Easy Collaboration – Users can easily share information and applications between desktops, laptops and handheld devices, facilitating information flow and management. Users typically collaborate around content, and making sure the content is just as available as the communications mechanisms is often overlooked. Carousel takes a blended approach, ensuring appropriate levels of bandwidth and other resources are available for both types of data.

Ubiquitous Access – Cloud-based design gives users and administrators ubiquitous access to resources such as printers, servers, hardware and other subscribers. Global access to centralized resources is important as we come to realize that maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to have all that gear in those small branches.

Enterprise-Wide Visibility and Management – Network Administrators have a bird’s eye view from a physical and logical perspective, streamlining resource administration, monitoring and management. More than ever, a centrally located group of engineers can manage, administer, monitor and respond to troubles that emanate from a diverse global network.

Data Security and Management – Centralized servers can host corporate data to be accessed by approved network users. Data can also be backed up on a regular basis. Centralization of bulk storage optimizes allocation of drive space and allows for an overall reduction in the amount of data stored by eliminating redundant documents, messages, and other content.

Reporting Capabilities – Network Administrators have access to centralized logs reflecting enterprise-wide activity. Reporting on usage of applications and other network resources from a centralized location allows for one-stop reporting on a user’s use patterns and needs across the organization’s network.

Remote Accessibility – One of the greatest challenges facing businesses today is to provide remote access to communications capabilities, applications and related data while managing to simultaneously shore up compliance with PCI, HIPAA, and other applicable requirements.

Enhanced Security – Secure VPN technology provides an extra level of security for remote users. Some applications can be made to work remotely, securely, and without a VPN. Some businesses find SSL-based VPNs work best. Some businesses are attempting to allow users to work from home, some enabling a mobile workforce, others connecting remote sites or partners, vendors or customers. Whatever the need, there is a VPN solution that will allow cost effective, secure remote access to only those pieces of your data that are relevant, all the while logging who accesses what, from where, and why.

Smarter Resource Allocation – Administrators have control over user access, privacy and administrative privileges. Now the enterprise can decide which workstations users can log in to, what other resources are accessible from that workstation, and what other types of content are available. The administrator has full control over all aspects of the user experience including what applications the user can use and the appearance of the workstation itself.
