In 09, the University of South Florida is a problem: students access to applications for their courses required required. The University holding fishing licenses for the software, but either come on campus requires students the software to access in a computer lab, or obtain a personal copy. The software was often difficult for students to install and configure, and in many cases, the licensing prevents software on computers that are not installed by the university owned. Public and teaching computing laboratories had at certain times of operations and seat, which makes it difficult, all students to meet. In many cases, would be waiting students for a seat in an open use laboratory, while using a laptop wearing the backpack; they had only access to their applications. Even if a laboratory was available, there was no guarantee that all the specialized software would be needed for a particular course be present in any laboratory. USF found that a combination of XenApp for application access and PVS solved for managing consistent laboratory images their problem. USF Apps was born.
In 2012, The University of Florida had a similar problem. to know at USF success, people from UF met with IT USF IT.
