  • Page 2: Abstract

    Abstract This document provides information on design considerations specific for the Static model implementation of the HP Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) Solution. The static configuration is for customers who do not wish to dynamically allocate users to blade PCs. Instead, each user connects directly to a statically assigned blade PC that is dedicated for use by that specific user.

  • Page 3: Static Topology

    Static Topology Note: Network Infrastructure Design can and should change to fit into the customers existing network and or business requirements. Figure 1 below depicts an example of a simple network using just one VLAN. Figure 1. CCI static topology with single VLAN HP PC Blade Enclosure LAN Segment 2 (NIC Bs disabled)
  • Page 4 Figure 2 shows an example of a two VLAN Network design (Allows separation of the Blade PC Imaging from daily network traffic). Figure 2. CCI static topology with two VLANs Altiris/ HPSIM (RDP) with PXE/DHCP HP PC Blade Enclosure LAN Segment 1 (Segment 1 NIC IPs assigned by DHCP)

  • Page 5: Static Configuration Design Considerations

    Static configuration design considerations Outlined below is the most basic Static Configuration. Compared to the dynamic CCI model, this basic static configuration has increased risk of software image issues including viruses or losing user data stored locally on the blade PC hard drive. Also provided is a list of customizable items that may be considered when designing the static CCI solution to satisfy the customer’s business requirements.

  • Page 6: Cci User-Based Configuration Options

    CCI User-based Configuration options Once the basic configuration is established, configuration options are available that allow ease of management, security, reliability and maintenance. The options described below are controlled by Active Directory Group Policy settings. Refer to the Policy Implementation and Recommendation Guide for the Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) document for additional information about the Group Policy Objects which affect the CCI solution behavior.

  • Page 7: Roaming Profile

    Roaming profile • Affected behaviors: – User profile is available for any blade PC logged into, enabling the user’s environment to follow him/her to any blade PC logged into. • Impact of using Roaming profiles: – Need to limit what is included in the profile. The larger the profile, the longer it takes to log in –...

  • Page 8: Session Timer Values

    Session timer values Session timers are especially valuable when using a dynamic configuration where total users out number total blades. In order to ensure the highest availability of blades, timers can be set to disconnect user sessions that remain idle for long periods of time, thereby making the blade available to others users.

  • Page 9: Cci Design Considerations

    CCI design considerations This section discusses CCI design considerations. CCI static configuration network considerations CCI can function as a bridging technology to separate corporate networks from the Internet by using one Blade PC NIC for corporate data/user access and the other Blade PC NIC for Internet access. However, the following should be considered: •...
