-Vucci-Enabled Computer Lab Improves CPU Efficiency While Reducing Operating
Costs and Energy Usage by as Much as 97 Percent-
SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Computer labs are notorious for wire-clutter, low computer efficiency and high
power usage, but Utah Valley University (UVU) together with Vucci Technology
Solutions is working to change that. Through a partnership with the university,
Vucci donated $100,000 worth of equipment and services to refit the athletic
department computer lab with virtual desktops and managed services. 

The new lab, named the "Vucci Computer Lab," is open year round to all student
athletes and their tutors. In addition to improving efficiency and cutting power
usage by as much as 97 percent for the university, the lab will also make the
student athletes` lives easier by providing them with technology designed to
help them make the most of their educational experience at the University. 

"We are very excited by the benefits this new computer lab offers," said Ray
Walker, CIO at Utah Valley University. "The virtual desktops in the new
Vucci-enabled computer lab allow us to run the lab with higher efficiency while
at the same time cutting our energy, management and operating costs."

desktops and provides an excellent case-study of the cost savings and green
