CTU: How to secure 4000 workstations in one go

FACULTY OF CONSTRUCTION CTU & ORBIT The Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU wanted to provide its students with graphically and computationally demanding applications not only at school, but also at home, in the dormitory or even in the park. Just two semesters later, thousands of future engineers could work on their projects day and night, at full power, from anywhere and from any device (if they wanted to). Which came in handy when the coronavirus...

Doosan Lentjes: How virtualization helped corporate expansion

ADVANCED IT INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPANSION PLANS Doosan Lentjes Czech supplies power plants and incinerators with sophisticated fluidised bed combustion and flue gas cleaning technologies. They are designed by about 40 engineers working on expensive workstations that nevertheless could not cope with the ever-increasing demands of CAD applications (AutoCad, Inventor, etc.). The cycle of buying more powerful hardware was never ending and was taking an unacceptably large chunk out of the running costs. At the same time, Doosan Lentjes Czech...

FAST FACTS OUTSIDE Tatra banka was forced to choose a new, modern platform due to the end of support for Windows XP. Instead of switching to a more advanced desktop version of Windows, the bank opted for a complete virtualization strategy. This was due to good experience with already partially virtualised operations and better sustainability of the virtualised infrastructure in the long term. The bank chose an experienced partner as its project guide -...
