VESK Host Citrix XenServer User Group

VESK’s Technical Director is re-appointed as the Chairman of the Citrix XenServer UK User Group for a second year running .

The point of the User Group is to focus on real life users of Citrix XenServer to see how the product can be improved and to create a community around the product to help test beta versions, report bugs and work through any other problems or ideas with Citrix and its end users.

“We requested virtual desktops and application delivery via VESK’s G-Cloud offering. The services are as described on the G-Cloud website, have been easy and cost effective to setup, support has been fast and efficient, and requests for changes have taken hours rather than weeks. Its exactly what is expected of a cloud based service.”

Andrew Wood

Department for Business Innovation & Skills

“As a small business with no space for servers, this is definitely the way forward and I have no hesitation in recommending VESK to any organisation. Thanks for all your support and long may you continue being head and shoulders above any other IT company”

Jason Blayne

TandT Recruitment

“A very co-operative and a friendly team to work with who thoroughly understand their client’s requirement and provide services accordingly. I’m highly satisfied with the help and support that VESK has provided me”

Chris Kent

Stern Advisory Group

“VESK matches our company ambitions: to deliver the best services to staff and scale quickly to meet the growing needs of customers”

Mark Cameron

“One of the biggest benefits of VESK is that our staff can check emails 24/7 enabling them to effectively work from home which is not only beneficial for them but also for our Clients.”

Stewart Stocker

Lauriston Saggar

“The Foundation Trust Network are happy they made the right decision with hosted virtual desktops, and specifically VESK”

Robert Dobell

“There have been articles debating the virtues of going down the path we have (cloud) with the consensus being lets wait until its all be proven beyond doubt to have the benefits claimed. They should speak to me because the benefits derived are obvious once you’ve taken the initial step.”
