thepickle.com: Empowering the IT Environment with Virtualization

Back in the day when Microsoft announced the end to Small Business Server, small companies stood in a fix, frustrated with having to make more technology decisions while implementing, maintaining systems, and learning best practice. With the scenario changing at the speed of light, the gap between one person wearing multiple hats and needing an IT expert has been expanding along with the need for solutions that would last for more than three years and would grow with the company, without being a constant source of concern. This market gap rolled out an opportunity that perfectly suited the goals of IL-based thepickle.com to offer always-on, always up-to-date, secure, and access-anywhere solution, in a cost-effective fashion. The firm stands a step ahead in the landscape with a vision to enable small and mid-market companies to utilize the same IT services and expertise that Fortune 500 companies do, without the hassle, internal overhead, and most importantly the cost.

thepickle.com opened its doors in 2007 with an intent of providing innovative IT solutions to the SMB market with a portfolio laser-focused on virtualization, managed services, and network support. Over the years, the firm evolved and engaged with an array of businesses to design solutions that fit their unique virtualization requirements. “We give them a variety of options and work together to determine what works best. We create solutions specific to the needs of each business and call this approach ‘IT-outside the box,’” explains Dawn Beutjer, Sr. Project Engineer, thepickle. com. Partnering with a client typically starts with a visit to the client site to analyze the existing infrastructure and identify their requirements. After collecting a detailed set of information, thepickle.com provides the client with a report that includes the analysis data and the suggested solutions that can be implemented in their business.

The company virtualization services are spearheaded by VMware’s cloud, colocation, and physical-to-virtual conversion technology that allow rapid deployment and on-boarding.
