Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Webinar Recording, Slides, and Q&A
From April 14, 2011 webinar
Watch recording, view presentation slides and read Q&A:
- Is there a good list of everything needed for a good Unidesk setup? Hardware specs? Software packages needed?
- Can you create a layer package for AutoCAD?
- Can you explain how Unidesk minimized the number of OS images that needed to be managed?
- Does Unidesk work with fat and thin clients? Are dual monitors possible?
- Does this still allow us to use Linked Clones to reduce disk space usage with VMware View?
- How do you logically group users / templates?
- In this environment, describe a user's ability to add software to their desktop? For example, ActiveX controls they might encounter while browsing, or downloading and installing apps from the web.
- Is Unidesk going to be IPV6 compatible going forward? Will it be trivial, modest, or hard to implement and integrate IPV6?
- Is there a way to give different levels of security within Unidesk for different support groups (i.e. desktop level vs. engineer level)?
- Since you persist the personalization of desktops, how do you handle backing up these personalizations?
- We have individually licensed scientific software that is licensed to a specific machine. Can this be packaged as a layer?
- 1 MB per 3 users sounds like pretty heavy WAN utilization. Is that what you're getting even though you're using Riverbed WAN acceleration? How much bandwidth have you provisioned for your largest remote office?
- Did you experience connectivity and performance issues and how are they monitored and resolved?
- How is the redirection of peripherals such as USB flash drives handled?
- How many of the WI tech staff are dedicated to VM?
- How many physical locations did DCF deploy to? How many users per site?
- Is the experience for viewing streaming media adequate?
- What is your disaster recovery strategy?
- What tools are you using to give you performance counters and monitoring for your environment?
- What was the cost of the implementation?
