HP BladeSystem delivers dividends for data center 
The centerpiece of the project is 300 HP BladeSystem 
servers running Citrix in the Dexia data center. The 
solution replaces 1,100 branch office servers, reducing 
support and management costs. For instance, there was 
no local support in the branch offices so servers required 
costly site visits for repairs and maintenance. The Citrix 
MetaFrame architecture provides a simple and powerful 
way to access content and applications. Says Bouhjar: 

• “In the data center we needed to put as many Citrix 

sessions as possible on one server, and thus reduce the 
number of servers needed. The performance of the HP 
BladeSystem server blades was superior in that regard.” 

• “Another factor in favor of choosing HP for the data 

center server blades was that we were already 
successfully using HP BladeSystem servers for 
headquarters operations. It made sense to work with 
only one vendor at the headquarters location.” 

Dexia invests in HP Thin Clients for branches 
HP proposed the HP Compaq t5720 Thin Client with the 
AMD Geode™ NX 1500 processor to meet Dexia’s 
performance and cost requirements for the new branch 
office computers. Dexia evaluated a number of different 
thin clients Bouhjar states: 

• “The primary evaluation criteria included the power to 

deliver content, such as videos, as well as superior 
manageability. We selected HP not only on the basis of 
the fast speed of the AMD processor, but also the high-
performance video card built into the t5720 Thin 
Client.” 

• “Other vendors had powerful processors, but not the 

video card; or they had a good video card, but not 
good manageability. The HP Thin Clients had the whole 
package.” 

• “When we added up the scores for all criteria, HP had 

the highest score and won the deal for 6,000 Thin 
Clients for the branch offices.” 

The Branch of Tomorrow Mobile Office enables bank staff 
to go to customers’ homes and securely access 
applications and information, within legal restrictions. HP 
Services provided design, assembly, rollout, and 
maintenance for the Mobile Office, which includes an HP 
Deskjet 460 printer and an HP Compaq nc6220 
Notebook PC. 

New infrastructure pays big dividends in mobility 
The new infrastructure gives Dexia staff greater mobility to 
move from branch to branch, to make sales calls in 
customers’ homes, and to work from their own home 
computers. In the past, when product specialists moved 
from one branch to another, they could not access local 
data stored on the server in their assigned branch. Now, 
agents can access the data they need – from any branch. 

The HP Mobile Office lets a bank representative take the 
bank to the customer’s home – with the ability to access 
applications and marketing information, and print 
documents such as product descriptions, cost data, or 
contracts, within legal restrictions. The new architecture 
also allows bank staff to work from home by providing 
Citrix MetaFrame access from their home computers to the 
same applications available in the branch offices. 

HP solutions account for easier banking 
The new banking infrastructure provides consistent, easy-
to-use access to applications and information throughout 
the Dexia banking network. Explains Bouhjar: 

• “It is confusing to have different ways to access the 

bank network. Now, the access process is always the 
same, from branches, the Mobile Office, or at home. 
The user goes to a Web gateway, uses a browser and 
a digital identification pass, and starts a session of
