VDI management is a challenge in itself, but factors such as a large amount of end users, resource fluctuations and licensing limitations can make an IT admin’s job even more difficult. The IT team at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., must deal with all of those factors and more in any given day. The university has seven campuses, 130,000 students and 20,000 faculty staff members, with 200,000 endpoint devices that are connected to the wireless network at any given time.
