An HP-UX workstation, on the other hand, is appropriate if the engineer utilizes very complex Computer Aided Design and Analysis tools for extremely large data sets or relies on absolutely critical availability or even fast process I/O performance. Whether NT or HPUX is chosen, the same administration processes and functions must be maintained (e.g. user accounts, print spooling, etc.). Network infrastructure must also be expanded and reevaluated or perhaps re-designed, as new workstations are added and/or changed. In addition, careful thought must be given to whether an interoperable and enterprise extensible file system is to be based on a UNIX-centric approach (i.e. DFS), or an NT centric approach (i.e. SMB). 02/04/00 HP VISUALIZE WORKSTATIONS 4
