Case Study: Dayton Superior achieves faster logins, anytime, anywhere access, and zero printing tickets with VMware Horizon

VMware vRealize Code Stream Management Pack for IT DevOps Solution Brief

Dayton Superior, a leading North American manufacturer of concrete accessories founded in 1924 and based in Miamisburg, Ohio, needed a modern desktop solution for its increasingly mobile workforce. Its decade-old terminal services environment was slow, unreliable, inflexible, lacked mobile-device support and customization, and generated about 50 printing-related help‑desk tickets per week.

Working with VMware Professional Services and a Dedicated Technical Account Manager, Dayton Superior deployed VMware Horizon 6 and AirWatch Secure Content Locker across 35 locations in five months, replacing terminal services and many physical PCs. The VDI rollout cut log-in times from ~40 seconds to under 10, eliminated printing problems (dropping help‑desk tickets from ~50/week to zero), enabled secure anytime/anywhere access, streamlined provisioning, and improved overall reliability and manageability.
