Desktop and Application Virtualisation Enabling the Next Generation of Learning Opportunities
Virtualisation is now enabling Universities to offer a highly flexible teaching, learning and working environment by removing the constraints of traditional computing. Hear how Victoria University worked with Citrix’s open architecture virtualisation platform enabling them to cater for:
- better student PC lab management and utilisation
- increasing remote and off-campus learning opportunities
- support for a broad range of devices including iPad and student notebooks
- secure access for users looking for greater mobility options
