Apple architecture in a business environment

I'm setting up the IT for a new building that my business is moving to, and I want to know if implementing an Apple solution is suitable or not? And if so, what is the architecture design required?
The mangling director and directors will each have an office, and their own meeting room.  I'm thinking that each of them could have an iPad, with a 50" TV in their meeting room so that they could mirror their iPad onto the screen to show people in a meeting their work.  Is there any issues with multiple Apple TV's with multiple iPads?  Is it worth having central storage on a server to save data? Is it worth connecting to an Apple TV or should they connect via VGA / HDMI cable? Also, what would happen when all the directors have a meeting together, is it easy for them to connect to a different Apple TV, and would there be any conflicts when trying to connect.
Would it be better if they had an iMac instead if iPad?
Has anyone implemented Apple into their business and if so how did you do it and was it a success?

  • I would like to setup Apple TV in a business environment on a guest Wi-Fi and cannot get out to iTunes with Apple ID?

    I would like to get Apple TV working in a business environment but when I try to login to iTunes or iCloud using Apple ID no connection is made. I have verified network settings and am getting a DHCP address but is there something in the Access Point for the Wi-Fi connection I need to do? I also cannot see Airplay from any device iPad or iPhone.

  • Video Editing in a Business Environment

    Hi all,
    We are about to put together a video editing workstation in a business environment.
    First, we wanted to go for Mac, but this is an IT no-go.
    We are not editing professionals, our purpose is to edit business videos in reasonable speed with easy software.
    We have an AVCHD Camera from Canon which can shoot full HD, even though we might stick to a lower resolution.
    Software wise we have Premiere Pro CS4 (no upgrade to CS5 in sight) and will most likely replace it with Premiere Elements 9, because feature-wise its enough for what we need it and its easier to use for now.
    Hardware wise, our business IT proposes one of the following options:
    1. Dell Precision T3500 V2
    Chassis: Dell Precision T3500
    Processor: One Intel Xenon W3503 (2.4GHz 4.8GT/s, 4MB,DC)
    Memory: 4GB (2x2048 MB) 1333MHz DDR3 ECC-UDIMM
    Fixed Disk: 250GB (15,000rmp) SAS Hard Drive
    Graphics Card: 512MB nVidia Quadro FX580 Graphics Card
    Controller Card: SAS 6i/R controller card
    CD-Rom Drive: 16x DVD+/- RW Drive
    2. Chassis: Dell Precision T5500
    Processor: One Intel Xeon E5506 (2.13GHz, 4.8GT/ s,4MB)
    Memory: 4GB (1x2048 + 2x1024) 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Fixed Disk: 300GB (15,000rpm) SAS Hard Drive
    Graphics Card: 768MB nVidia Quadro FX1800 Graphics Card
    CD-Rom Drive: 16x DVD +/- RW Drive
    3. Chassis: Dell Precision T5500
    Processor: One Intel X5550 (2.6GHz, 6.4 GT/s, 8MB, QC) Memory runs at 1333 MHz
    Memory: 4GB (1x2 GB + 2x1GB) 1066MHz DDR3 ECC-UDIMM
    Fixed Disk: 300GB (15,000rpm) SAS Hard Drive
    Graphics Card: 1.5GB Quadro NIVIDIA Fx4800-2DP, 1 DVI (1DP- DVI, 1DVI- VGA Adapter) (HEGA16)
    Controller Card:  SAS 6i/R controller card
    CD-Rom Drive: 16x DVD- ROM Laufwerk
    4. Monitors
    TFT 17" Dell 17" E170S 1280 x 1024 bei 60 Hz
    TFT 19" Dell 19" E190S 1280 x 1024 bei 60 Hz
    TFT 20" Dell 20" 2007 FP 1600 x 1200 bei 60 Hz
    TFT 22" Dell 22" E2210 1680 x 1050 bei 60 Hz
    TFT 24" Dell 24" P2411H  1920 x 1080 bei 60 Hz
    My questions are:
    1. It seems clear to me, that from the above, Nr.3 T5500 should be selected, but maybe its overkill for Premiere Elements and its costly. What would you select?
    2. What are the bottlenecks/shortcomings of the system you selected under question 1, beside the harddrive?
    3. Whats, in your opinion, is the minimum requirement for a video editing Monitor?
    4. If we just look at graphics performance and think about the price, could there be an alternative configuration like: Nr.2 plus a complete different graphics card?
    5. Does the change to Premiere Elements have a big impact on graphics performance (same graphics card, different performance between Elements & Pro)?
    6. Is there a list with compatible graphics cards that is available for Premiere Elements? (I just know the one for Premiere Pro)
    Thanks a lot

    Welcome to the forums!  My suggestion is start and do extensive reading this forum.  Most of your questions have been discussed and answered. You are fortunate that your IT people have made you look at PC's as currently they outperform similar configured Mac's and cost you much less.
    Stay away from single Xeon processor systems.  There is no advantage to a single Xeon processor over a single i7-9xx processor
    If you want some real quick configuration performance information take a look at our PPBM5 Benchmark data.
    If you have to go Dell plan on enhancing it with much lower cost add on's like disk drives and memory
    If you want the best bang for the buck with a real system designed specifically for video editing look at ADK  
    If you really want to edit you need 6 times your 4 GB configurations.
    Stay away from the Quadro cards they currently do not improve the performance and they cost a lot.
    SAS drives are good performers but are not ideal it is better to spend your money with 2 to 3 times more disk drives than a few expensive drives.

  • ITunes install a Business Environment - Is there a Business install?

    OK, so I am in a Business Environment (GOV) and at present, we do not install "iTunes" on our Network systems... we mandate what is installed...
    We would like to control what our users installed on our systems, so it is now on my plate that we need to install iTunes. (We are now testing iPhones) So with the introduction of the iPhone to our Network, i will need to install iTunes. There is no custom install and the default install install things we may not need, i.e.Bonjour Service...
    Is there a way to custom the install of iTunes?
    What are all the services that the default install of iTunes installs?
    Is there a custom iTunes install for a Corp Environment?
    tks

    Thanks DatabaseSAP.
    Well, I don't have access to SolMan (I'm only an ABAP developer), so I'll ask the admin to check that.
    Maybe the side-effect report doesn't exist yet because the information is not stored in the SAP notes database: for usual ABAP notes (support packages), the corrective notes are filled inside the "Correction instructions" section, which do not exist for kernel corrections (of course, because it's not ABAP). The only thing that is documented at kernel Notes is the "Related notes" section (for instance, see 1103916), I don't think it means these are corrective notes, so an exhaustive manual control (by reading) seems mandatory.
    I close the thread now, but feel free to add any comments (and if I have new I will update it).

  • Am I licensed to use the Acrobat Standard XI bundled with Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Scanner in business environment?

    Dear Sir/ Madam,
    Am I licensed to use the Acrobat Standard XI bundled with Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Scanner in business environment?
    I just bought a Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Scanner. It comes with an Acrobat Standard XI and a product key. My understanding is that many Adobe product licence keys (e.g. educational version, home use version) are not allowed to use in business environments. My bundled Acrobat Standard XI does not state that it is limited for educational or home use on the CD. Am I licensed to install it in my office computer for business use? Is there anyway for me to review the licensing conditions of my product key?
    Thank you very much for your advice in advance!
    William

    Adobe software purchased appropriately can be used in any environment the licensed user has. There is no restriction (at least in the USA) on educational customers using the educational license for professional use. I am unaware of any home use versions of Adobe software. There are versions of Adobe software that are directed toward non-professionals (for example Premiere or Photoshop Elements), but there are no restrictions to using in a business as long as it is used by the person it was purchased for (one license-one user). Years ago other countries had different license agreements, but in today’s environment, I do not believe that is the case for current versions of Adobe software. So, yes you can use it in your business. In fact, Fujitsu Scanners like the ScanSnap are geared towards the business user. I am a very happy user of their 1500M scanner (which while designed for a Mac, came with Acrobat Standard software :-)

  • Spiceworks Implemented and Used in a Business Environment

    Are there any spiceheads near Jasper, IN that has Spiceworks set up and using in a business environment that would be willing to demonstrate capabilities and their setup?
    I have a setup at home but I do not have many devices to manage or a multitude of applications. Additionally, I do not have much time to do anything with my setup.
    I am not sure the extent of Spiceworks. There seems like there would be many nice features that could be very beneficial in a business environment. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get Spiceworks implemented into my current working environment. 
    I would love to get it implemented there but have not found the key reason why we would need it or how it will make us more productive or efficient.
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    And that is exactly meant to mean what? You need to be a lot more specific. You know, I could play dumb and pretend I didn't even know what "Citrix" is (A toilet cleaner based on Citric acid perhaps?). You have to provide exact version numbers, system specs, configurations and what you plan to do. There are specific technical limitations on running CS products in virtual environments and it may even be a breach of the licensing terms depending on what licesne you actually have. A lot more to it than just your generic question.

  • After updating my iPad 2 it locked up and now displays an apple and a rotating busy symbol, for hours now. What can I do ?

    after updating my iPad 2, through itunes, the iPad has locked up and diplays an apple and a rotating "busy" button
    hours later it is still the same and dosen't respond to any switches. Any ideas?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Otherwise you could try this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097

    The only real choice is FileMaker Pro unless you are a programmer. There are other databases but they are either very light weight or something a programmer would be required to set up.

  • Migrate from Panther to Tiger - Business environment - Is it worth it?

    Hi,
    I would like to find out from you 'out there' what are the pro's and con's upgrading and migrating 30 user's from Panther to Tiger that use Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite 1 (CS1), Quark 6.1?
    What benefits, if any, can Tiger provide the end user in a working environment?
    These are iMac G5 1.6GHz, Dual 2.0GHz G5 and PowerBook users!
    Any feedback is Thank'd in Advance!!!

    First, I would urge you to read the following: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=707854&#707854. Second, check out Apple's website on OS X and explore its content to determine if there are features in Tiger that you feel would be of sufficient benefit to your installation to warrant the upgrade. Consider also the minimal hardware requirements (especially video card requirements) and whether you would need to invest in hardware upgrades. Review the following items on compatible and incompatible software to determine what software upgrades will be required.
    http://www.macintouch.com/tigercompat.html
    http://www.macintouch.com/tigerreview/incompatibility.html
    Last, review the following on the installation process:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607363&#607363
    Based on an analysis of benefits and costs you should then be able to make an intelligent business decision whether to upgrade to Tiger.

  • Apple ID - Lack of Business Support

    Dear Community,
    I am coming to you asking for advice. I tried everything else, but I simply ran out of options. Here's the story:
    I run a voip business - we develop a software to handle wholesale operations. It is natural that 99.9% of this market is based on international deals. Therefore I do travel a lot. I have a business presence in a couple of countries in EU and in the US.
    Few years ago we've migrated our hardware platform to Mac, followed by purchasing a couple of iphones, ipads, etc. The business itself isn't big - mostly me and my contractors, but we still left a considerable amount of money in Apple's pocket. Recently, however, it turned out Apple is not really ready for international customers.
    The biggest and most important issue is with the Apple ID accounts. I have one of them in the EU and one in the US. The European one is mostly used for software and hardware registration, while the US one was used primarily for iOS content (apps, multimedia and in-app purchases). The reason for such a decision was that iOS devices are more portable (after all I don't always take my whole office with me when I travel), and I also assumed that since Apple has a huge US customer base, they surely must be used to those people travelling abroad. Both accounts are linked to valid CCs, with valid billing addresses in those two regions.
    However, recently Apple decided to ban all my in-app purchases on the US account. I simply cannot buy anything from inside the apps - which is mostly painful when you consider newspapers (the main content is in fact the in-app purchase). I have tried contacting iTunes support a couple of times, but I could as well try talking to my hairdryer or garage door. The response has always been a link to terms&conds, without a single word of explanation.
    In my 10 year IT practice I used to talk to a LOT of different support representatives. Sometimes on the phone, sometimes via email. This has been by far the WORST of them all. It can be pretty much automated using:
    customer_question >> /dev/null
    wait(24h+rand(-6,6))
    send_random_response()
    Can you please let me know how I can get a proper response from Apple in that matter? Phone support says mail iTunes support. iTunes support is as helpful as a batch of copy-pasta monkeys. I have spent some serious amount of money for the iOS purchases and if I had to re-purchase it again using the other account it would cost me more than a new mbpr! Besides, none of these two countries match where I am now, not to mention where I'm gonna be in 2 weeks. I have tried using VPNs througs our office, but it doesn't help.
    The other thing is - how can I purchase Apple Care for my devices that will be valid world-wide? Region-bound warranty extension are of no worth to me, as the chance that I will be in the same country when the device breaks is like 1.72%.
    Thanks for the time you spent reading my post, I'm desperate for any clues!

    You are alone.

  • How to use AppStore in business environment

    Hi Community,
    I've a few questions about the usage of the AppStore in business environments.
    We have round about 25 Macs in our office.
    Nobody of our users have an AppleAccount or an Apple-ID.
    Not every Mac have an internet connection.
    Nobody own a credit card from the company.
    Okay, I have an Apple-ID but only for my own personal usage combined with my own personal and private credit card. But I don't want to pay the company bills with my credit card. Can I create an Apple Account for business usage without having a credit card from the company? Like Amazon, where we have a business account and where we pay our bills by direct debit. This works fine, is there a possibility to pay in AppStore by direct debit?
    Next problem is that most of our Macs doesn't have an Internet connection. We are working for some government agencies and therefore we have strong limitations. How can we install software on these machines? Is it possible to download software on my Mac (with Internet connection), with the AppleAccount I addressed in the point above and put this installer on one of these machines?
    If this is possible, how can I install a software on more of these machines without an Internet connection? How will the system verify if the licence is still valid and not registered by another machine?
    For example we need Xcode on every machine and I download Xcode from Apples AppStore, do I have to download it as often as I need the software or only download it one time, what is useful because otherwise we would wasting bandwidth. What I've to do in such a case? Pay 10 times, download only one time and install it 10 times? And maybe I will get it for free because of my Apple Developers account, how can I pay with my business account for the others? If it is free, I've no other possibilities.
    Another example, we are downloading a Lion Installer for multiple machines, how does the target system (without Internet connection) verify that the target hardware originally was shipped with Lion (because reinstalling the operating system for example) and doesn't need a bought licence? Otherwise the opposite scenario is, we want to install Lion on a machine where we have to buy a licence. How can I respect this differences when I have only one "master administration machine" who is allowed to download and buy software?
    Can I use a Mac in future without an Internet connection?
    Maybe someone can bring some light into this dark and cold prospect.
    Thanks in advance & bye Tom

    At the moment there is now way you can get Volume Licensing for Mac OS X outside US (at least none that I've been able to find).
    This subject is also discussed HERE and, until now, no user or Apple official has been able to give us an answer to this question.
    Hopefully they care enough about their customers to, at least, give us a time interval until Mac OS X Lion will be available for businesses outside US.

  • HT4972 How to Backup iPad2 in Business Environment?

    Hi Everyone!
    I have a few question about backing up/Updating the iPad2. We have a few people at work that the job has provided them with ipads. We have already set up the ipads for the users, but I am a little fuzzy on how to make sure all data is backed up and about installing updates.
    1st question:  When attaching the ipad to itunes and right clicking the device and then selecting Backup, does this back up all that is on the ipad; music, apps, pics and ect? Is there a way to back up documents and settings within apps, such as notes saved in certain notepad apps?
    2nd: What is the best way to backup everything for a user? I want to monthly do a backup for the users and also backup the backup on itunes to a folder on a server on our network.
    Basically, I just want to get any advice/info from someone who may know the best way to back up all data on the ipad incase a users ipad decides to die or if needed for after updating a device.

    This really depends on how you are managing the devices insofar as how much control you are giving the users is concerned. If they all have their own apple id and their own computer with their own itunes account and they have Apple computers you can have them back up to itunes and have time machine back up the computer.  You could also set the tablets to back up  automatically  to iCloud with the users apple id and not use itunes at all. There are too many unknowns about your environment to offer specific advice.
