Case Study: El Camino Hospital achieves 78% faster Windows logons and drives VDI success with AppSense Environment Manager
A AppSense Case Study
El Camino Hospital - Customer Case Study
El Camino Hospital, a nonprofit healthcare provider with campuses in Mountain View and Los Gatos serving over 3,200 staff and 1,500 physicians, was implementing a VDI program to deliver consistent, secure desktops across locations and devices. The IT team faced long Windows logon times (up to 1 minute 30 seconds), inconsistent user personalization, multiple logins within clinical workflows, and difficulties managing location-based printing as clinicians moved between floors and sites.
By deploying AppSense Environment Manager alongside VMware Horizon View, El Camino applied policy at application execution and cut average Windows logon time from 90 seconds to about 20 seconds (a 78% reduction). The solution delivered consistent, personalized desktops, enabled dynamic printer switching by location, simplified policy management, reduced the number of images/pools and custom scripting (by ~75%), and ultimately drove the success of their VDI program.
