BT's Systems

[edit]

Introduction

[edit]

We need to consider BT's systems at three layers:

  • Services (that is information sources)
  • Gatekeeper systems (that is, systems which allow users to get to the services)
  • Client side

Client Side

[edit]

The following are the ways of accessing BT systems the all need a BT Build laptop

  • Directly connected to BT Network
  • idesk (Citrix client) this comes with 6-digit and 8-digit fobs
  • thinapps (Citrix client)
  • VPN - as if directly connected, but remotely.

Direct connection to the BT Network

[edit]

As the name implies, you are physically in a BT location connected to the internal network

idesk

[edit]

idesk is a Citrix client session. In its 6-digit fob version it gives access to a fixed desktop, while the 8-digit fob version gives wider access. However, only applications placed on the desktop are available

thinapps

[edit]

thinapps is another Citrix client session, giving freer access.

VPN

[edit]

VPN access gives access as if connected to the BT network. BT are not prepared to grant VPN access to anyone other than BT staff.
