T Computing Facilities department has recently
undertaken a Proof of Concept or POC on the use of
virtual clients in the computer labs at the new Palm
Beach facility.
With this new design for computer labs, the useful life of
a lab computer can be extended from 3-5 years to 7-10
years. This new technology will enhance the ability of

T to keep the desktop systems at remote locations
updated with correct applications, versions, and other
settings. Instead of creating an image containing the op-
erating system, programs, program updates, drivers, and
security policies for deployment through the organization,
NSU technicians will now have the ability to remotely
provision Virtual Desktop learning environments.
While this task may previously have taken days, it would
now be completed in minutes, thus reducing time and
labor costs!
