Providing students with 24/7 access to lab resources is a top priority for many higher education institutions. Students and faculty seek the freedom and flexibility of online solutions as a way to be more productive and successful.  

Dell’s Virtual Lab powered by Citrix offers a flexible and fully accommodating virtual lab for students and faculty. Instead of installing software on a lab computer or a personal device, applications and data reside in the datacenter and are accessed remotely. The result: Instant access to a 24-hour virtualized environment on any device, on or off campus. Featuring simplified client management and enhanced security, Dell Virtual Lab Powered by Citrix delivers a coordinated approach with single-source support. It helps keep data secure and protects confidentiality by granting delegated levels of access to students and staff.

Dell Virtual Lab also helps administrators lower the total cost of IT operations, a critical task due to diminishing budgets and government incentives. Managing physical computer labs is costly and a huge burden for the IT team. Device upkeep, lab expansions, semester provisioning are tasks that keep IT running in place. By consolidating and standardizing all desktops, applications and data in the datacenter, IT can deliver an optimal desktop and application experience while reducing management, maintenance and support costs.

Dell Virtual Lab Powered by Citrix helps higher education institutions modernize their information technology with a virtual computing solution that empowers students, faculty and IT teams.
