Case Study: Minnesota State Colleges and Universities achieves faster stateless workspace management with Liquidware ProfileUnity and FlexApp

Minnesota State Colleges and Universities reduces login times for 400,000 users with Liquidware

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system faced the challenge of managing user profiles and applications for over 400,000 students and staff across its virtual desktop environment. They required a highly flexible user environment management solution to support non-persistent desktops and sought to significantly reduce operational complexity. They selected Liquidware's ProfileUnity with FlexApp for its unique feature set and application layering capabilities.

Liquidware's solution provided a universal user profile, allowing personalization to persist across any device or location, and enabled on-demand application installation under administrative control. The implementation resulted in significantly reduced login times, automated migrations with zero user downtime, and a major reduction in the number of master images to maintain. The customer also reported granular control over policies and applications, along with comprehensive backup for disaster recovery.
