University of Surrey case study now available


Improving the student IT experience with virtualised application delivery

The University of Surrey is one of the UK’s leading professional, scientific and technological universities with a world class research profile and a reputation for excellence in teaching and research. It is one of the region’s largest employers with over 2,500 staff and 17,900 students and is a member of the 1994 Group of 19 leading research-intensive universities.

Learn how the University has achieved the following benefits with Application Jukebox:

Improved student IT experience
Any Windows™ application to any managed machine

Faster software installation and more reliable PCs during exams periods
"Rebuild times after exams were taking at least two hours, for some computer rooms across faculties it was taking from 4-6 hours per PC in addition to some overnight builds that ran for hours. It is mainly down to the operating system and the PC’s core software. Now, during exam periods, we can convert a student computer room in much less time than before and the build is reliable".

Improved software licence purchasing decision process.
By using Application Jukebox’s reporting tool, it is possible to see what software application has been used by each faculty and/or department.

Smooth running PCs as software packages do not have to be installed onto them individually.
"Software is now deployed in our student computer rooms on-demand which means that PCs are now running quite lean, compared to the 60-80 applications that were sitting on them before".
