Bobst SA
VMware ACE Secures Home Computing for BOBST SA
“BOBST is a big user of server-hosted virtual desktop infrastructure. However, there are some users who need to connect to our network from an unsecured home PC, and who have some specialized, IT-specific applications that require local computing power. To give these users the applications they require to do their job, but in a secured environment that BOBST requires, we use VMware ACE.”
Canadian Blood Services
Canadian Blood Services Uses VMware ACE to Provide Standard, Secure Computing Environments on Heterogeneous Laptop Stock
"At Canadian Blood Services, we have hundreds of laptops with different versions of hardware and software that are costing us huge dollars to upgrade and then certify with Health Canada each time we make hardware or software changes in order to adhere to Canadian health care regulations. With VMware ACE, we're moving to certifying applications on hardware-independent virtual machines to streamline the regulatory compliance while ensuring application functionality, as well as enabling rapid deployment of these laptops for our mobile blood donation vehicles using USB keys with pre-loaded desktop configurations via the Pocket ACE feature."
Cardinal Health
“When you’re consolidating into brand-new facilities with no IT expertise onsite, you need an extremely high availability solution. The only way to make it happen with our set of requirements, without having hundreds of IT technicians onsite to re-image these things continually, is with VMware VDI technology.”
CDL Systems
CDL Systems Takes Flight with VMware ACE
"Our company writes vehicle control software for unmanned aerial vehicles. The software is developed to run on Linux and Solaris, with a few specific drivers and modules installed. With ACE, I’ve been able to create a stripped down installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4), installed our software on it and given it to our Systems Engineers to take to trade shows. They use it for customer demonstrations, just to show off the UI of our software. It saves having to install RHEL on all sorts of different hardware configurations, and I can keep it up to date with our latest software release.

Huntsville Hospital
VMware VDI Solution Just What the Doctor Ordered for Huntsville Hospital
"We’re in the process of opening a new emergency room at the hospital. Because of the critical nature of the computing environment, it has to be up and running extremely quickly. With VMware VDI, instead of having to buy 150 PCs and fully configure them, we’re going to roll out 150 thin clients, connect them to their pre-configured hosted virtual desktops, and be on our way."

Kindred Healthcare
Kindred Healthcare leverages VI3 and VDI to provide physicians with secure bedside access to patient records using wirelessly connected thin clients.
"Nurses and doctors don't really care about the underlying technology. They just want it to work, and help them do their jobs better. The fact that our users have so readily adopted our VDI-powered workstation on wheels shows that this solution really works for them."
Kindred Healthcare
“As a healthcare provider, in the case of a disaster, it is of the utmost importance that Kindred Healthcare can continue to do business as usual. And that means making sure that our internal service providers can maintain operational readiness even during a disaster.
We contract with SunGard to provide our IT staff with 250 offsite PCs in the case of a disaster. The hardware independence of VMware ACE gives our users seamless access to their specific ‘Kindred tool set,’ regardless of the x86 hardware SunGard provides us. Knowing our staff will be able to keep Kindred Healthcare doing business as usual, using their same day-to-day computing environment, is an enormous benefit.”
Miami-Dade County Public Schools
“Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is the largest school district in Florida, and the fourth largest in the United States, with more than 400,000 students. We have a similarly large number of desktop computers to control and service-easily greater than 100,000 individual machines.
As we look at the move to Vista, we see the ability to deploy Vista in a VM as a way we can make sure peripherals still work with the XP host OS, while at the same time allowing users the benefits of Vista's enhanced user interface.
Even before we take on this project, we see VMware ACE as a great way to cut down on the downtime associated with corrupted machines. With ACE, we can just take a machine back to its base state with a couple clicks, and that gets the teachers and students back to work quickly and easily.”
