The Department of Defence will roll out 500 Thales Trusted Thin Client devices by March for a three-month pilot under its Next Generation Desktops project.

The project will allow personnel to access multiple, classified networks from a single device, replacing the current practice of having separate machines for 'restricted' and 'secret' domains.

Personnel will choose from either accessing each domain on a separate monitor, or calling up domain-specific, virtualised applications from a single desktop interface using Citrix XenApp and Microsoft App V.

Nice article from writer Rob Enderle that we have always enjoyed over the years talks about how iPad effect on business culture. Not unlike the impact of the iPhone (which we now support along with Blackberries & lately Androids). Consumers beginning to drive Business unlike the old paradigm.
