Why VNC? NX or just plain x11 window forwarding.
Maybe they want all their IC data on a server that gets backed up, etc as opposed to littered on a bunch of random desktops that might or might not be backed up.
- madengr 12y agoI forgot to add, it's actually worse, in that it's Cadence running on Linux under a VM on some Windows server, which itself is probably a VM. Remote Desktop is allowed to the host running the VM, but not into the VM itself. We had a centralized Linux server and tape system backing up all the Linux workstations, but they fired the guy who ran that server due to stack ranking; i.e. firing 10-15% of you staff yearly, even though he was a really sharp guy. IT rules the roost around here, even though we are an engineering company that produces physical items; not software. It's supposed to be the other way around; IT is supposed to provide a service.
