Business Continuity Management Using VDI Technology

This case study details the implementation of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology at Oerlikon HRSflow, a company specializing in advanced hot runner solutions for the injection molding industry. The objective was to provide over 250 designers with reliable and high-performance workstations that could be easily managed and updated. The solution involved the virtualization of workstations, allowing designers to access their projects remotely from any device while ensuring data centralization and security. The case study outlines the technical specifications of the solution, which utilized Dell Technologies servers, VMware software, and NVIDIA Virtual GPU technology. Key features include centralized maintenance, enterprise security, and optimal performance for CAD applications. The advantages of this approach include increased reliability, high performance, and reduced costs, demonstrating how VDI technology facilitated business continuity across three continents during the pandemic. The collaboration with partners like Dell, VMware, and NVIDIA is highlighted as crucial to the project's success.
