PovzetekFujitsov sistem “multi workplace” računalništva ponuja 64-bitno strežnik-uporabnik infrastrukturo, ki temelji na enem samem računalniku. Sistem lahko skupaj uporablja do 100 uporabnikov, ki si delijo prostor na disku, optično enoto in operacijski sistem gostitelja. Nastavitve je mogoče prilagoditi tako, da je uporabniška izkušnja zelo podobna standardnemu osebnemu računalniku. Fujitsov računalniški sistem je zasnovan za standardne pisarniške aplikacije, kot so urejevalniki besedila, obdelava razpredelnic, predvajanje pretočnih posnetkov, uporaba spleta in mnoge druge programov, ki jih uporabljajo izobraževalne organizacije.Stroški na uporabnika so skoraj za polovico manjši glede na ceno osebnega računalnika. Dodatna prednost tega sistema so prihranki, ki najbolj pridejo do izraza, kadar več uporabnikov uporablja isti nabor aplikacij ali si delijo isti uporabniški profil. V takšnih primerih se bo sprememba, ki jo naredi eden od uporabnikov, uveljavila tudi pri vseh drugih uporabnikih istega profila. Tako se opravila, kot so posodabljanje programske opreme ali odkrivanje virusov izvedejo samo enkrat. Enako velja za spremembe strojne opreme in vzdrževanje računalnika. Dostopne naprave, ki so v primeru omenjenega sistema tanki klienti, je mogoče upravljati na lokalni in centralni ravni; tako lahko posodobljeno programsko opremo namestimo na vse tovrstne naprave hitro in učinkovito. Ključne besede “multi workplace” računalništvo, izobraževalne organizacije, prihranki. AbstractFujitsu’s multi workplace computing offers a 64-bit server-client-infrastructure which is based on a single PC. Up to 100 users can share the storage, optical drive and operating system of such a single host. Depending on the setup as well as scaling of the host, users will experience a look and feel similar to what they are used to when working with a standard PC. Multi workplace computing is designed for standard office applications like Word and Excel, video streaming, and Internet use as well as several third party software solutions i.e. for schools and educational organizations.The cost per user is nearly cut into half when compared to the cost of an entry-level PC. In addition, savings regarding manageability are even higher. This is quite noticeable where several users are working with the same set of applications or share the same user profile. In those cases, any change applied to one profile will be applied to all others as well. Therefore, a software update or virus scan must only be run once instead of multiple times. Hardware changes or maintenance of the PC is done only once as well. The access devices are locally or centrally managed, a common profile and new firmware can be deployed to all devices for fast and easy rollout. Key words multi workplace computing, educational organizations, savings. |
