Case Study: Dublin Business School achieves flexible campus-wide virtual desktops and 40% faster logins with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box and NetScaler
A Citrix Case Study
Empowering students with virtual desktop technology
Dublin Business School (DBS), Ireland’s largest independent third‑level college with 9,500 students, faced rigid IT lab constraints that limited course variety and flexibility. Labs were tied to specific installed applications, restricting timetabling and hampering plans to launch new, more demanding IT courses while students also experienced slow logins and application load times.
DBS worked with Unity Technology Solutions to deploy Citrix VDI‑in‑a‑Box and NetScaler Access Gateway, delivering centrally managed virtual desktops accessible from any campus PC. The solution freed up classroom scheduling, enabled blended learning and future BYOD use, cut login times by 40% and application launch times by 50%, reduced support calls, and let a single admin manage sessions with a 12‑hour software update turnaround.
