IaaS – Download Windows Remote Desktop Shortcut file is unavailable in vCloud Director 1.5.x

When trying to use the “Download Windows Remote Desktop Shortcut File” option within vCloud Director, it might be grayed out (unavailable).

The resolution is to select the Virtual Machine from the vApp Diagram and the link should become available.

Lewan Data Protection is a good thing for our customers

Data protection and disaster recovery is a pain for any IT organization to deal with. At Lewan we’ve developed an agent-less backup service with a local appliance to speed local backup and recovery processes and the data is then replicated to two more offsite data centers to keep your data safe over distance as well. We monitor, manage the services and even perform the restores for you. That’s full service! To learn more visit http://www.lewan.com/FullService360

Lewan Capabilities Overview

Lewan is Dell’s Partner of the Year!

The annual awards honor Dell partners for delivering exemplary solutions for their customers during the past year, and guess what?  Lewan is Dell’s Partner of the Year! We often tell customers and prospects of our expertise with Dell hardware and software solutions but I’m guessing most of them just think that’s a sales pitch, it’s not, it’s a fact.

I’m excited to have received this recognition directly from Dell…more confirmation of what we already know…we’re really good at this stuff!
