Addressing Challenges in University Computer Labs:

Challenges in University LabsThe VMLogix Solution
Management of infrastructure, machine environments and users in a computer labCentralize the lab setup and management operations to drive efficiency through better resource utilization
Providing access to students and instructors to machines in a computer labProvide policy governed self service access to all lab users including administrators, IT staff, instructors and students of various classes
Time and effort required to to prepare the lab machines for a training class (with the software stack, user access etc.)Leverage virtualization and VMLogix management software to easily spin up environments, deploy, share, snapshot and save as necessary. Easily publish the configurations to all students in a class so each student gets their own multi-virtual machine environment
Manual effort in creating and managing the computer lab – very little automation possibleHigh degree of automation in deployment of configurations – both outside (e.g., configuration environments through scheduling configuration deployments, actions to be taken post and pre-deployment etc.) and inside guest virtual machines (using automation operations within the guest virtual machines)
No easy way to save and share lab environmentsEnd users (students or instructors) can save, share, snapshot configurations to access at a future point in time
