In November 2015 Terry Halverson, CIO at the Department of Defense, a memorandum published by the introduction of Windows mandating 10th the purpose of his memo was fighter commands, services and agencies to prepare for a Windows standardize 10 baseline.
The primary reason for the rapid migration is security - Windows 10 numerous security benefits, such credential protection, Trusted Boot and built-AV / malware protection provides that cyber challenges in addressing can help today. As outlined in the Communication, the production adoption in January 2016 and should all existing legacy Windows operating systems running out until January 2017. Start This is a daunting task, the Department of Defense is considering estimated running 4 million endpoints have Windows. to meet today
on with several DoD agencies in recent months, a common theme is omnipresent and palpable. ALARM Each creeps to plan this migration, prepare and complete. If the past is any indication, a Windows desktop migration could take months or years of time, effort and cost. Endpoints, application compatibility, hardware drivers, and the sheer size of Windows endpoints in existence, this may be an insurmountable companies make
Note the following common challenges in mind when your agency a Windows plans 10 Migration .:
- Application Compatibility . There is an abundance of applications within the standard desktop images using the DoD used. This COTS and custom applications have been built and tested for current and earlier versions of Windows (XP, Vista, Win7) - and are not guaranteed to run on Windows 10 natively. The series of tests, upgrades and modifications to provide compatibility will take a considerable amount of time and cost. Often internal and integrator application development is slow to update in OS migrations, the matter further complicate. Windows 10 replaced the famous "Internet Explorer" browser with the new 'Edge' browser - a unique challenge to the compatibility of Web-based applications presented that have been built and tested on Internet Explorer. Many of these business-critical applications is heavy lifting required to migrate Windows 10 within the time limit.
- hardware compatibility and procurement costs . Another hurdle that agencies run into the existing hardware that simply do not have Windows 10 may not support older PCs BIOS, graphics cards, network cards and all kinds of peripheral devices for which there is no Windows 10 drivers ready. Instead of encouraging the support of existing hardware, computer hardware manufacturer customers to upgrade their hardware as part of the migration. DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (Stigs) have also been at the top of the curve 10 window to use the require of agencies PCs, embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware to increase military network domains to the cost and complexity join Win 10 adoption.
- The growing mobility challenge . Now that mobility is a reality with the rapid adoption of tablet, smart phones and tablet / PC hybrids at the Pentagon, data security challenges will become even more acute. How is your agency circumvent these ultra mobile devices in a Windows 10 world? Device management has several potential benefits, depending on the operating system, but Data-at-Rest challenges still exist. How can we ensure data security of critical government, as these mobile devices become part of the standard?
agencies are wrestling with these three challenges, have to complete a successful migration, the January 2017 deadline applies.
in the course of the last decade, agencies have proven that the best way to overcome these challenges is to mitigate with virtualization technologies that decouple the operating system and associated applications from the underlying physical hardware. This solution, known as virtual desktops and applications, enables agencies for a smooth transition to Windows 10 to continue the use of existing hardware, while increasing data security. In addition, specialized migration tools predict Windows 10 application compatibility by the possible predestination and provides guidance to tailor how for future usability software.
With virtualized desktops and applications as a service through integrated tools before delivery operations holistic end-to-end improved to determine type of guarantee applications, during and after the 10-migrations from Windows.
