- Tim Brodie is a 21 year IT veteran (ask him about IBM Series 1 assembly language) with experience in developing and integrating software for mainframes, mini's and microcomputers.
- He has had the pleasure of spending the last three years planning and executing the migration to Linux of Display Works Inc, a custom manufacturer of retail store fixtures.
- Currently, Display Works has 60% of its desktops and 95% of its infrastructure running on Redhat and Mandrake Linux, with the balance running integrated legacy software.
- Description
- Every one who has a computer on his or her desktop these days has at their fingertips more raw horsepower than any of the major banks had running in the 70's. So why is there a compelling case for Display Works to "regress" to taking a mainframe approach to sharing a main application server?
- Find out why many of today's contexts (including, perhaps, your home LAN) make a excellent case for a LTSP implementation.
- And, see some pictures of the results. I'll be glad to discuss the implementation, configuration of supporting services and some of the really positive results obtained... even running Mandrake 9.1.
