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.

Basic Static Configuration

The Basic CCI Static Configuration is similar to an unmanaged corporate PC with extended/remote
I/O devices, as described in Table 1. This configuration utilizes the least amount of user restrictions
and ease of implementation, in which each user has local Administrative privileges to their specific
blade PC.
