To support its staff’s need for online access anytime, Emory, the largest and most comprehensive healthcare system in Georgia, need to virtualize its desktops to enable its staff to be mobile while offering guaranteed access to critical systems for patient care. The centralization and virtualization of the desktop required Emory’s datacenter IT infrastructure to be extremely reliable and resilient yet manageable, flexible and agile. By partnering with Egenera, using their PAN Manager software, and Fujitsu, they were able to manage up to 25,000 virtual desktops, with 4,000-5,000 concurrent yet constantly rotating users – all with a single system administrator.
