INX Completes Centralized Computing Solution at Seattle University

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--INX, Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI) announced today that it has successfully designed and implemented a unified computing solution for Seattle University (SU).

The centralized computing and virtual desktop project leverage leading edge technology of the next-generation data center to transform the end user experience for students across the SU campus. The solution consolidates resources in the data center, creating efficiencies and increased availability of applications while driving down costs such as power and cooling. Built upon the Cisco Systems Unified Computing System (UCS), INX deployed a solution that would transform SU’s desktop computing model by enabling secure central desktop computing for their users.

In addition to centralization, a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) was implemented which moves all of the applications of faculty and students off of their individual computers and into the data center. This technology allows the computers to be simplified terminals or clients that receive the applications and content which is hosted and managed more efficiently in the data center. The VMware VDI solution will simplify SU’s desktop management strategy while increasing control of University assets and significantly improving the security of end-user data. Students will have ubiquitous wireless and wired access on campus. Additional third party applications have been incorporated to allow for single sign-on to the desktop as well as printer location management. By virtualizing the desktops, SU will be able to address the requirements for throughput, redundancy, manageability, and flexibility.

The VMware View design consists of an infrastructure capable of operating and supporting 600 View virtual desktops and will support 7 computer labs and 100 classrooms all managed from the current datacenter in Seattle, Washington. The unified computing solution deployed at Seattle University will be the first in the Pacific Northwest to combine such leading edge technologies.

“The move to virtualized desktops will better serve students by allowing them to access software from the device and location of their choosing,” said Robert Dullea, vice president for university planning. “It will save the university money by reducing demand on our computer labs. It is an innovative use of technology that makes us better as a university.”

Mark Hilz, President and COO of INX said, “We are pleased to partner with such a forward-thinking organization as Seattle University. We believe the future of the data center and desktop computing in education and governments will look like the Seattle University model.”

The project was valued at approximately $385,000 in product and services revenue for INX.
