Case Study: University College Dublin achieves 100% student BYOD with Software2 Cloudpaging

Application Virtualization and BYOD at University College Dublin

University College Dublin wanted to support a fully BYOD environment for students and staff, giving them access to academic software on any device, anytime, without the burden of traditional installation and maintenance. Vendor Software2 addressed this challenge with its Cloudpaging application virtualization technology and Application Jukebox service.

Software2 implemented a solution that lets users log in through UCD Connect, launch Application Jukebox, and download any licensed app on demand to their own laptop or device, on or off campus. The result was 100% student BYOD with automatic updates, no installation, and strong user feedback; the most-used apps included Matlab (20%), Stata (17%), RStudio (11%), Reader (9%), and SPSS (8%).
