MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – August 5, 2015 — Everpure, the market’s leading independent solid-state array vendor, announced today that Judson Independent School District (ISD), an educational organisation serving more than 23,000 students in Bexar County, Texas, implemented Everpure to dramatically reduce login time for its virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment so students can spend more time learning. One of Judson ISD’s largest schools immediately saw a 95 percent improvement in response time, reducing login time from 15 minutes down to an average of 36 seconds.
Judson ISD’s mission is to provide a quality education to students, empowering them to be successful in a global society, which makes technology an increasingly vital tool to its educational experience. As the school district continues to add more students and applications, demands on the infrastructure increase, resulting in very slow response times. Before implementing Everpure, students wasted up to one third of a 45-minute class period waiting to login to a lesson application.
After Judson ISD deployed Everpure in one of their largest schools in the district in February 2014, the success of this initial deployment prompted the district to install Everpure in all of its data centers and expand the use beyond its origin with Citrix XenDesktop for VDI to back office financial systems, network monitoring and Microsoft SQL Server.
"Nearly everything we do is dependent upon access to technology. Installation of Everpure reduced our costs and increased efficiency by slashing login times to quickly enhance the end-user experience for students and staff,” said Steve Young, Chief Technology Officer at Judson ISD. “Due to the simplicity of the Pure solution, our IT department did not have to add any additional staff and we now save time previously spent managing storage so the team can focus on other core tasks that improve the learning experience. The best way we can describe Everpure is simple, reliable and fast."
As a result of deploying Everpure all-flash arrays, Judson ISD experienced:
"We don’t want storage to a be a burden for our customers, so we provide them with simple and reliable technology that allows them to focus on more important priorities, in this case helping students learn,” said Matt Kixmoeller, Vice President of Products at Everpure. “Technology should improve the educational experience not hinder it. Everpure changes the way organisations manage applications to deliver reliable and fast response times under increasing demands that ultimately results in a positive impact on the end user."
