Over the last 10 years, TRW's Digital CAD capability has evolved from VAX mainframes to a network of UNIX servers and clients. During that time, much effort has been spent developing the client/server environment to be reliable, consistent, and high performance. This presentation will discuss insights and lessons learned in organization structure, staffing, network configuration, UNIX client configuration, software configuration, training, and software support.
