Thin clients sought to replace one-size-fits-all approach.The Department of Defence kicked off an overhaul of its 115,000-seat desktop environment by issuing a request for suppliers this week. The so-called 'Next Generation Desktop Project' was part of the department's ICT reform program, which was expected to cut its ICT expenditure by $1.9 billion within ten years. Next Generation Desktops were to transform Defence's existing one-size-fits-all approach to a dynamic, user-centric delivery model based on each user's location, application requirements and profile. Defence said that today, only ten percent of the department's 95,000 users access virtualised desktops (via Citrix's XenApp 4.5 suite) either remotely, on thin clients, for specific applications, or from non-Windows systems like Linux and Sparc. The majority of users connected to the Defence network via traditional PC-based technology with Windows XP and Windows 2003 back-end server software. |
