Afternoon Session - Day 3 -- Client Architecture Futures - Work and Personal use of a converged device.

Client Architecture Futures – Work and Personal use of a converged device.

 

Common enterprise concept of Bring your own PC. 

How do we separate and support personal and business use on a single device while keeping the corporate network secure?

How about taking advantage of the fact that many users have faster home PCs than they have on their desk at work?

HR and Legal concerns are often more difficult to work through than the technical ones…

“He who has the money makes the rules” – whichever side “pays” for the computer gets more of the choice.  Some sort of company stipend middle ground perhaps.

 

Caution Points lie around  - Risk Mgmt, HR/Legal, Applications, Service.

 

Once you decide to do it, how do you secure it?

Several concepts and solutions out there including Citrix’s XenClient solution for providing virtualization on a laptop or a desktop to provide multiple personas.

HPLABS Researching some cool ideas in this arena.
