NEWS Cheshire County Council is to deploy a remote desktop management system from Vector Networks to control its PCs centrally. The desktop management developer will install its LANutil32 Elite software, allowing for 4,000 desktops in over 200 buildings across the country to be managed centrally on a remote basis. Don Pawlett, project manager at Cheshire County Council, said the move would assist in lowering the total cost of ownership for the desktop. He said: "The new installation will give us the ability to double our network users without having to add workers to our help desk." The council, one of the largest local authorities in the UK, is also going through the process of migrating from an IBM S/390 mainframe environment to a mixture of IBM Unix and Windows NT. The council is also considering moving its core financial systems from the current S/390 system onto Oracle Financials to run on IBM's AIX platform.
