TrimClients provide a totally locked-down desktop environment with all the advantages of thin clients.

Cybersource products manager Ron Fabre said the goal of the rollout was to prevent users from making any changes whatsoever to the system or applications. This includes no new drivers, no Internet access, and complete safety from all malware.

"Their in-depth risk analysis led them to understand that our TrimClient solution was the best option for giving their users a fully-featured desktop experience, but within a totally managed, zero-administration and locked-down environment," Fabre said.

The network was built on commodity hardware, incorporating a load-balanced/redundant array of system image servers.

New TrimClients can be added to the network in minutes, even by non-technical staff.
