California University of Pennsylvania, Intel: Reduces Costs
California University of Pennsylvania reduces operational costs and achieves 144 percent ROI with Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors
ORGANIZATION
California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U) is a public university located 35 miles south of Pittsburgh in the borough of California, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1852, the university has 9,000 students, including 6,500 undergraduate students from all 50 states and more than 30 countries. Cal U’s IT department manages and repairs approximately 2,535 desktop and laptop PCs used by faculty and students in campus labs and offices.
CHALLENGES
University computers were not left on 24/7 and Cal U’s software-only management solution provided no way for IT administrators to power up the PCs and manage them remotely. IT also could not remotely wake up, authenticate, and manage laptops that were disconnected from network cables or placed in standby mode. This led to a lot of extra work to track and ensure patching was completed.
SOLUTION
Cal U conducted a two-quarter ROI investigation using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager* (SCCM*) to manage 45 desktop and laptop PCs based on Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors. This combination enabled Cal U’s IT department to consistently power on desktops and wake wireless laptops remotely to issue patches and apply software and BIOS updates. IT was also able to access clients remotely and troubleshoot issues even when the operating system or network stack was not functioning correctly.
