Hardware can be discussed with some limitations. We are a Compaq/HP shop and we run DL580 and DL380 G3 for Metaframe. The G3's use the onbaord Smart Array 5i with the Battert Backed Write Cache and the DL580 use the 5302/64 controller. We do have a fairly robust network infrastructure which I can not divulge (my security team would 'draw and quarter' me if I did). adam "Andrew Rogers" <Andrew.Rogers@rennie-e To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> vans.co.uk> cc: Sent by: Subject: [THIN] Re: Dream environment thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx rg 04/01/2004 08:16 AM Please respond to thin Are you thinking about hardware, or just purely stuff like "must be secure"= There lots of little fiddley things like RAID setups and that you could con= Andrew --o-- >>> Adam.Baum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 01/04/04 15:47:17 >>> Didn't see nay responses so I fire I'd try again.....any takers.

Our standard way of developing roadmaps is to come up with our "dream" environment, analyze its costs/benefits, see if it meets our requirements, settle of the final solution, and then develop a plan for getting there. The "getting there" part may require multiple transitions...sort of like mutating into the final solution with several stops along the way. I am in the first phase. If you were walking into a new company that had no computers, but a standard list of apps, what would your dream Metaframe environment look like? Here are some guidelines: Windows 2003 Active Directory will be in use Beside using internally, clients will need access from home Must be secure (ie..128bit encryption, etc) PC's and thinclient devices are to be used Stability is key Can use 3rd party utilities such as Tscale and Simplify Printing. Antivirus is a must This is a local government - we run all sorts of stuff. The more we can have on Metaframe, the better. adam ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online.
