= General Sessions = Virtual Desktop Infrastructure - Real World Implementation

Morgan County School System
//Wednesday, November 2nd at 8:30//

This situation is all too familiar at schools across the US: classrooms and labs have aging PCs and/or PCs that simply don’t work because they are old, virus-prone and take too much of precious IT resources to maintain. But, all that is changing as schools are turning to desktop and server virtualization to deliver cost-effective solutions that not only eliminate class time interruptions, but also reduce IT support and management costs. With a looming PC refresh across five campuses, Jay Cawley at Morgan County Schools in Georgia, decided to virtualize the desktop environment and replace 1,300 PCs with zero clients. The ability to streamline PC management while creating a sustainable technology infrastructure for years to come, were two of the deciding factors in the move to desktop virtualization. Morgan County turned to VMware View, Cisco UCS, NetApp and Wyse P20 zero client.
