Solution Requirements• Support for, Windows, Mac and Linux clients. • User environment management.• Application Integration – MSI installs, Application
Virtualization, etc.• Remote Desktop Services (terminal services) support.• Location aware – Ability to assign “resources” based on
location.• Granular administration – Helpdesk roles, etc.• Easy scalability.

RolloutBy the end of March 2011 we will (“should”) have the following;
• Support for 2500 - 3000 virtual Windows 7 desktops.• Support for 1500 - 2000 Remote Desktop Services
connections.• 400 - 800 Windows 7 RemoteFX “ready” desktops.• Applications streamed using App-V (with shared cache).• Started the next phase of our NxTop (virtualcomputer.com)
pilot with vWorkspace integration.

What we are Achieving with vWorkspace• Dynamically assembled desktops at login.• Single image management.• Deployment of images across local storage (no SAN
requirement).• Desktops as a Service (DaaS).• A University without walls!
