University Simplifies Application Management, Enhances Security With Virtualization
Overview The IT staff for the Chancellor's office at California State University (CSU) was facing difficult management issues for the 75 applications and 600 desktops it supports. Laborious deployments and extremely time-consuming upgrades required reboots, causing downtime for users. Many business applications required local administrator access to install, creating security risks. Some users, such as developers often needed multiple application versions, requiring IT to remove and reload applications after each usage. To simplify application management, the university deployed Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5. Now CSU has streamlined application deployment, making it much easier for users and faster for IT staff. Upgrades now take a fraction of the time they used to, and security has been improved. Users enjoy multiple version support, and IT has better disaster recovery capabilities.
