Overview Stanford University's IT infrastructure is as diverse and dynamic as its students and faculty. Bristling with new ideas, Stanford professors and students make extraordinary demands on the university's IT staff by regularly evaluating a myriad of software applications. In an effort to reduce the high cost of managing thousands of PCs and notebook computers across campus, the university's School of Education IT group recently piloted Microsoft Windows XP, Dell OpenManage, and Altiris Deployment Solution on Dell OptiPlex PCs. The result was dramatically less time spent on PC troubleshooting, hard drive re-imaging, and software deployment, yet students and faculty retain the software variety and system performance they need to conduct research.
