Introduction | 2006-12-18 | O'Reilly Media |
| For many computer enthusiasts, the phrase small form factor brings to mind cube-shaped systems about the same size as a stack of books. If one visits a site such as www.sfftech.com, one will see many such systems. These days they generally have a Pentium 4 or Athlon processor; a couple of hard drive bays; one or two PCI expansion slots; built-in audio, video, Ethernet, USB, FireWire; and more. They make great desktop replacements and are often used as "Media center" PCs. This paper takes the small-form-factor concept a few steps further to include the very wide range of small, general-purpose computer systems now available to individual consumers. | |||

Standard Operating Environment Gives New South Wales Schools a Competitive Edge | 2006-12-15 01:00:19 | Microsoft |
| The New South Wales Department of Education and Training provides educational services to 1.2 million students at 2,600 schools and Technical And Further Education (TAFE) colleges across the state. It manages a fleet of around 160,000 desktop PCs that comprises many different models from a variety of vendors. This makes maintaining a Standard Operating Environment (SOE) difficult because the Department needs to build and constantly update more than 100 separate images. The Department ran a proof of concept project using Microsoft Windows Vista on desktop PCs at a selected Sydney high school. This pilot project demonstrated the savings the Department could achieve by slashing the number of SOE images it needed to maintain and reducing the management and support effort required. | |||
