Moving from a traditional desktop computing environment to a virtualized solution is a daunting task. In this article, the author presents case histories of three districts that have made the conversion to virtual computing to learn about their experiences: What prompted them to make the move, and what were their objectives? Which obstacles prove most challenging, and would they do anything differently in hindsight? Their answers are presented, along with other important observations, tips, and caveats from the technology leaders who were out in front of these decisive moves into desktop computing's new frontier.
