Demo

Titusville Area School District

• Security patches and application updates were difficult to install in every individual device, which put the district at risk from malware.

• The district turned to Cross IT Services & Solutions, LLC, a QLogic Advanced Solutions Partner specializing in virtualization technology and the education market, to help develop and implement a plan.

The Challenge

• The Titusville IT team launched a virtual desktop initiative and realized that architecting a district-wide deployment took more resources than they had in-house.

The Solution

• Five rack mounted Dell R815 rack servers

• Five QLogic QLE10522 FabricCache adapters – one in each

server

• Two QLogic SB5802 8Gb Fibre Channel stackable switches

• Two JetStor SAS 724iFD 24-bay RAID Arrays, each with four

200GB solid-state drives & twenty 600 GB hard drives, for

25.6TB of storage capacity

• VMware® View 5.2
