Computer installation lines, Germany

A branch office of the leading independent provider of IT infrastructure services and solutions in Europe needed a way to quickly and easily install and update servers, desktops and laptops. The installation process
happens in a hall at around 160 workbenches with up to 8 or 16 simultaneous computer installations per bench.


A KVM switch per bench broadcasts the installation steps to each of the computers taking files from a central storage
system.
