The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) has received second pass approval for federal funding for the deployment of its Next Generation Desktop (NGD) project, following the successful completion of a pilot project in August.

The AU$6.2 million pilot commenced in April, and covered over 700 users across DoD, with Thales, Microsoft, and Citrix partnering to deliver the thin-client desktop service.

First TEMPEST Level 1 Zero Client introduced 
Austin, TX -- US foreign embassies, NATO locations, Ministries of Defense, and other security sensitive government agencies with TEMPEST requirements may now participate in IT virtualization initiatives using TEMPEST Zero Clients developed by CIS Secure Computing based on Clearcube Technology.

 The CIS TEMPEST Zero Clients are CTP II certified to meet the following TEMPEST standards:
•NSTISSAM 1-92 Level I and Level II
•NATO SDIP-27 Level A (formerly AMSG 720B)
•NATO SDIP-27 Level B (formerly AMSG 788A)
The Air Force could send personal computers to the junkyard by 2014, depending on the results of a study to replace them with thin clients -- 1 million on unclassified networks and 220,000 on classified networks.

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.
