Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Just thought I would share with you a nice pic of 6 shiney new Mac Pros & 2 Imacs that were being tested prior to installation last week.
We recently refurbished our workshop adding 3 TFT wall mounted monitors all connected to KVM monitor/ keyboard switches.
As Regular clients will know, we preinstall all RAM and expansion cards, then put each Mac through a comprehensive looped diagnostic to ensure our engineers are not met with faulty machines during the installation process.

Parallels Desktop 4.0 Build 3844 released
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Parallels annouced today an update to their excellent Parallels Desktop Software. This software enables you to run multiple virtual machines on your Intel powered Mac. This has been great for training or lab testing environments, previously we’d have several machines, such as a Mac OS X Server, a Windows 2003 Server Windows XP/ Vista client and Mac OS Client all setup. Now we just need to deploy a single machine with that can run all these Operating systems simultaneously. & using the Template deployment ro snapshotting feature its easy to reset for the next class, or revert back to a previous system state when somethings gone wrong.
Parallels also has a Server product meaning you can run multiple Server OS’s on a single Mac OS based computer, this is really useful when there is a windows server requirment within a Mac environment.
