The Grove

Think of The Grove as our home that we share with you. It can be your in-house ICT learning suite; there for when you need it but without the expensive overhead.
Running the latest in virtual technology, Ripped Orange can replicate your IT environment and even better, you are welcome to bring your own facilitator and Apple Macs.
Your Personal Grove
This is you making The Grove your organisation’s very own technology learning environment. We run VMWare so our learning PCs can reflect your IT environment. What we do is develop an image with you and retain it for your tailored IT training programmes. This is the optimum solution when you want to work with a group from your own organisation in your environment and do not want to carry the expensive overhead of an ICT learning suite.
Mobile Grove
The Grove is mobile and for good reason. For an ICT learning suite to be available in every centre throughout New Zealand it simply did not make economic sense. But there is a real need for all New Zealanders and businesses to be able to access quality ICT knowledge. So we can bring The Grove to you, we pack it up and bring our kit and our IP to your location.
Don’t limit yourself
If you want to customise The Grove then don’t limit yourself. Think outside of the circle (pun intended). There is such a selection of operating platforms, office suites, document management systems, email server environments etc. You are only limited by your imagination; here are some of the examples:-
- Microsoft Windows, Linux, Novell NetWare, Sun Solaris and VMware ESX…
- Microsoft, OpenOffice, WordPerfect OFFICE X5…
- Microsoft SharePoint, Docushare, Microsoft Exchange, hMailServer and IceWarp
- Or for those of you embracing The Cloud, Google Apps, Xero, and so many more…
Bring your own
We appreciate from time to time you will need to use your own facilitator or trainer and you can even bring your Apple Macs. The Grove really can be your total IT learning environment.
