Details

Ministry of Transport's PC configuration is based on virtual desktops, hosted on servers at an external supplier. The Ministry has chosen VMView from VMWare.

The primary applications on the virtual desktop are:

  • OS: Windows 7

  • Libre Office

  • Chrome browser

  • EDRMS system F2


In the decentralized desktop is installed dual boot. The primary boot sector that is Linux based, is merely designed to load VMView client and connect to the VMWare server to start the virtual desktop.

The secondary boot option consists of a standard Ubuntu Linux among others Libre Office, Firefox and Chrome. Ministry of Transport's ERMS system F2 requires Windows, which is why the choice of Windows as an operating system on the virtual desktop.

Ubuntu Linux is installed as a back-up for the virtual desktop, so users can work even in situations where the virtual desktop is down or inaccessible. If an employee is on the road, Ubuntu Linux is started and used, but from the home office staff has direct access to their own virtual desktop over the Internet. The virtual desktop can also be accessed from tablets, etc.

On the hardware side, the Transportation Ministry has chosen to retain the existing PCs that otherwise stood before replacement. The lifespan of PCs expected to be extended from three to six years. Eventually it is possible to replace PCs with thin clients.
