Executive Summary
Even when the economy is good, IT professionals are asked to cut costs without sacrificing functionality — when it's bad, organizations demand that more be done with less. Pike County Schools' implementation of desktops-as-a-service (DaaS) provides an example of harnessing virtualization to lower costs: Implementing DaaS allowed the school district to restore 1,400 obsolete desktops to usefulness and decrease the management overhead associated with maintaining multiple images. Specifically, Pike extended the life of its PCs from an average of four years to seven years, and furthermore, decreased the number of images in its environment from more than 40 to just one.
