Technology Mapping

22


Technology Selection

• 80% process workers – 20% knowledge workers• Centralising file data

– Security– Reduction in cost– Easier capacity management– Archiving– Move from file stores to collaboration stores

• Solving the browser upgrade impasse

23


Thin Delivery

• Process worker applications lean towards thin client delivery– hosted back ends– Simple user interfaces– requirement for data security– Hotdesking environments in JobCentres,

Contact Centres and Business Delivery Centres

24


Thin Delivery

• Even Knowledge Worker applications leaning towards thin client delivery– Average CPU utilisation across estate was

4%– Hosted backends for data warehouses and

analysis tooling– However some compute intensive

applications might necessitate traditional desktop

25


Thick Delivery

• Client Virtualised / Abstracted by default• For power users• For accessibility users



Implementation

27


The Solution• Targetting

– 85% thin client – 10% laptops– 5% desktops

• Application delivery primarily by Server Based computing, with thick client delivery by application virtualisation

• Also doing a major private “cloud-based productivity tools” upgrade

28


Key Aspects

• Put all applications through the Factory• Upgrade network connectivity• Site-by-site lifecycle rollout

– Replace existing apps with “thin versions”• Temporarily repurposing existing desktops

– Deliver “published desktop” experience– Firebreak– Quickly replace all hardware overnight

Challenges

• Changing from device focus to user focus• Vendor support and licensing in a

virtualised environment• Network sizing and upgrades• Cost containment – ensuring everyone

gets what they “need” – not what they “want”
