Description
Due to the COVID-19 crisis of 2020, most organizations had to re-adapt their working routines, permitting their employees to work remotely instead of at the office. The CTBTO was no exception, in March 2020 and again in November 2020, all CTBTO employees including waveform (SHI) and radionuclide (RN) analysts were mandated to work from home. The challenge that arose for us in IMS/NSS, was preparing a setup fit for SHI and RN analysts to securely work remotely and reliably, without compromising on efficiency. At the office, each analyst is equipped with a Linux workstation, and due to the nature of the analysis software that requires a dual monitor setup, two monitors with a 1920 X 1200 resolution. To meet the reported challenge, this setup had to be replicated at home. This presentation describes the complete solution that was deployed and its dependencies, and the influence it had on the analysts’ working routines.
