administrators, the 30% includes workers at branch sites with advanced level, some with
baccalaureate and some with same certifications who run the cyber. The portion of 50% are those
who do not only have degree but equally masters and had working experience. These sorts of
people were mostly found at the headquarters handling matters which enabled critical thinking to
ensure that the technology which the integrated in the metropolitan area network works to
achieve its best output.

enterprise headquarters and the 40 % that is the marketing and commercial department are the
branch sites which are made up of cyber cafes and other services the offer .

From the above analysis it demonstrations that the sample size is made up of 4 employees (2)
that have been working for less than a year mostly at branch site and the other (2) who have
worked with the DAFC and have a working experience for 2 or more years who have worked on
this diskless workstations and have seen its efficiency in communication especially when treating
task that has to do with client server communication. The 6 are some members of staff like the
human resource manager accountant and the engineers who have mastery in work milieu and
have stayed in service for more than 5 years and are responsible for accountability, management
monitoring and upkeep of the technology for best performance, this implies that more focus is on
the network and the functioning of the diskless at the level of the headquarters and also at branch
site (cybers) where users come for internet services.

A critical look at the table shows that the diskless station offers high speed of delivery of than the
former one which is shown by the response from the respondent above that is70% of the users at
the headquarters are the ones that have frequently used the two technology over time and so
affirm to the speed of delivery. 10% are those who are passively frequent to it and mostly have
little idea of how the former was been used given the other factors that hindered it such as server
malfunctioning. The remaining 20% are those who have no idea so could not make the difference
mostly those at the cyber.

From the data collected above a greater percentage express their opinion on less time, the most
reasons been that there is fast installation of applications and updates across the station. While
the ones for 20% who are of the average opinion are those who sometimes have to wait while the
administrators are doing troubleshooting suspending their task.

From the above we can therefore conclude that the diskless station in itself is profitable to the
enterprise. With its deployment at the level of the branches of the enterprise the technology has
brought much returns through the cybers being used clients that is students, university students
and users in general who make use of it. The cost of implementing is low as compared to a disk
full technology so it profits the enterprise.

From the results above the field work conducted shows that a greater proportion of the users
agree of its availability mostly for users in the enterprise who work with vpns from distance or
back at home continue working. The other percentage are those who cannot use the diskless
services at some particular hours due to some work at the level of the server.

From the information in the table above it shows that 60% of the users are positive towards the
system not running down, those for 20% are sometimes those who were new and never knew
how to handle multitask so the concluded that the system was slow. while the remaining 20% are
passive users who come and go mostly the cyber users or clients.

as a result of much routine.
From the test conducted above we see that 80% of the users are in support of the fact that the
devices are not wearing out because the system come on from the server through the network and
when powered off every information is lost preventing viruses as well as the conditions under
which the machines are kept, the remaining 20% are clients who are of the opinion that its
wearing out mostly because of keyboards that have been used for long and tabs are no longer
functioning.

A look at the table above it shows that to a lesser extent the draw backs are not much through the
respondents’ responses we see that few went in for Yes and Little,10 and 20% making up the
percentage to 30% this mostly came from the fact that the servers needed update sometimes
because the software used was the trial version not bought so it halted them temporarily. While
the remaining 70% were those who were of the opinion that in spite of the update the time taken
for updates were merely few seconds so never really halted their work so systems efficiency was
less hindered by server updates

From the table above, the information gathered we see that 10% are in accord that all the factors
hinder productivity, the other for 20% are of the opinion that the speed to access information and
another 20% talk of communication all these comes from the server if it is down and they are
trying to troubleshoot it then it would restrict access to some data depending on the type of work
they are doing. The rest of the 50% are those who have end to end connection and handle critical
task that runs the majority of the enterprise task.

especially with wireless transmissions and the remaining 50% are those who complain of
chopped up cables by rats.
