Our government-sector customer had a problem installing and rolling out servers quickly enough to respond to requests from the various offices they have responsibility for. The problem is that each blade needed to get the right (usually custom) installation at the right time to be ready for delivery.

Client Manager Facilitates PC Replacement Plan

mly0077 — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 13:43:27 -0500

In our district we have a 5 year "end of life cycle" on HP Client workstations. We need to be very diligent to keep an up to-date inventory of all hardware in order to know where this equipment is and when it is time to replace it. It can be very difficult (not to mention time consuming) to keep our inventory error free with the old "paper and pencil" method of inventory.

Altiris and HP Enhance the Power of VMware

At our school district we basically breath HP. Our computers, printers, switches and servers are all HP because we want to be the best, and to be the best you have to have the best. We do all of our computer imaging and software deployment through Altiris Deployment Server. We have been using Altiris Deployment Server for the past five years and have had such good success with it. Like most places, we have an understaffed IT department, so it is crucial to have a software package like Deployment Server in place.
