Case Study: School District 308 achieves optimized VDI performance and capacity planning with Xangati

School District 308 Optimizes its 4,000 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure with Xangati and Chicago Microsystems

School District 308, one of Illinois’ fastest-growing public school districts, needed to manage a new hybrid environment with 4,000 virtual desktops after moving away from physical PCs. With limited staff and funding, the district needed better visibility into performance issues, utilization, and capacity planning; it worked with Chicago Microsystems, Inc. (CMI) and Xangati to support its VDI environment.

Xangati, implemented through the Xangati Virtual Appliance (XVA), gave School District 308 end-to-end monitoring without agents or reboots, helping the IT team quickly identify root causes, compare the impact of changes, and generate weekly and quarterly health reports. The result was smoother-running virtual desktops, faster issue resolution, improved service-level performance, and better data-driven planning for future purchases, with Xangati providing the visibility needed to reduce trouble tickets and support proactive optimization.
