Item Summary:
This requested server based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) computing solution is for a pilot program within the
City. The proposed VDI shall provide additional computing power to City personnel while reducing operating costs
while allowing IT to centrally manage users' desktop profiles from a centralized server versus 100 individual
desktops, saving on time and manpower. Additionally, thin clients last much longer, are more energy efficient,
makes asset management and disposal easier and are less expensive to replace than a standard desktop.
This is a cooperative purchase from the State Department of Information Resources (DIR). The IT Department
obtained competitive and comparative pricing to verify this solution was a best value purchase for the City.
