Improve Security, Productivity with Commercial, Off-the-Shelf PCs
Success Brief: Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ Processor, Enterprise Client/Mobility Security and Manageability
Improving Security and Productivity with Commercial, Off-the-Shelf (COTS) PCs
U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency’s Next-Generation Desktop Initiative seeks to improve security and costs and enhance analyst productivity
ORGANIZATION
The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is a linchpin of the nation’s military intelligence community, providing authoritative assessments of foreign military intentions and capabilities to policy makers and military commanders. DIA has more than 16,500 military and civilian employees worldwide.
CHALLENGE
DIA needs to deliver a secure, cost-effective client environment that supports multilevel security (MLS) and allows access across multiple network domains. The client environment must also enable analysts to effectively use sophisticated, visually-based applications that improve their ability to explore complex webs of data and collaborate with colleagues.
SOLUTION
DIA is in the first year of a multiyear program to deploy and use the Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ processor to support MLS capabilities on end-user PC desktops. Going forward, DIA expects to build on this effort by implementing client virtualization with a Type 1, bare-metal hypervisor using Citrix XenClient*.
