  7. Why ANOTHER category of Notebooks? • Create a new vector of products in the mobile category • Provide a FULL PC experience with the flexibility of mobility • Sleek, thinner and lighter devices • Multi-tasking performance & rich internet experience  • Create a new vector of products in the mobile category • Provide a FULL PC experience with the flexibility of mobility • Sleek, thinner and lighter devices • Multi-tasking performance & rich internet experience • Create videos, edit photos, burn CD&DVD • Quiet cooling solutions • Lower overall platform power for improved battery life

  8. Mobile Device Operating Systems • Windows XP Home/Professional/XPe • Traditional Linux Distributions • Intel Moblin Project • Google Android • Ubuntu Netbook Remix • Windows 7 Starter • gOS • Cloud based Operating System • Mac OS X

  9. Cloud Computing • A definition refers to any situation in which computing is done in a remote location (out in the clouds), rather than on your desktop or portable device. • You tap into that computing power over an Internet connection. "The cloud is a smart, complex, powerful computing system in the sky that people can just plug into." Web browser pioneer Marc Andreessen Source: http://www.businessweek.com

  10. Cloud Structure Cloud Benefits: • Cloud = Less Investment (not own data center, hardware; use outside provider of servers, storage, and bandwidth) • Cloud = Scale (tens of thousands of server computers) • Cloud = Flexible and Efficiency Source: http://news.cnet.com

  11. Cloud Computing Types

  12. Cloud Operating Systems • Work completely online – personally OR collaboratively • Provide basic OS functionality • Centrally manage OS “images” • Public or Private cloud services • Enable lower cost computing elements (lower cost netbooks) • Various Fee and free offerings

  13. Intel My WiFi Technology – Sync, Share, Show • Sync Wi-Fi enabled devlices like media players or digital cameras • Share content among your Wi-Fi devices anywhere • Show content from one Wi-Fi enabled device on another Wi-Fi device. Ex. Show a streaming video from the Internet on an HDTV • Print directly to a Wi-Fi enabled printer • My WiFi technology lets your Wi-Fi enabled CE devices connect directly and securely to your notebook without having to go through a Wi-Fi network access point. Your Intel Centrino 2 processor technology based notebook is your own portable Wi-Fi network. • Intel My WiFi technology inherits the same mature security capabilities of conventional Wi-Fi (i.e. WPA, WPA2, etc) • Intel WiFi Link 5100 or Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 required – Windows Vista & Win 7

  14. Desktop + Notebook Outdoor & Indoor Modems + WiFi WiMAX – Extending WiMAX to Mobility 802.16e Full range of Mobile Devices Client Notebook Full Mobile Integration PC-Card + Integration Modem Technology Nomadic WiMAX ’07 – ‘08 Fixed WiMAX ‘06 Mobile WiMAX ’08 – ‘09

  15. Global WiMAX Deployments 2009

  16. Securing and Managing the Mobile device • TPM is the foundation– first shipped in 1999, 20+ million shipped to-date • Intel vPro can be an additional malware and manageability • TPM is integrating with mainstream applications: Adobe Acrobat, Checkpoint VPN, Cisco VPN, Verisign Personal Trust Agent, Utimaco, Absolute Software, etc. • Integrated Biometric Security measures – FPR, Facial Recognition • Integration of Biometric fingerprint AND TPM • Computrace Agent in BIOS for AssetTrack and Theft recovery • Systems Management via Internet Gateway • Device Management, NAC and HIPS

  17. Managing Mobility Overview

  18. Thin Client and Terminal Services/Citrix

  23. Typical Terminal Services/Citrix Implementation BranchOffices WindowsTerminalsand NCs RemoteComputing WinFrame & MetaFrameServer Farms Cross-PlatformDesktops Wireless Terminals and Information Appliances WebComputing

  24. What is a “Multi User” OS Environment? • Hardware/Software stack that runs applications on a remote server, not on a local desktop. • Key strokes and mouse click are sent over network to the server to process and give back the result…… thus sometimes referred to as “screen-casting” • Clients can be a low powered PC or a Thin client device. • Thin Clients typically don’t have HDD, FDD, CDROMS, Cooling Fans. Most have Low Processing Power.

  25. What is a Thin Client? How does it work? • Small User device about 1/3 Size Of PC. • Can Support Windows CE, XP Embedded, Thin OS’s (i.e. ThinConnect) and Linux Environments. • Some are configured with NO local OS. • Can Be Configured On As Low As 16Mb Of RAM. • Same Feel As Working On a Windows Based OS – basic Windows fidelity. • Remote Computation….Server Takes Care Of All The Processing. • Works On either Citrix`s ICA (Independent Computing Architecture), Sun’s ALP (Appliance Link Protocol) Or Microsoft's RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Protocols (Both Require Only 20Kbps Speed Over Network To Work). • User Logs Onto The Server Via Web Portal And A Familiar Windows Base Environment is Replicated to Users Screens With Access To Application, Internet, Mail, Drives, Printers, Etc.

  26. Thin Clients – General Overview • Sun Microsystems – SunRay 2 (All based on Sun Ray OS) Range from $349.00 to $799.00 depending on configuration • HP 5000 Series– (OS Choice: HP ThinConnect, ThinPro, Xpe or CE6) Range from $249.00 to $600.00 depending on configuration • Wyse S, V, R, G series (OS Choice: Linux, Xpe, CE6, Zero – WSM) Range from $250.00 to $1200.00

  27. Capacity of the average CPU is under-utilized (using less than 10%!) < CPU meter > Client Hardware VirtualizationShare excess computing resources among multiple users! Turn 1 PC to up 30 Virtual PCs

  28. NComputing Technology Enables Desktop Virtualization 1 3 2 NComputing vSpace Software runs on standard Windows or Linux host computer NComputing Access Terminals are slim, silent, efficient, and very low cost NComputing User Extension Protocol (UXP) delivers a secure, multi-media interface

  29. Hardware Product Line Overview X-Series: Direct Connection • Lowest Cost • Full multimedia • Host in same room (10m) • 1 watt per user • X550: Up to 11 users per host • X300: Up to 7 users per host L-Series: Ethernet Connection • Most Flexible • Highest # of users per host • Ethernet = no distance limits • 5 watts per user • Up to 30 users per host computer

  30. X Series Configuration Ideal environments: K-12 Note: Four users can share a PC running with one X300 kit. Seven users can share with two X300 kits.

  31. L Series Deployment Architecture Ideal Environments: Some Higher Ed computer labs Connects over the LAN or WAN at any distance using an IP address • Why buy an access terminal vs. another PC • Saves Hardware cost (less expensive than a thin client and easier to deploy). • Reduces IT Maintenance • Promotes central storage networks to increase data security • Reduces Power consumption and saves energy • Essentially, never obsolete and easy to upgrade • Eliminate any down time by having multiple host PC’s Note: Up to 30 users can share if the host hardware is a server running a server OS (i.e. Terminal Server 2008).

  32. Sample Hardware Virtualized environment In this example, just four host PCs are needed for a lab with 24 students! Student is playing a game in class During Class Time, Playing a game NControl can monitor student sessions, send warnings, and even close the game window Send a warning message to a student and close an game window by using NControl Only 1 network cable drop feeds 7 students -- dramatically reducing wiring costs/time • Access Terminal at student: • Powered by the Ethernet cable, so no additional electrical needed • Generates no heat, hence no HVAC retrofits required

  33. The Components of a Software Virtual Client Solution Corporate Office or Disaster Recovery Center Thin client desktops or laptops Unmanaged PCs Outsourced or Branch Office PCs Connection Broker Developer desktops DevonIT 6020 or Safebook Wyse S10 Neoware c50 Desktop clients run on pool of centralized servers using VMware software with Connection Broker
