1. Desktop Consolidation Solution:
There are different solutions in this area and each fits in to different set of users.
| Requirement | VDI | Blade Workstations (BWS) | SBC |
| 3D Rendering applications | | | |
| Applications that require graphic cards | | | |
| Need the most powerful CPUs | | ü | |
| Need only basic Office Applications | ü | ü | |
| Need controlled access to sensitive data | ü | ü | |
| Shift workers who share PCs | ü | ü | |
| Large BUs with common image requirements | ü | ü | |
| Require the use of < 3 applications | ü | | ü |
| Limited function, task-based workers | ü | | ü |
| Application delivery for newly acquired organizations | ü | | ü |
| Need to run different type of dialer / security applications | ü | ü | |
Blade Workstation from HP are ideal for users who need very high processing power (Dedicated Processor / Memory / Graphics / Storage) with highest security required for the Applications and Data.
VDI is ideal for users who would need to have their own application and data environment. The users need not be power users and they can run their application in the shared environment. (Processor / Memory). Vendors like VMWARE / Citrix are offering VDI solutions of their own. The key to success of VDI implementation relies on designing the server and storage.
SBC is for the users who can work on a completely shared environment. In this solution the applications will be loaded on to a Terminal Server and multiple users can log in to users and work independently on the applications. The users can connect to the server using LAN / WAN. There is no distance limitation on this solution.
The solution has to be suggested considering the user requirement – both immediate and long term.
