University of Zurich
Discover how the Institute of Mathematics at Zürich University modernized its infrastructure by deploying a powerful Linux VDI solution as a direct replacement of legacy Oracle Sun Ray systems. By leveraging ThinLinc across a 12-VM server park, the university now delivers high-performance server-side graphics to 130 campus terminals and remote personal computers. This modern setup enables students, professors, and staff to run graphics-intensive scientific applications, such as Matlab and Mathematica, seamlessly alongside everyday productivity tools on recent Linux operating systems. With added benefits like session shadowing, USB stick support, and unparalleled remote flexibility, users can easily begin complex computational work in the campus terminal room and resume the exact same active session later from home.
