Citrix Systems Case Study: Maruti Udyog Limited 2005-01-25 04:21:39 Citrix Systems

Maruti is the highest volume car manufacturer in Asia, outside Japan and Korea. The issues, which carried across the 1,000-strong client network, included manageability of desktop inventory, software installations and upgrades, anti-virus measures, back-up of data on client hard drives and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reduction efforts. In partnership with HP, a global Citrix Business Alliance Partner, MUL implemented Citrix MetaFrame XP Presentation Server and Microsoft Windows 2000 on three Load Balanced HP Proliant Servers DL80, HP - T1010 thin clients and Windows-based PCs. A major benefit for network users is their new-found ability to log in to the network from any device and gain full access to their own desktop environment.

Citrix Systems Case Study: Casella Waste Systems, Inc. 2005-01-25 04:14:06 Citrix Systems

Casella Waste Systems, Inc provides integrated solid waste services to commercial, industrial, and residential customers primarily in the northeastern U.S. The challenge was integrating IT for rapid-fire acquisitions. It implemented a company-wide IT infrastructure using Citrix MetaFrame with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition software, Lotus Notes, and Lotus Domino, IBM Thin Client 2200s and IBM laptops. MetaFrame's centralized application deployment capabilities have made it possible for Hubbard and his team to quickly and centrally deploy Lotus Notes e-mail, calendaring, and scheduling capabilities to all employees, thereby enhancing communications and improving productivity.

Neoware Systems Case Study: Air Canada 2005-01-25 03:38:04 Neoware Systems

Previously, Air Canada relied on an aging technology infrastructure based on multiple communication standards and limited green-screen terminals that were not upgradeable. Air Canada has standardized on Neoware thin client appliances at its passenger, cargo and operational facilities, as well as reservation centers in North America, Europe and Asia. The deployment allows Air Canada to replace an aging architecture of green-screen terminals with faster, more reliable desktops provided by Neoware's thin client appliances. The flexibility and upgradeability of Neoware thin client appliances allow for constant service improvements.

Neoware Systems Case Study: University of North Carolina Health System 2005-01-25 03:27:22 Neoware Systems

The University of North Carolina (UNC) Health Care System has standardized on Neoware's thin client appliances. UNC Health Care System is replacing an aging network of PCs with Neoware thin client appliances and software at nurses' stations, emergency rooms, patient care areas, clinics and doctor's offices throughout the health care system, which serves Chapel Hill and the surrounding communities. In addition to the lower upfront costs of thin clients, the longer useful lifespan and reduced administration cost allow UNC Health Care System to contain costs now and well into the future, while providing the security required by the federally mandated HIPAA standards for protecting patient privacy.

Neoware Systems Case Study: Citizens Bank 2005-01-25 03:32:47 Neoware Systems

Citizens & Northern Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens & Northern Corporation. Citizens chose Neoware over other thin client solutions because of the ease of use and cost-effectiveness of the ezRemote Manager software. Citizens & Northern Bank deployed Neoware's centrally managed thin client appliances to simplify administration of the technology resources at its full-service locations across northeastern Pennsylvania. Neoware's thin client appliances and ezRemote Manager software enabled Citizens to centrally manage desktops and upgrade users in its branch locations with the latest productivity features.

Centre Hospitalier du Kirchberg: Patient-Oriented Medical Care Using Thin Clients 2005-01-25 03:13:34 Citrix Systems

In 1992, the Sacre-Coeur Hospital and the Saint Elisabeth Hospital decided to merge into a new, patient-oriented hospital. This decision led to the Centre Hospitalier Kirchberg, a modern building complex in the city of Luxembourg, which opened its doors on July 4, 2003. The hospital was a 24 x 7 institution and needed an infrastructure to support this. The hospital approached Telindus, a Gold Citrix Solution Advisor, to design and implement an access infrastructure. Together with Telindus, the hospital IT team built a Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server farm physically divided between in two separate data centers, thus creating a redundant environment for 300 concurrent users.

How Motorola Deployed an RDP-Only Thin Client Solution 2005-01-25 02:44:16 Thin Client Computing

SPS is Motorola's semiconductor design and manufacturing division; according to Motorola, the 15,000 SPS employees represent about one-tenth of the company's employees worldwide. The division's Bipolar Manufacturing Complex (BMC) is a set of factories on three sites in and around Mesa, Arizona. PC's aren't the best clients for the SPS factory floors. So when implementing a thin-client solution for its manufacturing plants, Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector (SPS) broke with convention and chose a less expensive and more modular option: Network Computing Devices' (NCD's) ThinPATH suite of WTS helper software.

Tidal Software Uses Go-Global for Smooth Sailing Over the Internet 2005-01-19 03:00:01 GraphOn

Based in Mountain View, California, Tidal Software provides software products that ensure applications run at peak efficiency and return the business value that its customers need to be successful. Tidal Software needed a way to quickly Web-enable its flagship Enterprise Scheduler software solution. With GO-Global, Tidal Software customers can now access Enterprise Scheduler from any location over any connection. The results were saving time and money by eliminating the need to develop a native Web-based version, providing instant Web-enabled access, even over low-speed dial-up lines and maintaining the familiar look and feel of Enterprise Scheduler from any Web browser.

Graphon Has the Right Prescription for Fastrack Healthcare Systems 2005-01-19 03:00:01 GraphOn

FASTRACK Healthcare Systems is an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) based in Plainview, NY. FASTRACK needed an easy and efficient way to Web-enable its suite of applications for the home healthcare industry. The company selected GO-Global for Windows, an advanced, server-based computing solution that provides near-zero-footprint clients for fast, simple and affordable application access from any location or platform. The results were that it provided FASTRACK customers with efficient remote access to server-based applications, allowed FASTRACK to offer their software on an application Service Provider (ASP) basis, allowed FASTRACK sales and support staff to perform online demos, and to access CRM and help desk applications from any location.

Healthcare Services Provider Saves Time and Money With Thin-Client Application Publishing From Graphon 2005-01-19 03:00:01 GraphOn

NHS Trust provides mental health and substance abuse services. The organization needed a fast, easy, cost-effective way to run mission-critical legacy applications across the WAN. With advanced server-based technology and near-zero-footprint clients, GO-Global for Windows provides NHS Trust with fast, simple, affordable access from any location. The results were substantial cost savings due to server consolidation, reduced supplier application support costs, better cash control, and improved accounting reconciliations, reduced PC support costs due to centralized application deployment and improved security due to server-based solution.
