Clients IAL Institut für angewandte Logistik gGmbH Case study Education provider IAL switches to virtual clients powered over Ethernet »Fujitsu Zero Clients have truly optimized our training conditions. Our students benefit from a less noisy learning environment and a more comfortable climate in the seminar rooms – factors that certainly help improve concentration. And besides, we are able to achieve tremendous energy savings.« Franz-Dieter Esser, CEO, IAL gGmbH 12 The customer Since 1991 the IAL Institut für angewandte Logistik has been operating as a non-profit limited liability corporation under German law providing training opportunities in the field of further education. The IAL CAMPUS is aimed specifically at corporate customers. Its education partners include the Microsoft IT Academy and SAP Germany. www.ial-esc.de The challenge The IAL’s target was to clearly reduce the administrative effort associated with the management of student and lecturer clients at their 15 Germany-based premises. The solution With Fujitsu Zero Clients on the desks and VMware in the data center the IAL now operates a fully virtualized IT environment. This concept radically reduces energy consumption and IT overhead. Fujitsu Best Practice Compendium
Freed up desk space and noiseless operation with Fujitsu Zero Clients Continuing vocational training Approximately 1,500 participants per year seize the training opportunities offered by the IAL. The IAL consists of 15 campus locations in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Bavaria. The training offer comprises IT qualification programs as well as training and retraining courses in business management and in the commercial-technical area. In the IT field the institute focuses on SAP training, as the software company SAP Germany is one of the official education partners of the IAL. Another special strength lies in its comprehensive training concept for corporate customers, also known as IAL CAMPUS. As a strong partner from the very outset the Federal Employment Agency ‘Agentur für Arbeit’ plays a prominent role – not least in the development of training offers and the assurance of the institute’s high demands on quality. Hands-on training at the PC “We generally provide computer-aided instruction. In practice, this involves fully integrating the required IT tools in our courses,” explains Franz-Dieter Esser, CEO at the IAL. “Therefore the training participants have their individual IT workstations.” All in all, the seminar rooms on the different campus locations are equipped with a total of 1,200 desks including one PC tower and monitor each, i.e. with an average of 15 to 20 units per room. “With normal PCs the room temperature increases by 4 to 10 degrees when a course is fully occupied,” Franz-Dieter Esser knows. “As we approached the topic of a new client infrastructure, one of our main concerns was to implement a sustainable solution that would alleviate our adminis- IAL Institut für angewandte Logistik gGmbH Clients trative burden. It was, however, equally important for us to improve the training conditions by banning excess heat and noise from the seminar rooms.” Virtualized client infrastructure Thomas Wysk, sales representative at Keppel Data-Systems, was able to witness the former conditions firsthand. He attended several SAP training courses at the IAL and finally advised the institute to switch to a virtualized client infrastructure where Fujitsu Zero Clients serve as endpoint devices on the desks that obtain the full scope of applications, data and performance straight from the data center – technically speaking, even the power supply. Client performance straight from the data center Starting with the Bonn-based premises the IAL has begun to equip all seminar rooms of the 15 institutes with Fujitsu Zero Clients. To start with the IAL ordered 20 Zero Clients that are supplied via a PRIMERGY TX300 tower server. Whereas the students only have a monitor with a keyboard and mouse in front of them, all course-relevant data and applications are stored on the server. “A Fujitsu Zero Client has no fan, no hard drive and no CPU,” Thomas Wysk explains. “All it takes is an Ethernet cable to connect the endpoint device.” The students can access their individual Windows environment by simply entering their user name and password. The former PC hard drive is located virtually on the server that quasi accommodates the entire previous PC hardware. storage capacity and performance are provided according to individual needs.
