Things i love about workstation blades:
Quick easy methods of moving trader’s desk location
Upgrade process more straightforward through unified platform
Much easier to track and secure the asset
Unified platform, no options, no debate – re-enforce standards
Security patching easier – no workstations powered off hidden under a desk somewhere
On demand rebuilds – pc slow? Re-image it in 45 mins, re-allocate spare blade in the meantime
Finally does this allow me to hand blades over to server to say, it’s a blade, proceed. Sure trader desktop support own the platform, windows and email, they handle the issues, but the underlying tin, asset wise and possibly from a security and standards viewpoint is handled by server support or blade support. That way, trader support can fire fight issues, and blade/server support can be doing the audits, the security scans, ensuring the inventory is accurate? Maybe not.. An issue nonetheless for discussion.
