Functional aspects • Only authorised users allowed • Only selected research institutes • Only under contract • Traditional on-site: • users can not enter nor leave SN unaccompanied • OnSite@Home: • Biometric identification • PKI Certificates • Username + Password
Functional aspects • (Micro) data stay at SN • Traditional on-site: • Network separate from production • No internet • No local printers • No floppy, USB, … • OnSite@Home: • Network separate from production • Citrix connection

First experiences of pilot • Pilot: • University of Tilburg • 2 workstations (Windows PC’s) • 6 users • Experiences: • Positive, no real problems • Performance like own desktop PC
Conclusions and remarks • Promising counterpart of traditional on-site • Confidentiality issues ‘under control’ • Check of output labour intensive but needed • Can be used to provide access to MUC’s as well?
