With Dell Technologies and Intel, it is possible to transform the learning of university students with virtual desktops that foster the acceleration of the digital revolution, also representing an opportunity for institutions to halve costs and reduce power consumption by 30 percent within the structure in which they are located.

Thanks to a simple-to-manage Dell Cloud Client Computing solution, which can connect quickly and securely to one's own virtual desktop infrastructure, it is possible to reduce terminal installation times, reduce support calls, improve user experience thanks to all-in-one models equipped with integrated webcam and which implement the Blast protocol.

An exemplary case comes from the University of Turin, which in recent years has revolutionized traditional teaching methods by ensuring flexible access to applications and data for students through their own workstations.

However, the organization has committed to keeping the management of desktops as streamlined as possible, against an infrastructure of about 1,550 terminals.

Server and desktop virtualization is a fundamental part of the university's IT strategy, which in this way helps to significantly reduce the costs of desktop resources by exploiting the Dell Wyse 5040 and 5010 thin clients.

Today, students and professors at the University of Turin can count on better access to applications and data, thanks to thin clients, which allow for quick and easy modification of work environments, or pools of virtual machines, to best meet the needs of university users, helping them to maximize their learning outcomes.

50% cost reduction and 30% in consumption

With Dell thin client solutions, universities can reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their desktops by up to half, thanks to the reliability and simplicity of terminal management.
