Spartans Green Sky with VMware View

In June of 2009, the Information Technology Division's Client Services department at the University of South Carolina Upstate, led by Kevin Hodges, implemented a proof of concept and pilot for a local cloud computing initiative called Spartans Green Sky. After our initial year of testing and perfecting the VDI project, the proof of concept was moved into production in the spring of 2010 and expanded in the summer of 2010 to over 400 virtual desktops in labs and smart classrooms. During this session, we will demonstrate the concept and describe the benefits and lessons learned.
