Duration: 1 hour

 

Attend this webinar and learn how to:

  • Reduce your data storage footprint
  • Control costs when deploying a VDI
  • Plan for a successful VDI deployment

When Hartnell College attempted to deploy VDI across their entire campus, they ran into some problems – primarily cost of storage and data optimization to support VDI. They quickly began exceeding storage capacity and were unable to provide the performance needed to support the 300-400 concurrent VDI users and did not know how they were going to reach their goal of supporting 2500 concurrent users. As a result, Hartnell College turned to Unidesk and Tegile Systems for help. With their help, Hartnell College was able to address their needs, save precious dollars and now have a scalable platform to support them in their quest of 2,500 concurrent users – all on a single storage platform.

Join us for this live webinar and hear directly from Hartnell College about how Tegile and Unidesk helped them manage their data, reduce their data storage footprint and save money.

Hosted by Tegile Systems and sponsored by Unidesk and KIS
