Key Enabler: Unidesk & “Layers” Full personalization supports all use cases, even demanding faculty Local storage, small footprint, and single management solution brings VDI investment in-line with buying new PCs Single image management of OS and all apps reduces staff OpEx 8 Office of Information Technology | May 11, 2011

12. Success: Remote Access Easier “I work primarily from home. The virtual desktop is SO much better than VPN, which I used for almost three years. With VDI I can work virtually (no pun intended...well, maybe) as long as I want without worrying about the connection shutting down and disrupting my work. As a result, I accomplish more in less time.” - Admissions staff member Office of Information Technology | May 11, 2011 12
13. Success: Convenient & Easy to Use “…I have enjoyed the use of the virtual desktop for my class. It has been very convenient to be able to access applications from a separate computer without taking up memory space on the computer that I was actually using. The Virtual Desktop became even more convenient when it was available for us to use on our computers in the comfort of our rooms. Sure there were a few bugs but there was always a computer available that was up and running to complete the necessary assignments for my class. Besides being convenient, it was very easy to use as well. The set up for my own computer was easy to follow and took no time at all.” - Accounting student Office of Information Technology | May 11, 2011 13
