Need some help with your WSOD? For those of you who are in need of assistance in getting your workstations running with WorkSpace On-Demand, our Rapid Deployment Team (RDT) has two new special bid offerings to help get you where you want to be. They are offering The IBM WorkSpace On-Demand Feature for PC DOS 2000 and Windows 3.1 Clients and The WorkSpace On-Demand Feature for Remote Client Connection. The IBM WorkSpace On-Demand Feature for PC DOS 2000 and Windows 3.1 Clients special bid expands the client management capabilities of WorkSpace On-Demand. The feature allows PC DOS 2000 and/or Windows 3.1 Clients to be managed by WorkSpace On-Demand. This helps customers avoid costly hardware and software upgrades to get the productivity of PCs with the cost savings of a centralized management environment. PC DOS 2000 is a Year 2000 ready operating system that supports the euro currency symbol. The WorkSpace On-Demand Feature for Remote Client Connection special bid provides a software methodology to emulate the two popular hardware remote boot chips in use today. To help protect your current hardware investments, this feature eliminates the need to upgrade existing network adapter cards that do not provide pre-boot capability by emulating two remote boot chips: RIPL and PXE. Now, existing PC systems, without addressable LAN cards, can function in the entire WorkSpace On-Demand environment without any physical intervention by administration. The working relationship between your staff and the IBM Network Computing Software RDT helps transfer valuable network computing skills to your company.

So are you ready? It's not like we didn't know it was going to happen, or like we can delay it even one minute. IBM is ready to help you with services, information, and products that will help you get through this event.
