Case Study: MATERNA cuts training setup costs by 90% and gains flexible cloud training with Citrix XenDesktop

Training Rooms Migrate to the Cloud

MATERNA, an IT service provider, needed a simpler, more flexible way to run its classroom and customer-site training because each course required custom desktop configurations, costly hardware and hours of manual setup and teardown. The company sought a cloud-based, service-oriented solution to reduce administrative overhead and make training environments accessible from any location and device.

MATERNA built “Training in a Cloud,” combining its DX‑Union and ORBIS software with Citrix XenDesktop and IBM Tivoli to automate provisioning, stream application delivery, and offer a web self-service portal. The result: secure, on-demand virtual training desktops and back-end servers that deploy in minutes, reduce setup costs by about 90%, improve reliability and scalability, and let trainers deliver complex configurations quickly and remotely.
