Acme is an organization with a total of 30,000 users. 16,000 are allocated a fixed workstation, 3,000 are laptop users, and 11,000 access applications in kiosk mode. The network environment is Microsoft Active Directory and SecureLogin version 3.5 is currently implemented. All users are managed from one administration workstation. ZenWorks is used for application distribution and deployment generally occurs overnight.
Sales OU users have laptops for mobile access to the network. The Central Administration OUs contain a combination of static workstations and laptop users.
Manufacturing and Purchasing OU users are mobile; workstations are accessed in kiosk mode. Users in the remaining OUs are each allocated a workstation for their sole use.
The Java functionality provided by the new version of SecureLogin is eagerly awaited by users in the Sales group, so they have volunteered to trial the upgrade. Once the upgrade is successfully deployed to the Sales group, SecureLogin Single is deployed in stages to the rest of Acme.
