The Sanctuary Group – Successful Virtual Client Deployment In A Large Dispersed Enterprise
Posted on July 23, 2010 by Martin Hingley
Sanctuary Group’s Ben Andrews Highlights
- Is dispersed in structure with many non-IT users among its 6k staff
- Has adopted a ‘Terminal Services’ approach to virtualisation
- Still manages fat PCs, especially for tied-in applications, such as alarm and door entry systems
- Bases its infrastructure on Citrix, Wyse thin clients, Symantec tools and a resilient MPLS network
- Uses EV archiving to address the difficulties of .PST files in a virtualised world
- Always plans to stream ‘line of business’ applications using XenApp
- Intends to digitise extensive paper records in the near future
- Is an excellent example of a large enterprise saving money and improving service levels through centralisation
