Little Rock School District
STEM VDI delivers 50× user capacity across 50 schools
Deployed GPU-accelerated VDI supporting graphic-intensive curriculum like Autodesk Inventor and RobotC across 25,000 students.
The Challenge
Little Rock School District served 25,000 students and 3,700 faculty across 50 schools. Aging desktop PCs in STEM labs were nearing obsolescence, and software updates required weeks to deploy individually. The district needed to support graphic-intensive applications like Autodesk Inventor and RobotC, manage 100+ software titles, and enable a 1:1 student-to-computer initiative with BYOD across 40+ locations.
- Aging desktop PCs approaching end-of-life
- Software updates taking weeks per rollout
- 100+ software titles to manage across campuses
- 1:1 student initiative requiring BYOD support
The Solution
Logical Front deployed a GPU-accelerated VDI platform tuned for STEM curriculum — with application layering that let students access specialized software from any campus or BYOD device.
GPU-Accelerated VDI
NVIDIA vGPU-backed virtual workstations running graphic-heavy applications at full speed across 50 schools.
Instant Software Updates
Centralized image management cut update rollout from weeks to 30 minutes — one change propagates district-wide.
BYOD-Ready Architecture
Students access their desktops from any device — lab computer, Chromebook, personal laptop, or tablet.
The Results
LRSD delivered 50× the user capacity of their previous system with dramatically improved operational efficiency.
- 90% of software issues resolved via reboot/refresh
- Project funded by Project Lead the Way (PLTW) grant
- 25,000 students served across 50 schools
- BYOD across 40+ locations enabled
"The VDI platform let us scale curriculum access across the entire district without the hardware refresh cycle that used to eat our budget. Software updates went from a quarterly project to a 30-minute task."
