University of New Mexico Anderson Schools of Management Solves Access to Complex Technology With VMWare Applications on Dell 2006-11-01 Dell

The challenge was providing students in information technology courses with access to the computers and software programs they need to complete hands-on information system assignments. The University of New Mexico Anderson Schools of Management deployed a VMware Workstation solution in a remotely-accessible, virtual student laboratory populated by Dell hardware. As a result students have remote and secure access to course material without the limitations of a physical student laboratory, such as limited hours, sharing machine availability with other students and the complications of multiple operating systems and software programs residing on different machines.

Student Self-Reported Usage of Wireless Tablet PCs in Classrooms 2006-10-31 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Wireless computing devices with novel input capabilities are becoming commonplace in college classrooms. To measure how one type of such devices, namely wireless Tablet PCs, is used in classrooms and whether they help improve teaching and learning, this paper conducted a pilot study involving four classes at various levels taught by three instructors in Computer Science, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering, respectively. The preliminary result showed that both the students and the instructors liked the wireless Tablet PCs in classrooms and both thought teaching and learning were improved in various ways.

Technology Company Deploys Search Tool, Improves Security and Productivity 2006-10-01 Microsoft Tips

NNIT, based in Denmark, provides IT consulting and develops software solutions for large organizations throughout Europe. The company, formed in 1994 by pharmaceutical industry leader Novo Nordisk, primarily works on technical projects for pharmaceutical and medical companies. As the company's workload has increased, NNIT employees have found themselves more and more overwhelmed with e-mail messages, software documents, and other customer files. To improve their file-searching ability, some employees downloaded Internet-based computer search tools. However, these tools were not secure and exposed classified information on the Internet.

Virtualization of PC Computing: Blades, Partitioning, and Shared Resources 2006-09-07 Virt2go

One of the most significant changes in this decade is that Information Technology (IT) must align with the demands of business and there must be a link that focuses on developing products and services that are more in keeping with business needs. Companies large and small have come to the realization that every business decision triggers an event in IT, making IT either an enabler or an inhibitor. The good news is that the IT industry is in the midst of a radical restructuring to support this need. Vendors are rapidly evolving strategies that transform IT from being complex, rigid, and unmanageable to being more simplified, manageable, and flexible.
