Georgia Tech Research Institute is requesting an analysis of alternatives of workstation deployment solution that can deploy an operating system to a workstation. This deployment solution must at least be able to deploy Windows 10, Windows 11, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9; support multiple users simultaneously, support various models, and run custom scripts.
The objective of the analysis of alternatives is to provide Georgia Tech Research Institute with one deployment solution that can replace their current software that facilitates this process. There are inefficiencies to resolve in their current environment such as deploying various operating systems and applying packages, updates, and applicable security policies. This multi-step process takes time to attain the desired outcome. By providing an alternate solution, it is foreseeable to provide cost savings along with overall efficiency to Georgia Tech Research Institute.
The project's scope is to conduct a market survey and compile a list of the top ten best-reviewed and used workstation deployment solutions. Once the list is compiled, a selection of the top two solutions will be tested. The solution that satisfies all, if not most, of the highly weighted metrics of requirements outlined will be recommended to Georgia Tech Research Institute for possible implementation.
The Electronic Systems Laboratory (ELSYS) at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is requesting an analysis of alternatives of workstation deployment solution that can deploy an operating system to a workstation. This deployment solution must at least be able to deploy Windows 10, Windows 11, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9; support multiple users simultaneously, support various models, and run custom scripts. The objective of the analysis of alternatives is to provide Georgia Tech Research Institute with one deployment solution that can replace their current software that facilitates this process. There are inefficiencies to resolve in their current environment such as deploying various operating systems and applying packages, updates, and applicable security policies. This multi-step process takes time to attain the desired outcome. By providing an alternate solution, it is foreseeable to provide cost savings along with overall efficiency to Georgia Tech Research Institute. We narrowed the initial field of ten deployment tools down to two for further evaluation, TheOpenEM and Endpoint Central. It is our conclusion that TheOpenEM is the most suitable tool for GTRI. It succeeds at all the deployment tasks, is easier to use, more flexible, and will have a lower total cost of ownership.
