Publisher’s description

Dexia Bank's old system was not meeting business needs. Each branch bank had one Dell server, along with PCs on desktops. Because the primary applications were running under UNIX on IBM computers in the data center, the "Heavy" branch office servers were underutilized. At the same time, operating and supporting them was complex and costly. With the Branch of Tomorrow project, Dexia consolidated its legacy client/server architecture into a centralized architecture based on 300 HP BladeSystem servers in the bank's data center and 6000 HP Thin Clients in its branches. The solution also incorporates Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server software 3.0, which provides local and remote users with secure access to virtualized client/server applications from any location, device, or connection.
