The Ardence Solution

There is no disk drive inside the desktop PC it boots using PXE from the Ardence server and when the user enters their credentials the PC displays the desktop image appropriate to that user, for instance it could be a Senior Surgical Registrar needing detailed information about a patient then five minutes later an electrician needing details of the switchgear on the 5th floor of the east wing.

Both of these are important but neither wants to see what the other was accessing, with the Ardence Platform both users will get exactly the desktop image they expect and nothing else and no facility for fiddling with it, if a user does break something a simple power of and on will load a fresh image.

The power of this solution is demonstrated by way it is used in the USA where many of the giant hospitals use the master images served by a central server. They have thousands of users and hundreds of diskless PCs all served by the central Ardence server(s). Some cities have started copying the schools and have established citywide networks of health centres all linked to central Ardence servers thereby eliminating the requirement for IT technicians to visit clinics and health centres to repair hacked or virus affected PCs.
