Business Challenge: Centralizing Management and Removing Manual Tasks
A regional Education Service Center faced growing financial burden due decades of manual and laborious management processes, including an annual desktop refresh cycle. This practice created costly inefficiencies throughout the organization that required intensive labor and computing resources. The organization sought to reduce the quantity of refreshes, repurpose older, well-functioning PCs, improve security and lessen the investment on licensing where applicable. At the same time, the Center wanted to reduce OpEx costs around deployment, provisioning, reimaging, support and ease upgrades to large-scale solutions such as Windows 7. The Center needed a new, more efficient way to manage the more than 600 desktops located across the organization.
The Solution:
The Education Service Center chose to deploy VERDE, a virtualized infrastructure from Virtual Bridges (now available within IBM Virtual Desktop for Smart Business). With this software technology, the Center was able to provide a consistent user experience to students and teachers while significantly streamlining labor costs, extending PC lifecycles and centralizing management. VERDE’s Gold Images allowed the Center to provision new desktops quickly and migrate users from Windows XP to Windows 7 with the click of a button.
Benefits: Reduced total cost of ownership of desktops including time, manpower, and cost of management. Lowered hardware cost per desktop by having students/faculty share a single high powered server. Improved system control and security with a single management console by which to upgrade desktops as needed on a central server. Maximized technology investment by extending the life of PCs and moving to thin clients. Gained flexibility to allow students and faculty to access desktops regardless of location.
“Provisioning desktops used to take hours. Now it takes seconds. Virtual Bridges VERDE has removed the management burden , allowing our team to focus on high-quality advancements that are driving innovation . ”
