Hospital Takes Holistic Approach to Windows Desktop Management | 2005-09-23 03:00:03 | |
| The Children's Hospital of Denver (Children's) is a private, not-for-profit pediatric health-care network that is 100 percent dedicated to caring for kids. From medical breakthroughs to late-night fevers, Children's provides complete pediatric care at its main campus and through a network that includes five community-based after-hour care sites, eight specialty-care centers, and several hundred outreach clinics held in three states each year. Providing a central means for the geographically dispersed sites and remote employees with access to centralized data and managing the numerous associated workstations, was a daunting challenge. To enable Children's system administrators to centrally manage the permissions and applications of all of their Citrix user accounts and to easily generate usage reports, 3t immediately looked to PowerFuse from RES (Real Enterprise Solutions). | |||

Japanese Systems Integrator Builds Business With Uniface | 2005-09-20 03:00:07 | Compuware |
| NTT Data Business Brains offers software system development and consulting, product development, website design and operations to a range of corporate customers in Japan. Its vision of providing top-quality software solutions led it to adopt Compuware Uniface for a major portion of its development work. The Java Thin-client interface for Uniface, Uniface JTi, allows customers to bring client-server applications to the web without rewriting code. It significantly reduces time to market and development costs and simplifies the administration and management of business-critical Uniface applications because there is no software distribution to individual clients. | |||

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. | |||

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 | 0000-00-00 | 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.

Sun Case Study: PepsiCo Snacks | 0000-00-00 | Sun Microsystems |
| PepsiCo, Inc., is one of the world's most successful consumer products companies with 116,000 employees, and revenues of over $20 billion in 1999. When PepsiCo Snacks Argentina, (a division of Frito-Lay Argentina) upgraded from a client/server model to a web-based architecture, it chose Tarantella Enterprise II over Citrix MetaFrame for application deployment. The company had been using the Citrix product, but found that Tarantella Enterprise II provided centralized management, better performance, and didn't require additional software on any of their client devices. Tarantella Enterprise II web-enabling software is now a key component of PepsiCo's Latin American operations.
