INX Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI - News)
announced today that it has successfully completed a virtual
desktop infrastructure project for Bloomfield ISD.
The city of Bloomfield is located in northwestern New Mexico
only 70 miles from the famous four corners intersection of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. It’s also home to the
Bloomfield ISD, a school district that supports approximately 1,500
square miles of community and over 3,200 students. There are seven
schools inside the district that range from elementary to high
school education. Many school districts, like Bloomfield, face the
challenge of providing a secure, stable and technologically
advanced computing environment to their students. As school
districts consider solutions that allow them centralized
management, easier deployment, easier administration and green IT
initiatives, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is growing in
popularity as the right solution.
Bloomfield ISD recognized the benefits of implementing virtual
desktop technology and contracted with INX to design and implement
a solution to meet their growing needs. INX provided a complete
virtual desktop environment that has entirely replaced the
traditional desktop hardware in three of the school labs. The three
labs equate to 90 virtualized desktop units. INX implemented a VDI
solution that provided Bloomfield ISD with a highly available,
efficient and scalable environment for its students and achieved
its business objectives of aligning with green IT initiatives,
implementing a centrally managed environment, and increasing ease
of deployment and administration.
By combining Dell infrastructure, Pano Logic terminal devices,
VMware virtual desktop management software, and INX services, a
complete virtual desktop environment was established. The primary
computing environment was configured with multiple VMware ESX
servers hosting the virtual machines. The system is connected via
iSCSI to Dell Equalogic shared storage, allowing this deployment to
be the foundation for all future deployments of Bloomfield Schools’
VDI infrastructure.
Ted Bonnell, Regional Branch Manager of INX’s Southwest Region
said, “We are pleased that this implementation has been so
successful for Bloomfield ISD. They are sure to see the benefits of
this new technology and we look forward to implementing the next
phase for them, once they are ready.”
Russell Florez, Bloomfield ISD Director of Information
Technology commented, “I’m very pleased with the new solution. VDI
has the potential to change the way we deliver computing to our
students. We are able to improve the user experience while
simultaneously achieving many of our green initiatives and
simplifying our management duties. This means my employees have
more time to dedicate to other important tasks.”
Future plans for VDI growth at Bloomfield include an additional
11 labs totaling approximately 330 virtual desktop units. The
initial VDI deployment was started in July, 2010 and completed in
September.
