Virtual Desktops in Education

Virtualising your desktop infrastructure using Plan-Net's expertise enables the delivery of a rich, personalised environment to every pupil and staff member with all the benefits of centralised management. A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) allows IT to run desktops in the datacentre while giving end users a single view of all their applications and data in a familiar environment on any device, in any location.

With proper implementation of the correct VDI solution for your specific requirements you will attain greater flexibility, reliability, efficiency and security along with the ability to manage desktops and applications remotely from the service desk and datacentre.

We have built up an impressive track record in delivering virtual desktop solutions designed to meet the specific needs of your unique userbase and its very specialised set of demands. We recognise that Educational establishments have a very different set of challenges to that of a business and our solutions reflect this in terms of both cost and delivering greater security, accessibility, efficiency and performance.

Performance

Improve the agility of your userbase with faster provisioning and flexibility with universal access. Deploy new desktops in minutes, optimising the value of IT resources and getting end users productive faster. Instantly apply desktop updates at any time from a central location and streamline delivery to bring new applications live within minutes.

Cost Efficiency

Correct implementation of VDI can increase the life cycle of your desktops to in excess of 10 years. With Plan-Net's help you can also reduce storage requirements and costs by up to 70% along with centralising management, administration and resources. VDI also saves money and time spent on testing, provisioning, managing and supporting desktops on a day-to-day basis. Separating the desktop from the underlying hardware and the applications from the operating system also reduces the cost of desktop management.

Security

Implemented properly, VDI increases security by moving data from desktop devices into the datacentre. Plan-Net's VDI solutions can help you to maintain control over data and intellectual property without compromising the ability of your pupils and staff to access their personalised desktop, complete with applications and data, from any location, at any time.

Disaster Recovery

VDI enables you to extend high-availability, disaster recovery and business continuity to the desktop. Back up desktops and data are held in the datacentre for greater fault tolerance and reliability while providing higher levels of availability to end users.
