With the help of the virtual desktops, university members and staff can

• access the PC network system of the Jade University of Applied Sciences independently of time, place and room
• use many of the licensed Software products offered on campus
• have a working environment independent of the terminal device (Bring your own device - BYOD)

The Virtual Desktops service group is working on the following services:

This service is responsible for the provision, management and maintenance of the hard- and software clients for accessing the virtual desktops.

This service creates and maintains the operating system images for the respective pools.

In Software Deployment - in contrast to software distribution, where software has to be installed - software packages are provided within the operating system. This is done with the help of the software VMware AppVolumes and ThinApps.

This service is entrusted with the operation and maintenance of the IT technical system required for the provision of virtual desktops.

This service adapts the desktops to the specific needs of a virtual environment and to Jade University.
