Top Research University Gains Flexibility With VMware View

A top research university in the United States, the Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) makes its teaching expertise available to working professionals through its Distance Learning and Professional Education (DLPE) program. Their challenge is to simplify desktop management with single image across hardware platforms, provide remote desktop access for DLPE employees and increase organization's flexibility to change, grow and collaborate worldwide. The Georgia Institute of Technology chose VMware to overcome these challenges. They implemented Virtualize desktops to streamline image management which enable access to rich desktop environments from any location. The results of deploying VMware Virtualize desktops raised staff productivity by providing access to desktops at any time or place, supported organizational change, growth and service innovation and ease worldwide collaboration with clients.
