Case Study: University of York achieves a successful Windows 7 migration with Cloud Pro

Virtualisation helps University of York migrate from XP

The University of York needed to move off Windows XP but was held back by specialist estate-management software and academic applications that only worked on XP. Cloud Pro, using Dell Wyse vWorkspace virtualization, helped the university overcome these compatibility issues and modernize its IT estate.

Cloud Pro’s solution allowed the University of York to virtualize apps and desktops and complete the move to Windows 7. The system also gave IT better control over software licensing, including revoking access when students left, while improving the experience for students and staff.
