When Hartnell College attempted to deploy VDI across their entire campus, they ran into some problems – primarily, cost of storage and data optimization to support VDI. They quickly began exceeding storage capacity and were unable to provide the performance needed to support the 300-400 concurrent VDI users. They did not know how they were going to reach their goal of supporting 2500 concurrent users. As a result, Hartnell College turned to Unidesk and Tegile Systems for help. With their support, Hartnell College was able to address their needs, save precious dollars and now have a scalable platform to support them in their quest of 2,500 concurrent users – all on a single storage platform.

Topics Covered Include:

  • Reduce your data storage footprint

  • Control costs when deploying a VDI

  • Plan for a successful VDI deployment
