Branch Server

Centralization is a key strategy for reducing IT costs and increasing efficiency at branches. But there are some applications that are so critical they need to remain local. Video applications, for example, are bandwidth intensive and cannot cost-effectively be delivered over the WAN and must also stay local. Branches typically either have a server for each application or put all their applications on one server—neither of which is ideal.

Hughes solves this problem with our new Hughes Branch Server. It creates an independent virtual machine for each application on one physical server, and unlike competitive solutions, it's a fully managed service, saving you time and money.

One server that acts like many

By collapsing all your servers onto one server and creating a virtual machine for each application, the Hughes Branch Server isolates applications from each other and gives you all these advantages:

Lower costs for equipment, facilities, energy and support
Less application downtime and faster recovery time
Faster deployment for new applications
Ability to evolve as your business demands change

"Branch of the Future" applications

Hughes Branch Server gives you the flexibility you need to meet your business needs. You can choose Hughes applications, run your own industry-specific applications, and add new applications as your business changes. So you have everything you need for the "Branch of the Future."

Fully managed to free up your resources

Unlike standalone do-it-yourself solutions, Hughes installs, maintains and manages the branch server platform, so you can spend more time on your business instead of dealing with your technology. We combined our more than thirty years of experience and our unparalleled engineering expertise to bring the benefits of virtualization to branch sites in a fully managed, affordable, easy-to-deploy, turnkey solution.
