In IT, the most important work is often the least obvious to our customers. A prime example of this is maintenance of existing technology. Over the summer, we cleaned and serviced the computers and other technology in all classrooms and common areas on campus. In addition, we’ve made the following important upgrades across campus.<\/p>\n
Beatley Library<\/b><\/p>\n
With the assistance of the staff at Beatley Library, we’ve transitioned their computers to virtual workstations where appropriate. These computers\u2014called virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) computers\u2014store data and applications remotely. VDI computers are more cost effective and easier to service without compromising quality or performance.<\/p>\n
Linda K. Paresky Conference Center<\/b><\/p>\n
We\u2019ve streamlined the video and sound systems in the Paresky Conference Center, making them more reliable, versatile, and easier to use.<\/p>\n
School of Management Building<\/b><\/p>\n
Of all the conference rooms on campus, M501\/502 are among the most popular for meetings and seminars. To maintain a high level of usability in the rooms, we\u2019ve replaced the projectors with laser projectors that provide a much brighter picture that\u2019s visible throughout the space\u2014even on very sunny days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
