Did you know that Purdue University’s nickname is the “Cradle of Astronauts”?

Purdue’s Engineering College boasts 27 alumni astronauts, including Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan, the first and last astronauts to walk the moon. Many others lead groundbreaking innovations across other domains. But Purdue’s IT challenges were very similar to other Engineering colleges:

  • Rising enrolment
  • Heavy demand for GPU-intensive apps like CAD
  • Strict licensing constraints
  • A wide variety of student devices
  • Space limitations and increased support requests

Their solution? AppsAnywhere!

Purdue found the new solution to be an effective bridge between generalized solutions and fully specialized lab setups, in a virtual environment that works on any device, in any location.
