We Virtualized the Lab, Now What? BYOD Access? Persistent Faculty VMs?

Thursday, May 30 | 9:30AM–10:15AM | East/West Paces
Session Type: Professional Development

The virtualization of the computer lab significantly shifted how computer labs are managed, imaged, and supported. Now that the computer lab has been virtualized, what's next? Do we stop there? Are there cost savings to be realized by virtualizing the user desktop or by providing students with access from their devices? USC Upstate has extended their SpartanGreenSky VDI past the computer lab, which increased support and response times, allowed students to access university-owned software anywhere anytime, and reduced power and computer replacement costs. See how students, faculty, and staff across the USC Upstate campuses have benefited from the SpartanGreenSky VDI.
