Going Green Without Sliding Into The Red

March 28, 2012—Anaheim Hills, CA—IronOrbit, a leading cloud-based solutions and IT hosting provider, recently provided fully-integrated IT infrastructures to the tenants of SuitesPro, the eco-friendly executive suites firm. SuitesPro, which builds and leases “green” office suites to small businesses and independent professional, converted a 2,000 sq. ft. complex into Anaheim Hills’s first LEED-certified property of 9 beautifully-furnished private offices employing natural and solar lighting and intuitive conservation of water and electricity. SuitesPro’s fundamental concept was to offer fully-integrated IT services for their entire Anaheim Hills complex. onthenetOffice fulfilled SuitesPro’s unique IT requirements by providing a complete, customized virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI).

SuitesPro CEO Alexander Saca commented, “We wanted our new tenants to possess immediate, first-day access to the Internet, data storage, hosted desktop and a flexible VoIP telephone system. Our IT infrastructure needed to be capable of quickly and painlessly integrating new users and connections and handling heavy workloads throughout the day. As promised, onthenetOffice provided day-one integrated IT services to all of SuitesPro’s tenants and relieved SuitesPro from large capital expenditures on desktops, servers and networking equipment, unpredictable IT costs, and the headaches of managing and supporting all of the systems involved.”

Virtualized desktops provide for the same appearance and capabilities of a standard workstation but are available from anywhere in the world. Unlike a conventional “standard” desktop, these desktops are professionally managed, maintained and backed-up to ensure maximum business efficiency for its user. A virtual desktop is accessible to its owner from any web-enabled device. The onthenetOffice VDI solution for SuitesPro eliminates the need for on-site hardware or IT management. onthenetOffice’ s desktop virtualization increases efficiency, reduces costs, and improves data security.

VDI powered by onthenetOffice enabled SuitesPro to:

• Scale up or scale down its infrastructure according the exact amount of users, connections, and storage required for each tenant

• Easily migrate or remove the infrastructure services of a vacating tenant

• Not purchase, maintain or continually replace costly on-site IT hardware

SuitesPro CEO Alexander Saca added, “With LEED-certified construction processes, SuitesPro reduced its energy usage by 27%, its water usage by 48%, and construction material waste by 90%. We added an additional 30-77% reduction in energy consumption by selecting onthenetOffice’s hosted solutions over an on-site IT infrastructure. All at once, SuitesPro achieved greater IT efficiency, lowered its expenses, and maintained its status as an elite provider of environmentally-friendly executive suites. The synergy between onthenetOffice and SuitesPro clearly demonstrates that going ‘green’ doesn’t have to involve sliding into the red.”
