Case Study: Toyo Denso achieves 12× reduction in terminal maintenance costs and seamless UNIX/Windows operations with OpenText Exceed onDemand

Electronic Components Company Simultaneously Operates Multiple Environments with Exceed onDemand

Toyo Denso Technical Center (TEC), a designer and manufacturer of electrical components for automobiles and motorbikes, faced the costly burden of supporting both legacy UNIX and newer Windows versions of high-end 3D design applications. Maintaining expensive UNIX terminals and duplicated environments drove high operation and administration workloads during the transition to newer software.

TEC deployed OpenText Exceed onDemand, a PC X server that lets standard Windows desktops run UNIX X applications over the network. After validation and multi-user testing, the solution cut terminal maintenance costs by a factor of 12, enabled access to multiple application versions on Windows workstations, and delivered significant space, power and administration savings for a modest initial investment.
