## Today’s Business Users

- Task
- User

- Knowledge
- User

- Power
- User

- _Not All Users Are Alike_
- Different Computing Requirements
- for Different Users

**Notes:**
At ClearCube, our 10 years of experience has shown that, in each organization, there exists a variety of business users.  And, not all users are alike.   Each group of business users has a set of requirements that may be common across all users in the organization, but in many cases, is unique to that group of users.  In general, we’ve discovered that there are three types of users, the Task User, the Knowledge User, and the Power User which we will shortly discuss in detail.
Would you say your base of users is diverse?
What are the key user groups in your organization?

## Today’s Business Users

**Today’s Business Users**

- Task
- User

- _TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS_
- Applications: Transaction Processing
- User Device: Thin Client, Terminal
- Performance: Modest
- Customization: Minimal
- Mobility: Limited to None
- Storage: Minimal
- Peripherals: Minimal
- Environment: Call Center, Customer Area, etc.

**Notes:**
A typical Task User has the following characteristics.  They are generally transaction oriented, perhaps bank tellers, call center agents, or customer service representatives using just a few applications to process their tasks.  Their interface requirements are pretty straightforward: a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse.  Because their tasks are repetitive, their performance needs are minimal and there is probably very limited customization or personalization needed for their computing configuration.  Typically, they are situated in a fixed location with minimal space for technology.  The data from their transactions is typically stored at a remote location with little need to transfer data to another medium at their location.
Who in your organization would fit this general criteria?  Do they have unique requirements from those we listed?

## Today’s Business Users

**Today’s Business Users**

- Knowledge
- User

- _TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS_
- Applications: MS Office, SAP, Oracle, etc.
- User Device: Desktop, Laptop
- Performance: Medium
- Customization: High
- Mobility: Some
- Storage: High
- Peripherals: Some
- Environment: Typical Office

**Notes:**
A typical Knowledge User has the following characteristics.  Their roles are typically defined by the creation, processing, analysis, and reporting of data, perhaps data generated by Task Users.  Such positions could be Accountants, Marketing Staff, Management, Business Analysts, etc.  They could be using analysis and creation applications such as Excel, SAP, Oracle, Peoplesoft, etc.  Many of these users today are equipped with desktops and laptops, typically with mid-range performance characteristics.  Because these users manipulate lots of data, increased storage, unique configurations, and some personalization is required to optimize the productivity of the user.  For traditional laptop users, mobility now becomes a factor as these users need to travel to remote or customer locations as part of their duties.  In addition, connectivity with local storage, printing, and projection equipment becomes a significant requirement.  These users are located in a typical office environment with occasional travel placing them at airports, hotels, customer sites, and Starbucks.

Who in your organization would fit this general criteria?  Do they have unique requirements from those we listed?

- Applications: MS Office, SAP, Bloomberg, etc.
- User Device: Desktop, Laptop, PDA
- Performance: High
- Customization: High
- Mobility: High
- Storage: High
- Peripherals: Many
- Environment: Ubiquitous

**Notes:**
Power Users can be difficult to quantify.  For some organizations, they are users that need high performance, significant storage, and superior graphics capability such as Developers, Financial Traders, Graphics Designers, etc.  For others, Power Users are characterized by high mobility requirements from a variety of devices, such as PDAs and Smartphones.  For these users, they expect to access and process data anywhere in the world with the device of their choice configured with their personal settings.  These could be Field Salespeople, Executives, Doctors, etc.  In all cases, the unique nature of these users drives the needs to interface with a variety of peripherals.

**Notes:**
We believe that business computing has come full circle: From mainframes in the data center, then to PCs, and now computing is moving back to data center.  However, users are moving farther from the data center and they are moving constantly, yet they expect the PC experience.

At ClearCube, we believe that you should provide the highest quality computing experience to your users by giving them the power and flexibility of a personal computer.  And, we believe that you should be able to operate your computing resources in a 24/7 environment with the highest possible security and control.

How do we do this?

ClearCube’s Sentral software enables IT administrators to monitor and manage global deployments from a single console.  Sentral efficiently leverages the uniqueness of ClearCube's centralized hardware architecture in ways not possible with any software on a distributed PC platform (ex., virtual IMAC, etc.).  With our Centralized Infrastructure, Sentral lowers IT support costs by 40 to 60%.

With the Sentral Console, IT administrators can view device and session information, monitor performance of all systems, and remotely take control of blades and user sessions. The console can be scaled to manage thousands of nodes and includes unique features such as virtual machine integration, remote BIOS upgrades, active health monitoring, multi-level security configuration and customized views and reporting.

With the optional Switching and Dynamic Allocation Modules, Sentral expands the standard capabilities of managing the desktop PC platform to include:
        - Dynamic or On-Demand Allocation such as 1:1, 1:n, and n:1
        - pre-emptive maintenance?
        - remote inventory?
Furthermore, the software platform can also be leveraged to support other vendors’ blade systems.

## Any User – Any Device 

- User

- Power
- User

**Any User – Any Device **

- Device Independent

- Thin Clients/User Ports
- Laptop
- Box PC
- Tablets
- PDA/Smartphone/Ultra Mobile PC

**Notes:**
Finally, in keeping with our user-based solution philosophy, we recognize that different user groups access and process data differently.  In fact, a single user may access their data with many different types of devices.

For many of our customers, a thin client or User Port is the access device of choice.  A ClearCube innovation, user ports are small, quiet, and sophisticated; perfect for Task and Knowledge Users.  Both wired and IP-based methods of access are available to best match your infrastructure.

In the last few years, the sales of laptops have exceeded desktops in order to provide Power and Knowledge users with increased mobility.
Furthermore, users are already leaning towards the “thin and light” category – confirming that future laptops will primarily be access & visualization and not computational tools.  With this increase in usage comes increased risk of data loss or theft.  ClearCube mitigates that risk by securing laptop data back at the blade, but allows the user the freedom to operate in a variety of environments.

Similarly, with the increase in offshoring of software development and data processing functions, organizations are concerned about the security of their data, plus the protection of their intellectual property.  ClearCube enables companies to remotely locate Box PCs sized for software development or other functions in a remote location where the local users have the maximum amount of computing resource, but the organization can secure its data.

Mobility is not limited to traditional office workers.  Highly specialized applications in areas such as healthcare are driving the need to support custom devices, such as tablets.  Typically, the healthcare professional is performing Task User type of work on the tablet, such as recording vital signs or confirming medications.  Again, ClearCube enables the user to be highly mobile in performing their Task type of duties, yet ensures data security in compliance with such regulations as HIPAA.

And finally, more and more Power Users aren’t even office-based anymore so they use devices such as PDAs, Smartphones, or Ultra Mobile PCs.  These devices possess plenty of storage and computational power to handle “always-on” applications and connect to wireless peripherals such as displays, printers, input devices and PCs whenever required.  This is the fastest growing category of all access devices and it introduces the greatest security risk and largest management challenge.  ClearCube provides these users with flexibility and mobility while giving IT the security and manageability it needs.

## Changing Rules of the Game

**The New Rule: One User. Many Access Devices. **
**Users are more mobile, i.e., laptops / smart phones growing far more rapidly than desktops**
**Enterprises increasingly serious about rock-solid business continuity**
**Increasing numbers of employees working from home**
**Freedom and productivity for users, but a huge management problem for IT... thus costly for Business**
**As devices proliferate, IT cannot manage each device like they manage PCs today.**
**If all clients have local applications, store data, i.e., need anti-virus etc., the licensing and management costs become a massive challenge**
**Centralized Computing is the only real solution. **
***One User. Many Access Devices.... But ONE Experience.***

## Basic Virtualization Components

## ClearCube Software Components 

## ClearCube Virtualization Model – VMware Virtual Server

**Although the final virtual machine to blade ratio will be dependent on sizing, ClearCube uses the “512 Rule” for determining a baseline ratio.**
**The “512 Rule” states that for every virtual machine, you need:**
**512MB of RAM**
**512MHz of processor cycles.**
**Based on this, with the memory allocation of the compatible blades, IT Teams can realize a base of 5 virtual machines for each blade.**

## ClearCube Virtualization Model – VMWare VI-3

**The virtual machiens on the ESX model will reside not on the local hard drive, rather, on an NFS share on the network (either NAS or iSCSI).**
**Based on the improved memory allocation and sharing technology, plus the greater memory and processor resources available, the ratio of virtual machines to blades increases 3x with ESX and the R2200 (and NGR in Q3 2007).**

## ClearCube Virtualization Offerings

**Different models of blades are built for specific virtualization offerings, primarily based on VMware Hardware Compatibility recommendations.**

| Blade Model | Blade Availability | VMWare Server 1.0.3 
(formerly VMWare GSX) | VMWare VI-3 
(formerly VMWare ESX) |
