I am posting this here for my colleague. Also, I have my reservations from
a security standpoint, so any input related to security would be welcome.
Feel free to contact me directly if you like.

Are any of you running VDI deployments for faculty and staff
desktops/laptop replacements (computers outside labs and classrooms)?  I am
talking about "complete" VDI hardware replacements and not virtual machines
connecting via software on a standard Mac/PC laptop or desktop.

If you are running a VDI technology for faculty and staff machines, what
hardware have you deployed and what sort of issues have you run into while
deploying?  What does your deployment look like in terms of the departments
or individuals?

For those of you who are not running any sort of VDI desktop replacement
for faculty and staff, please feel free to jump in with your comments about
if you are looking into this for your institutions today and why or why
not.  :)

Thank you so much for your input and thoughts!
