City of Roseville, California

Rapidly growing Roseville, California sought to improve the expense model for 1000 desktop users and enable mobile access to Microsoft Exchange for 300 city workers. This access needed to integrate smoothly with an existing Citrix thin-client and HP storage area network implementation - part of the city's strategy to increase efficiency, improve performance, and cut costs.

Roseville chose HP as its solution provider to update its infrastructure and provide city workers wired and wireless access to Exchange resources from the internal city network, as well as wireless access from non-city network resources.  HP deployed Microsoft® Exchange 2003 mobility services and Outlook Web Access 2003 with HP iPAQ hx4705 Pocket PC devices.
