Tame your user licenses and get better
application performance
Many educational institutions want to provide applications to their student populations. The high licensing costs often can be addressed by a variety application delivery technologies. But if you’ve got graphics-rich apps in your environment, like Adobe Photoshop or AutoCAD, most application delivery technologies are simply too slow to be usable.
Application Jukebox is the only application virtualization solution that streams the application down to your students’ PCs—so they look, feel, and perform like local applications.
In addition to unmatched performance, Application Jukebox provides admins with complete control over licenses. You can pull back the license for any piece of software when the class is over (or when a student drops), keeping licensing costs down.
Endeavors Technologies has worked for years with K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions to develop solutions that will not only help their student body but the entire learning institution.
Application Jukebox software allows your school or university to:
- Provide students access to the applications they need regardless of their location. With Application Jukebox, the applications follow the students, rather than students hunting down the PC that has the application they need. You can make your applications accessible both on and off campus, as most students now own their own PCs.
- Install any Windows application you need on a single desktop. Endeavors’ Application Virtualization allows one desktop image to run any application, including anti-virus and legacy applications, as well as every application your entire institution needs. You no longer need to separate images, labs, or machines because of different software. For example, with Application Jukebox, StarOffice and Microsoft Office can coexist on the same desktop and be switched between class sessions.
- Reduce licensing costs by providing only the software needed for your student population and significantly reduce the number of desktop licenses required for most applications. Application reporting and usage information will let you know how many users have accessed an application and how many licenses are available. This will not only help you stay in compliance, but it will give you real time usage information of all the applications running on your desktops.
- Stream software, not sessions. Applications are streamed directly. This means more applications with less storage space on your servers. This is true whether you stream to terminal servers, VDI, or straight to the end user’s machine.
- Easily and rapidly distribute applications to any PC or user. Package an application once, and seamlessly distribute that application to an individual user, a group of users, or a group of computers. With Application Jukebox, applications can be pre-configured and ready to be deployed for your environment.
- No need to send IT personnel to the user’s machine to install the application or configure the application.
- No need to wait for a break or end of semester to distribute applications.
- No need to create a new PC image and spend hours of compatibility testing just to distribute one application.
Managing and deploying applications should be simple, and Application Jukebox can be part of the solution. Let the experts at Endeavors work with you and your team to find a solution that is right for your environment. Click here to have one of our specialists contact you.
