FSLogix Enables Holstebro Kommune to Save 1,000s of Hours in Profile Remediation and Log-in Time
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Danish kommune of Holstebro implemented a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) strategy using Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop over a decade ago. One of biggest challenges Holstebro Kommune experienced with the VDI environment was user-profle corruption, at least two daily. To address the problem, Holstebro Kommune deployed FSLogix Profle Containers. In addition to eliminating profile corruptions, adding up to as much as 1,000 staff hours annually, FSLogix reduced log-in times for end users from an average of two minutes to 45 seconds—an
equivalent of 17,000 hours annually.
HIGHLIGHTS
> Recouped as much as 1,000 workhours annually spent remediating profile corruptions
> Eliminated user profile corruptions—average of two per day
> Saves end users circa 17,000 hours annually spent logging into their profles
> Reduced IOPS from 30 to 2--a 15-fold reduction
