System Requirements
| Safety | No risk of data leakage even when PC is lost or stolen. Also prevents intentional leakage by authorised user. |
|---|---|
| Flexibility, applicability | Wide range of applications is available both inside and outside the office. Thin client environment can be utilized anywhere, online or offline. Work can be performed anywhere from any PC. PCs with any Windows version (XP, Vista, 7) can be used. Effective anti-pandemic measure against virus attack. |
| Adaptive security | Security settings and available PC functions can be adjusted according to the operation, environment or user characteristics rather than utilizing uniform security. Automatic switching to in-house, external, online and offline operations. |
| Reduced PC operation cost | Thin client function (data restriction) and PC management function (functional restriction) can be managed in an integrated manner. Administration cost can be reduced significantly as data migration and deletion is performed at the Centre, for example; termination of employment, change of role, etc. |
| Easy migration | Existing PCs can be migrated to thin client status centrally.
No data migration necessary when installing PC with new Windows version (Vista, 7). |
| Application restrictions | Restrictions can be placed on the use of unauthorised applications. Restrictions can be overridden by an authorised administrator. |
| Functional restriction | PC support costs and resources are minimized by controlling inappropriate configuration changes. |
| Minimize downtime from PC breakdowns | Data and 'user environments' are stored at the server level, therefore work can be resumed immediately by replacing the faulty PC. No possibility of losing data during PC repair process, and user-configuration settings and data can be used with replacement PC. No risk of data leakage during repair of PC. |
| Enhanced of data availability | The administrator can consolidate all PC data from the server-side; therefore all PC data can be backed up with minimum trouble. Administration costs can be reduced while improving availability. |
| Support responsiveness | Logs for all in-house, external, online and offline operations are stored at Data Centre. Removal and returning of PCs is recorded automatically. Total control of data taken out for offline use, therefore remedial measures can be taken promptly in case of accidents. Lost data can be restored from server, enabling continuance of business operations. USB stick cannot be used on an unapproved PC (delete function being the only available option). |
| PC reuse or disposal | No cost of cleaning PC disks prior to sale, disposal or redeployment |
| Eugrid Secure Client | (1)Thin Client feature | The system drive of the client PC is read-only and write protected, except for applications with privileged user or administrator rights, which can be written on a selected drive folder. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local user settings are stored on the server/folder specified by the administrator and not on the client PC. User-specified environment and settings such as desktop are always stored on the server together with user data, and are linked dynamically whenever the user logs on to the relevant PC. The administrator can revoke write inhibit features of drives with the exception of the system drive. | |||
| (2)Use of external memory | All external storage devices can be set to either "prohibited use", "read only", or "no restriction" by the administrator | FD | |
| CD, CD-R, DVD | |||
| Externally connected memory such as flash memory, USB memory, SD card, Zip and external HD | |||
| Internal HD excluding system drive (C:) | |||
| (3)Printing | Printing can be activated/disabled | ||
| (4)Windows UI function control | Desktop display and usage, Task Tray display, My Computer display, My Network display, Control Panel display, Printer/Fax display, Help and Support display, Search and Display, Run Command, display All Programs. | ||
| Prohibit running of Task Manager | |||
| (5)Program execution | For All users | Specified application can be started in normal mode (with normal user authorization ) | |
| Specified application can be started with privileged user authorization. | |||
| Specified application can be started with administrator authorization. | |||
| When an application set with privileged user authorization is started on a client, authentication information will be prompted, and access will be denied if the credentials entered are incorrect. | |||
| Application specified with administrator authorization will start running immediately without prompting for authentication information. | |||
| Application with privileged user and administrator authorization permits writing onto specified location of internal HD and making registry changes. | |||
| Following settings can be made for each policy | Default = executable: permit execution of specified application only | ||
| Default = non-executable: prohibit execution of specified application only | |||
| (6)Policy and group association | Above-mentioned (1)-(5) can be set, changed and deleted for online (LAN) environment. Policies can be associated with ActiveDirectory's Organisation Units (OU) or Security Groups. | ||
| Above-mentioned (1)-(5) can be set, changed and deleted for offline (USB memory) environment. Policies can be associated with ActiveDirectory's Organisation Units (OU) or Security Groups. | |||
| Mobile Option | (1)Offline policy and group association | User data stored on the server can be exported using external media. | |
| Policy information is migrated to the external storage media together with the data. When the user logs on to the PC from this storage media in an environment without a LAN connection, the policy set by the administrator for external media (data storage) will be enforced. | |||
| (2)Portable server | USB memory for offline operation (incl. removable HD) is encrypted in AES 256 bit and protected in a special format. Before using this feature, the relevant PC must be logged on and authorized as a Eugrid Client via LAN at least once. | ||
| (3)Portable server initialization | The administrator must initialize the media beforehand. | ||
| (4)Portable server authentication | After the initialization, only the authorised user can open the media. A 'format' prompt will be displayed in the case of invalid access. | ||
| (5)Network block | Connection to all network adapters and communication devices such as via LAN, wireless LAN, PHS, USB during offline usage (outside the office) can also be prohibited. | ||
| (6)Synchronous Server | USB memory can be synchronized with the server for offline use when using the PC outside the office. The server is synchronized with the media when the PC is connected to the LAN after returning to the office. The data downloaded to the portable server continues to be stored on the in-house server. | ||
