关于客户
The City of Round Rock, Texas, located 15 miles north of Austin, is the 31st largest city in Texas with a population of approximately 100,000. Major employers in the city include Dell, TECO-Westinghouse, Bass Pro Shops, and Hospira. The city maintains over 400 physical desktop machines and has deployed more than 350 virtual desktops using VMware View. The city government is committed to providing high-quality services to its citizens, who ultimately fund the technology investments. The personnel benefiting from these technologies work across various departments, including police, fire, parks and recreation, finance, and administration.
挑战
The City of Round Rock faced several challenges in improving its VMware View experience, securing and controlling user data, and supporting streamlined and efficient citizen service delivery. A unique issue arose with the transition to virtual desktops, where users wanted to retain personalized settings like desktop wallpapers. This 'kitty cat wallpaper' problem led to resistance in fully utilizing VMware licenses. Additionally, the city needed a solution to provide seamless access to data across various devices and locations, as well as to reduce help desk tickets related to offline file synchronization.
解决方案
To address the challenges, Round Rock deployed AppSense DesktopNow Plus, which allowed user personalized settings to move seamlessly between virtual desktops. This solution extended the value of the VMware View implementation and improved user experience by reducing logon times and help desk tickets related to offline file synchronization. Additionally, the city deployed AppSense DataNow to provide employees with greater access to data from any location, enabling simple, secure access, sync, and sharing of files without data migration or new storage. DataNow made storage locations like file servers and Microsoft SharePoint easily accessible from any device, maintaining a consistent Windows user experience.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
Case Study
Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
