Recently, Brian Graham, Randy Kryzston and I got to work with Baseline Magazine to put together an article about how and why TJSL went about using VMware and Teradici to virtualize 99% of the dekstops on campus.  The resulting story (PDF) was published just a few weeks back.

From the article:

In early 2010, the opportunity to radically change the computing model presented itself when TJSL began constructing a new facility to house its faculty, staff and 1,000 students. We began testing remote desktop virtualization solutions. However, while many solutions were capable of handling standard office applications, every one we tested failed to adequately support the multimedia experience required in our environment.

Each year, Georgetown Law puts out a study called “Top 10 Law School Home Pages”. While this may not be on par with the US News and World Report law school rankings, we still take it seriously – after all we consider ourselves to be a “high tech” institution.

From the study:

This survey includes all United States law schools accredited by the American Bar Association. The site evaluation process in- cludes a combination of human assessment and automated analysis. To improve data validity, the source code for every site was evalu- ated using computer-based pattern matching to detect things like links to social media, use of HTML tables, and anything with pre- dictable text patterns. Much of this data was evaluated a second time.

The first year I worked here, tjsl.edu was listed as 80th of 200 rankings. The second year, we jumped to 35th place.  This year we’ve made it all the way to #13.  Watch out top ten, here we come!
