VMware & Unidesk Customer Webinar: Menlo College
From May 11, 2011 webinar
Watch recording, view presentation slides and read Q&A:
Did Menlo College have any laptop users that were converted?
Did you do the migration to VDI in one shot or was it done smoothly over time and how did the users react?
Did you need to do any network upgrades to support video?
Do I add the layer to the "Image" or all the VMs?
Do the Pano units use the View connection broker? If not, is it complicated to manage multiple connection brokers?
Have you tested streaming media from the Internet inward, such as for various courses, perhaps Video on Demand?
How are you funding MS Windows licenses for VDI use and MS Office licenses? What are these costs?
How did you choose your zero clients?
How do you repurpose the old desktops? What software was used for the thick client?
I noticed that you had considerable savings from staff labor costs. Did you reduce workforce or reassign to other tasks?
If I use Unidesk, is there any advantage to VMware ThinApp?
Instead of using desktop icons can you set all the icons in a toolbar like the quick launch toolbar?
Is access to admin ERP server allowed from off campus home locations? Is authentication through AD for all including students?
Is your VDI server environment separate from your server VM environment?
Since you aren't using a SAN, how do you handle redundancy if a server (ESX host) goes down? How many servers do you have?
So, how can we integrate laptops into this approach or do we have to maintain our current "ghost-prism" approach in parallel?
Was initial investment in VDI very costly?
What client operating systems work with Unidesk?
What is the server farm infrastructure? Number of servers, storage arrays, blade-vs-non blade servers?
You mentioned that you have ~ 50 virtual desktops / server. What type of server are you using and what is the server configuration in terms of CPU and RAM?
