2. Key Concept Overview This Presentation is about a MIGRATION Strategy This Presentation is about Tomorrow INTERNAL USE ONLY

3. Agenda • The Basis for Concern -”Why Should You Care?” • Possible “Not-so-Cost- Effective” Solution • Possible “Slightly More Cost Effective Solutions” • Cost Effective Solutions • The “Very Cost Effective AEP Networks Solutions” • Added Benefits of the AEP Networks Solutions • Recap • Questions INTERNAL USE ONLY

4. The Basis for Concern Gartner: Get Off Windows XP by 2013 • Most IT pros have thought about moving away from the venerable Windows XP operating system, but the ones that haven't are "really, really late," according to Gartner Inc. • Gartner doesn't believe that Microsoft will further extend support for Windows XP, which will end in less than 9 months. At that point, Microsoft won't issue any no-cost security patches, leaving system vulnerabilities unplugged. • The clock is ticking for IT organizations still using Windows XP, as it generally takes six to 12 months to complete an OS migration, according to Gartner. • If you don't get Windows XP out by 2014, you'll have to pay custom support to Microsoft. Custom support is generally $200,000 for the first year if you do have Software Assurance, and it's $500,000 if you don't have Software Assurance."

5. So….What Are Your Choices? INTERNAL USE ONLY

6. Possible “Not So Cost Effective Solution”But….The Eventual Future? • Upgrade to Windows 7 >>> 8 • Buy New PCs that can “Effectively” Run Windows 7 >>> 8 • Spend “Whatever it Takes” for Desktop Installation & Support • Plan on $650 per Desktop: $500 Hardware Plus I&S at $150 (Unisys) • Little Justification & Education Required …Except to Finance & Shareholders INTERNAL USE ONLY

7. Slightly More Cost Effective Solutions Infrastructure VDI – Virtual Desktop Interface • More Cost Effective relative to Desktop Hardware • No More Cost Effective relative to Desktop Support • Not Cost Effective relative to Infrastructure Hardware - Huge Investment • Not Cost Effective relative to Infrastructure Support – Serious Support • Requires Significant Education and Some Justification INTERNAL USE ONLY

8. More Cost Effective Solutions – Thin Client DeviceAn AEP Networks Solution More Cost Effective relative to Desktop Hardware More Cost Effective relative to Desktop Support More Cost Effective relative to Infrastructure Hardware More Cost Effective relative to Infrastructure Support Requires Justification & Education ……..So….What Exactly is a “Thin Client?? INTERNAL USE ONLY

9. Thin Client – Evolved Definitions • Host – Client • Mainframe and “dumb terminals” • Client-Server • In this implementation the client queries the server and waits for the server application to process queries, analyze and retrieve the data. • Thin Client • Is a solid state device that provides a connection to the Thin Client computing environment via the network connection • Thin-Client Server • The biggest difference is the addition of Thin Clients which shift the application processing to the server.

10. AEP Networks – Ultra Protect • Ultra Protect is the most secure, application-interoperable remote access gateway in the market place today. • Ultra Protect products are purpose built to enable business users to securely access corporate networks, whether on a LAN or in a Cloud, from a multitude of end user devices such as Tablets, Smart Phones and home PCs. • Users can access the network with a mobile device or internally from a thin client. • Available as hardware, virtual appliance and End Point for Windows, Mac, Linux thin client, this enables secure, Web browser access to a broad range of business applications.

11. Getting Thin – Which Devices? Wyse Linux Thin Client

12. Getting Thin – Which Devices? HP Linux Thin Client

13. What Does AEP Networks Bring to The Party? • Secure Remote Desktop Services – SRDS • Ensure only traffic originating through Ultra Protect is allowed • A trusted RDP client is pushed to the End User Device (PC, iPad, Android) to ensure the integrity of the connection • Malicious attempts to compromise the connection are prevented • SRDS prevents one of the most common attacks on RDP clients— attempts to “piggyback” malicious code on to a trusted RDP client.

17. Most Cost Effective SolutionAn AEP Solution Desktop - VDI – Virtual Desktop Interface • More Cost Effective relative to Desktop Hardware • More Cost Effective relative to Infrastructure Hardware • More Cost Effective relative to Desktop Support • Some Justification & Education Required INTERNAL USE ONLY

18. VDI (Virtual Desktop Interface) via SRDS • MyDesktop • MyDesktop enables users to access their desktops from remote locations • MyDesktop uses LDAP to retrieve the user information • Access to user desktops is granted via membership to the application created • Secure, seamless remote access to a single user’s PC via auto-created access control lists (ACLs) • Publish one application that serves all users INTERNAL USE ONLY

19. AEP Networks Secure Application Interface Desktops (Can be Transparent) • All Applications are accessed securely and remotely through a web browser, which functions as a VPN client secured with SSL 256 & 128-bit Encryption. Ultra Electronics 2012

28. Thin Client BENEFITS REALIZED • Cost savings from not upgrading all systems to Windows 7 • Significant anticipated reduction of operations cost (60%) • Productivity gains from Faster user response time (6x) • Common access portal for all users to all applications • Centralized Security • More flexibility and mobility – users not tide to a specific workstation • Energy efficiency - Lower power consumption • Lower WAN Bandwidth utilization

29. The Thin Client advantage Thin Client SUMMARY Ultra Electronics 2012

30. Recap • Migration from Widows XP is a must • Replacing XP with Windows 7 then 8 is a Very Expensive Proposition • If you’ve got it…flaunt it! • Replacing XP with Infrastructure VDI is an Expensive Proposition • Like Diamonds…Elegant but…Expensive… • Replacing XP with a Hardware Thin Client Solution is a Very Viable Proposition • Requires multiple vendors for “Best of Breed” Solutions\ • Replacing XP with Secure Remote Desktop Services is the Clear Winner • Most Cost Effective • Least Technically Disruptive • A True Migration on Existing Infrastructure INTERNAL USE ONLY
