OSTI ID:5422451
The increasing number of personal desktop computer users, coupled with rapidly changing personal desktop computer technology, has increased the demand for computing services. However, for many computing centers, budgets have not increased as rapidly as the demand for services. Providing personel desktop computing recommendations and encouraging users to follow them are effective means of meeting demands for computing services, even while operating within a constant or slowly growing budget. Providing personal desktop computing recommendations reduces evaluation costs, shifts the burden of evaluation, eases acquisition, encourages expertise, and expedites the repair of personal desktop computers. In this paper, we discuss issues associated with managing personal desktop computers, present the benefits of providing personal desktop computing recommendations, propose a process and suggestions for making these recommendations, and discuss our experiences with personal desktop computing recommendations at Argonne National Laboratory.
