Cost Optimisation

Reduce IT Costs

Cut endpoint infrastructure spend by up to 40% without compromising performance or security. Distilogix helps GCC enterprises eliminate hardware bloat, consolidate management overhead, and migrate to leaner, cloud-ready workspaces. Our curated stack of Liquidware, ThinClient Direct, 10ZIG, and Vembu tools delivers measurable savings within months, not years — backed by over 50 enterprise deployments across the GCC.

"We were spending AED 3,200 per seat per year on hardware refresh cycles alone — before licensing, before support, before helpdesk. There had to be a better way."

How We Work

How We Reduce Your IT Costs

1

Baseline Your Full TCO

We deploy Liquidware Stratusphere UX in read-only mode to inventory every endpoint, VM, and licensed application. Most organisations discover 20–30% hidden waste: over-provisioned VMs, unused software licences, and hardware running at a fraction of capacity.

2

Quantify the Opportunity

We produce a cost baseline report that maps your current spend across hardware, licensing, management labour, helpdesk tickets, and energy. We then model what a leaner architecture would cost — giving you the business case before you spend a pound.

3

Design the Target Architecture

Based on your workload profile and user segmentation, we design the right combination: which users can move to thin clients, which VMs can be rightsized, which applications can be layered with FlexApp, and where Vembu can replace expensive legacy backup.

4

Profile Management Deployment

Liquidware ProfileUnity decouples user profiles from the physical device and OS. Users get the same experience on a £150 thin client as on a £1,200 PC. Device lifespan extends by 3–5 years with no re-imaging.

5

Workspace Rightsizing

Stratusphere UX continuously monitors VM utilisation and recommends rightsizing. A typical GCC enterprise over-provisions VMs by 25–35% at initial deployment. We recover that capacity without touching production systems.

6

Thin Client Hardware Refresh

Where physical endpoints need replacing, ThinClient Direct and 10ZIG provide hardware at significantly lower cost than equivalent PCs, with longer lifecycle and lower maintenance overhead.

7

Backup Cost Reduction

Vembu BDR Suite replaces fragmented, expensive legacy backup with a single platform covering VMs, files, and applications. Licensing cost is typically 40–60% lower than incumbent solutions, with faster recovery times.

8

Ongoing Optimisation

Post-deployment, Stratusphere UX continues to monitor and flag drift. Quarterly reviews identify new rightsizing opportunities, licence waste, and hardware approaching end of productive life.

The Tools We Use

Purpose-Built Solutions in Our Stack

Liquidware ProfileUnity

Environment Management & Cost Control

Decouples user profiles and application layers from the OS, enabling hardware-agnostic deployments and eliminating the need for high-spec endpoints.

Customer Stories

Results From the Region

Government — UAE Ministry of Infrastructure
38% reduction in endpoint TCO within 12 months. Hardware refresh cycle for 4,000 seats eliminated. Endpoint management time reduced by 55%.
"Distilogix gave us a clear, phased path to rationalise our desktop estate without disrupting 4,000 users across 12 locations. The Liquidware tooling paid for itself in under a year — and the Vembu deployment replaced our legacy backup platform at half the cost."
Banking — Saudi Arabia Regional Bank
Hardware refresh cycle eliminated for 1,200 endpoints. AED 2.1M saved over 24 months.
"We extended our existing hardware by four years using ProfileUnity, then rolled out ThinClient Direct hardware for new joiners instead of full PCs. The total saving over two years funded two additional development headcount."
