Use cases may be a kiosk or call center use case which do not require a personalized desktop environment and the application stack is static. Standard Workload Characterization Standard User workload profile consists of knowledge worker activities: , typical office productivity applications, multimedia and web browsing for research/training. There is minimal image personalization required in a standard user workload profile. The workload requirement most closely matches the majority of office worker profiles in terms of CPU, memory, network and Disk I/O. Premium Workload Characterization The Premium User workload is an advanced knowledge worker. All office applications are configured and utilized along with multimedia content. The user has moderate-to-large file size (access, save, transfer requirements). There is graphics creation or editing done for presentations or content creation.
