About this session

A professor comes to you and says, "I need you to install this software on 100 students' computers for this cool new class I'm teaching." You could cross your fingers that all those computers meet the minimum requirements and that students actually read their emails saying, "Hey, you need to install this software," and then set aside a bunch of time to troubleshoot installation issues, and then deal with decommissioning the software after the term ends...Or you could look to IS&T's Virtual Computer Labs. Claudia will share how the virtual desktop platform works and why you should consider it.
