Expanding student learning opportunities
The ability to add graphic acceleration to our VDI deployments allows us to
virtualize the delivery of CAD/CAM and robotics applications. By using virtual
desktops, the district can extend industrial technology, 3D animation, and video
game development classes to multiple labs, bringing cutting-edge learning
opportunities to more students.

“With Cisco UCS and NVIDIA GRID cards boosting performance, we can offer
virtual, high-performance workstations,” says Troudy. “Before, we didn’t have
enough physical machines to deliver these types of classes effectively.”

“We’ve seen a night and day difference in the
end-user experience,” says Troudy. “Teachers are excited and talking to their

Maintenance and deployment in minutes
The ability to maintain desktop images centrally and instantly roll out and
update applications has changed the game for the district’s IT staff—and is
much more cost-effective. “Cisco Capital® Leasing helped us do the most
with our operating budget,” says Troudy.

“We now have one tech for every 2500 computers,” says Troudy. “We can
respond to issues in minutes instead of days or weeks. And because zero
clients have no moving parts, we can shift to a nine-year refresh cycle.”

“We started our VDI pilot with 300 users on an HP BladeSystem,” says Troudy.
“But as we scaled into the thousands, it became clear we needed servers and
storage that were up to the task.”
