Principled Technologies, Inc.: ClearCube PC Blade vs. thin client

performance in typical office application scenarios

Test network setup

Some setup steps were the same for all three test networks, while others were specific to each network.

We performed the initial setup of the shared file server the same way on all three test networks. The first

subsection below outlines that process. The thin clients do not have disks, so the file server held both their

applications and the test data. For the ClearCube Model R1200 PC Blade test network, the file server held only

the test data; we installed the applications locally, as typical users would.

The subsequent subsections discuss each test network and the steps we took to set it up. Each of those

discussions includes three sections:

• Instructions for setting an additional server: The Sun Ray 2 thin clients required a special Sun server.

• Test network-specific setup instructions for the file server. On each thin client test network, the file server

also ran the software necessary to support the thin clients. We outline the steps necessary to set up that

software in this section.

• Instructions for setting up the clients.
