MyRiAD multi-user computing environment – reduces cost and carbon footprint.

The new MyRiAD system which has been designed by Progress DMS Ltd engineers, enables businesses to replace antiquated computer equipment with newer updated technology at very affordable prices. This technology can be deployed very quickly in a busy environment with very little disruption to the business. The MyRiAD system can be deployed in various combinations of 4-user, 7-user, 10-user or 30-user configurations providing flexibility in how and where it can be utilized. MyRiAD makes use of cutting-edge technology enabling the deployment of virtual desktop computer PODS whilst only deploying a single physical computer unit as shown in the picture below. There are many benefits to deploying such a system, these include the reduction in the physical footprint of the equipment implemented in a business as well as improving security to business data by removing localized access to media such as USB memory devices and CD/DVD drives where employees may be inclined to install rogue software or perhaps copy sensitive company information.

Many businesses are very conscious of opportunities to reduce running costs for their systems and this system presents such an opportunity as it reduces the quantity of computer units deployed within the company and which could reduce electricity costs by up to 85%. A cost reduction in this area could mean saving literally thousands of pounds a year.

MyRiad 7 user deployment complete deployment with onsite installation (excludes cabling and travel costs where appropriate)      £ 3599.00 excl VAT

Typical 7 user desktop computers without onsite installation (excludes cabling and travel costs where appropriate)                    £ 4900.00 excl VAT

Initial Cost Saving                £ 1301.00

Running Costs – Actual Electricity Cost based on 11p per KWh used
This illustration makes the assumption that the computers are left on 24 hours a day as this is the case in many businesses where users fail to switch off their equipment before leaving the office.

MyRiAD 7 user running costs per year: £   286.16
Carbon Footprint            1244.16 kgs of CO2 per year

Typical 7 user desktop computers running costs per year: £ 2003.10
Carbon Footprint            8709.12 kgs of CO2 per year

First year cost saving          £ 1716.94                    

Carbon footprint reduction of 85.7%

This example shows an 85.7% cost reduction in Electricity !!!
