Case Study: Large UK Government Entity achieves 2x faster virtual desktop performance with Wipro VirtuaDesk

How a top UK Govt body reimagined user experience with desktop virtualization

Large Government UK Entity Company, a large UK government body serving 43,000 corporate users and students across more than 500 locations, was struggling with stability, performance, and scalability issues in its Citrix-based virtual desktop environment. It also needed to support 3D design applications for more than 1,500 school users and replace much of its desktop and laptop estate with thin clients.

Wipro implemented VirtuaDesk™, a desktop virtualization solution built on Nutanix and Citrix, with managed services, hardware, and software support. Wipro’s solution doubled VDI performance, improved 3D application usage by 100%, reduced total cost of ownership by 25%, and cut implementation time from 6–8 months to 12 weeks, while also enabling 95% of desktops and 50% of laptops to be replaced with thin clients.
