INX Completes Centralized Computing Solution at Seattle University

Business Wire
INX, Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI) announced today that
it has successfully designed and implemented a unified computing
solution for Seattle University (SU).
The centralized computing and virtual desktop project leverage
leading edge technology of the next-generation data center to
transform the end user experience for students across the SU
campus. The solution consolidates resources in the data center,
creating efficiencies and increased availability of applications
while driving down costs such as power and cooling. Built upon the
Cisco Systems Unified Computing System (UCS), INX deployed a
solution that would transform SU’s desktop computing model by
enabling secure central desktop computing for their users.
In addition to centralization, a virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI) was implemented which moves all of the applications of
faculty and students off of their individual computers and into the
data center. This technology allows the computers to be simplified
terminals or clients that receive the applications and content
which is hosted and managed more efficiently in the data center.
The VMware VDI solution will simplify SU’s desktop management
strategy while increasing control of University assets and
significantly improving the security of end-user data. Students
will have ubiquitous wireless and wired access on campus.
Additional third party applications have been incorporated to allow
for single sign-on to the desktop as well as printer location
management. By virtualizing the desktops, SU will be able to
address the requirements for throughput, redundancy, manageability,
and flexibility.
The VMware View design consists of an infrastructure capable of
operating and supporting 600 View virtual desktops and will support
7 computer labs and 100 classrooms all managed from the current
datacenter in Seattle, Washington. The unified computing solution
deployed at Seattle University will be the first in the Pacific
Northwest to combine such leading edge technologies.
“The move to virtualized desktops will better serve students by
allowing them to access software from the device and location of
their choosing,” said Robert Dullea, vice president for university
planning. “It will save the university money by reducing
demand on our computer labs. It is an innovative use of technology
that makes us better as a university.”
Mark Hilz, President and COO of INX said, “We are pleased to
partner with such a forward-thinking organization as Seattle
University. We believe the future of the data center and desktop
computing in education and governments will look like the Seattle
University model.”
The project was valued at approximately $385,000 in product and
services revenue for INX.
