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.
