The Education Ecosystem
Key issues driving demand for Information Technology
Two examples of enhanced user experiencesthrough Virtualization
Reduced e library desktop energy usage by 50% and increased management efficiency with On-Demand Desktop Streaming solution.
“Now we can respond much faster to requests for new software and provide a better user experience.”Keith Walton, Manager, Network Services, West Virginia University College of Law
SOLUTION
Dell helped the university team select a cost-effective, energy-efficient virtualization solution that enhanced the end-user experience by optimizing desktops.
BENEFITS
• Approximately 50% decrease in energy usage .• Projected 67% longer refresh cycles for desktop PCs.• Software updates and installations in minutes vs. days.• Min. 2 hours per week time saved in virus remediation.• Library and lab are now quiet and cool.

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside can now provide instant response to student and faculty while saving up to 36 days of work per year.
“What makes this so easy is that instead of touching the 10 to 30 machines in a lab to reimage, all the changing is done from one centralized server.”Bob ZimlaDesktop Support TechnicianUniversity of Wisconsin-Parkside
SOLUTION The university deployed virtual solutions to centralize management of desktop images and enable students to choose their own set of applications.
BENEFITS
• Easier, centralized management of IT• Up to 36 days of IT staff time saved per year in changing
images• Tighter security with simple reboot to clear viruses
Desktop Virtualization: Multiple delivery models Options to solve issues with constrained data centers, limited upfront budgets, and in-house expertise

Dell does it for you
Do It Yourself Build and Transfer As-a-ServiceBuild and Operate
A flexible delivery model that suits unique needs and goals
• Promote social responsibility by reducing carbon footprint and optimizing resource usage
SOLUTION
• Platform Migration
• Server Virtualization
• Storage Consolidation & Optimization
• Data Center Design
BENEFITS
• Millions of dollars saved in data center space, IT assets, and operations
• Energy savings worth ~$129,000 per year
Research Institute initiated an energy conservation and data center optimization effort and selected Dell to assist them with the execution .
712 metric tons less CO2 which is equivalent to:• Annual greenhouse gas emissions from 130 passenger vehicles or• CO2 emissions from the electricity use of 99 homes for one year or• Annual carbon sequestering power of 162 acres of pine forest

Server Virtualization in Optimized Data Centers Creates Benefits across your Institution
• Reduces costs to free budget for research and instruction
• Increases faculty, staff, and student productivity through improved quality of service
• Enables creativity through easier, faster provisioning of applications and supporting infrastructure (agility)
• Lays the foundation for future Cloud Computing and even greater levels of cost effectiveness, quality of service, and agility
Results: A More Efficient and More Connected Campus
