What if any changes needed to be made to the university's network to support VDI?

Nothing much. We have a lot of capacity to support this through the wired network and also we have a lot of capacity left in our Internet connectivity.

What sort of resources (people, money, time) are you putting into the project?

One systems engineer configured the server and is responsible for maintaining the back-end and provisioning accounts as required.

One desktop administrator is responsible for building and maintaining the client desktops and consulting with users on customizations.
