Reliable Technology and Low TCO at Hudson Park | 2007-02-09 15:38:36 | Hewlett-Packard |
| Increasingly, ICT is occupying a central role in education. The school had frequent problems in the past with unreliable technology. As use of IT increased, so the need to solve these problems became more urgent. The first steps towards a solution were taken when Hudson Park, acting on the recommendation of another local school, purchased its first HP ProLiant server. The reliability of this product impressed the school so much that over the following six years, it replaced its existing servers, desktop systems, laptops, printers, scanners and projectors with HP products. All three Labs have thin clients using HP Servers. Hudson Park started to use Web JetAdmin to manage its printers centrally, and it also plans to implement HP OpenView. | |||

Dexia Bank Invests in HP BladeSystem and Thin Client Technologies to Build "Branch of Tomorrow" | 2007-02-13 17:25:33 | Hewlett-Packard |
| Dexia Bank's old system was not meeting business needs. Each branch bank had one Dell server, along with PCs on desktops. Because the primary applications were running under UNIX on IBM computers in the data center, the "Heavy" branch office servers were underutilized. At the same time, operating and supporting them was complex and costly. With the Branch of Tomorrow project, Dexia consolidated its legacy client/server architecture into a centralized architecture based on 300 HP BladeSystem servers in the bank's data center and 6000 HP Thin Clients in its branches. The solution also incorporates Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server software 3.0, which provides local and remote users with secure access to virtualized client/server applications from any location, device, or connection. | |||

Envisioning the Future Topologies of Network Computing | 2004-11-11 03:00:01 | |
| Dr. Aaron Striegel, assistant professor of the University of Notre Dame's Computer Science and Engineering Department, uses a Grid Infrastructure from Sun Microsystems to research the characteristics of new computer network topologies and protocols. The challenge was to create a scalable Grid Computing infrastructure with the flexibility, availability, and capacity to handle abrupt increases in computational requirements and increase. Working with Sun, Striegel was able to utilize the Sun Infrastructure Solution for Grid Computing to provide for his group's current and future resource demands. Sun's Grid Infrastructure, managed by Grid Engine open source, gives the Striegel group a powerful computing solution. | |||

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR): Favoring Flexability in Facing a Security Challenge | 2005-07-12 03:00:02 | Sun Microsystems |
| SPAWAR's mission is to design and implement C4I systems, including FORCEnet, which are increasingly joint-use and interoperable. U.S. Naval forces, both ashore and afloat, had traditionally relied on legacy distributed systems. The problem is, these systems have inherent drawbacks: they encourage the formation of silos of information; they're not secure and subject to attack from viruses, worms, and internal and external hackers; their redundant telephony and data networks are expensive; and they're difficult to integrate and costly and complex to upgrade. Clearly, SPAWAR needed to head in another direction. In 2000, the Navy did a limited deployment of 54 Sun Ray ultra-thin clients aboard the USS Coronado, a support ship based out of San Diego. | |||

Compaq Computer Corporation Used Windows XP Embedded to Build a Thin Client Solution With Advanced Security | 2005-08-09 03:00:02 | |
| Compaq Computer Corporation provides thin client computing solutions that meet the demands for Fortune 1,000 companies and other organizations with sizable networks focused on transaction-based applications. Compaq sought to develop a thin client solution that offered an advanced user interface, booted directly to a Web browser, and had no moving parts. Moreover, it required an operating system with the capability to serve a network of up to 25,000 users. After investigating the Linux operating system and realizing that it fell short, Compaq selected Microsoft Windows XP Embedded in order to achieve its goal. | |||
