Colleges and universities today face several challenges supporting students, faculty, and staff with current technology. For example, the increasing demand for connecting a wider variety of BYOD devices places strain on understaffed IT resources. In addition, growing student bodies necessitate the deployment of more desktops, yet schools have limited amounts of IT funds. Many campuses also have needs for increased security, as well as a lower energy footprint.

How then, can education institutions meet these challenges while ensuring their campuses have the IT support needed to be productive and successful? In the case of Florida Atlantic University, they recently turned to a virtualized desktop infrastructure by outfitting computer labs and faculty offices with ViewSonic® SC-Z55 zero clients. Engineered to support VMware Horizon View, the SC-Z55 was fully compatible with FAU’s existing IT infrastructure, and was a perfect fit for both the university’s budget and green policies. Equipped with ViewSonic’s SC-Z55 zero clients, FAU began to immediately reap the many benefits of a VDI solution including the following:

• Novos laboratórios de informática começaram a funcionar em poucos dias, em vez de semanas, e estações de trabalho individuais foram reaproveitadas ou atualizadas em apenas algumas horas.


• A segurança, a manutenção e o gerenciamento centralizados de recursos de computação economizam tempo e dinheiro e reduzem significativamente o TCO.


• Os laboratórios de informática são mais frescos e silenciosos, com menor custo de eletricidade, e o design montável do SC-Z55 libera espaço valioso na mesa.

To learn how FAU utilized ViewSonic’s SC-Z55 zero clients to virtualize desktops, read the full case study here.

From interactive whiteboards, to HD projectors, to PCs and tablets, technology in the classroom is nothing new. But an innovative method of teaching that brings technology out of the classroom and into the home is gaining ground in many schools across the country. This new teaching model is called the “Flipped Classroom” and it utilizes quick, online teacher-created videos that students typically watch after school, at home. If students don’t have a computer or an online connection at home, they can access lessons at public libraries or stay after school to watch the online lessons. Traditional “homework” is then worked on with the teacher the next day in the classroom.

By delivering instruction online and out of class, and bringing homework into the classroom, this “flipped” methodology benefits students and teachers in a number of ways.

By watching lectures at home, students can go at their own pace, take notes, and write down any questions they may have from the lecture. Students can even rewind lectures to memorize and master certain lessons. In the classroom, teachers now have more time to spend helping students 1 on 1. As a result of this 1 on 1 interaction, teachers can revisit concepts that students may not have understood at home, teachers can answer each student’s questions individually, and student frustration is minimized.

In addition, extra class time is also used to do labs or interactive activities that help to further illustrate the lessons. In short, a creative and collaborative learning environment is fostered within the classroom where teacher-student relationships are much stronger when compared to those of traditional teaching methods. Ultimately, schools that have adopted a “Flipped Classroom” methodology report higher test scores and decreased behavior problems amongst their students.

What do you think about the “Flipped Classroom” methodology? Let us know here on the blog.

Duas das soluções de software mais populares para infraestrutura de desktop virtual são Citrix XenDesktop e VMware View. Ambas as soluções têm seus pontos fortes, mas qual é a escolha certa para a implementação de VDI na sua organização? Aqui estão algumas comparações rápidas para ajudá-lo a decidir:

Flexibilidade de infraestrutura

• VMware View foi projetado para funcionar apenas com servidores ESX e ESXi que devem fazer parte de um servidor vCenter


• O Citrix XenDesktop foi projetado para XenServer, mas é flexível o suficiente para ser executado em vSphere ou Microsoft® Hyper-V

Suporte ao cliente

• Tanto VMware quanto Citrix oferecem suporte completo para clientes Windows, Mac e Linux


• O suporte Apple® iOS e Google® Android™ está disponível para VMware e Citrix


• Tipos de clientes menos populares são suportados por ambas as plataformas: VMware suporta Kindle Fire, Citrix suporta cliente Java

Tipos de desktops virtuais

• Tanto o VMware View quanto o Citrix XenDesktop oferecem suporte a pools de desktops virtuais nos quais os usuários estão conectados a um desktop aleatório do pool


• Tanto o VMware View quanto o Citrix XenDesktop oferecem suporte a desktops virtuais dedicados atribuídos a usuários específicos.


• Tanto o VMware View quanto o Citrix XenDesktop suportam o modo offline que permite que a VM de um usuário seja copiada para um dispositivo físico para que o desktop virtual possa ser usado offline

conectividade

• Tanto o VMware View quanto o Citrix XenDesktop oferecem suporte à conectividade do cliente por meio do Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) da Microsoft


• VMware View também suporta PCoIP


• O XenDesktop também suporta o protocolo HDX (High Definition Experience) da Citrix

Como você pode ver nos marcadores acima, o VMware View e o Citrix XenDesktop compartilham muitos dos mesmos recursos, embora tenham alguns recursos exclusivos. Quais desses recursos são mais adequados para sua própria implementação de VDI? Deixe-nos saber aqui no blog.
