Case Study: Florida Atlantic University delivers personalized virtual desktops with Liquidware ProfileUnity

Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity Helps Re-Engineer Desktops at Florida Atlantic University College of Engineering and Computer Sciences

Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Sciences needed to move its student, faculty, and research desktops to a virtual environment while supporting graphics- and data-intensive engineering applications. The team also had to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7, give students personalized desktops, and store large work files securely in the data center for up to 2500 users and growing.

Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity was used with VMware View to provide user profiles, configurations, and application settings on non-persistent virtual desktops. Florida Atlantic University reported faster logons, secure data storage in the FAU data center, reduced break/fix work, and application updates completed in under 24 hours instead of up to a week.
