Figure 1-146 Repository - UK English applications The above figure shows the logic tree details for the base map showing desktop applications on UK English. 1.25.4 Business case section 3 of 3: Using ultra-portable In the previous section, we demonstrated how Acme Holdings Inc. could use portable-sysprep images to move their Windows 2000 current systems from the old legacy imaging process to the ImageUltra modular process. Acme reduced 72 images into six portable image module to support the same 72 unique system configurations. Acme Holdings Inc. is planning to migrate to Windows XP running on IBM-only hardware for all future PC systems. They could continue to use this same portable solution as they are now using for Windows 2000 but the move to IBM hardware offers a better solution. IBM provides a special ultra-portable OS module for use on IBM equipment. These ultra-portable modules are available for Windows 2000 and XP. The advantage of the ultra-portable module over the portable-sysprep images is that the ultra-portable OS module can be used with any IBM system that supports Windows 2000 or XP. The HAL compatibility issues that we had to consider with the sysprep images are now resolved. With only two current portable-sysprep OS modules, this ultra-portability may not seem significant, but it really is. As new systems are introduced to Acme Holdings Inc.’s environment, the number of portable-sysprep modules will increase. Using the IBM provided ultra-portable OS module with the new systems will enable Acme Holdings Inc. to utilize a single OS module to support all of their new IBM laptops and desktops. Migration to this new ultra-portable system will require much less effort than the migration from legacy images to the portable-sysprep system. This is because all of the time and effort that went into creating the application modules does not have to be duplicated. All of the modules in the ImageUltra Builder’s repository are can be used to build as many unique system configurations that are needed. The only modules that are different between the portable-sysprep and the ultra-portable are the OS modules. All other modules can be reused as needed. In the future, Acme Holdings Inc. could start using the ultra-portable system for their older IBM models. To do this, they would replace the sysprep-portable OS module with the 140 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder
ultra-portable OS module and add any required driver modules for each IBM system that they need to support.
