MyApps (Virtual Desktop)

Summary

MyApps provides a virtual desktop environment with access to run all of the software licensed to any CWRU community member based on program of study, course enrollment or role at the university, without the need for installation on a computer.

Body

UTech offers thin clients, virtual computers, and virtual applications. Thin clients are inexpensive, small, low-power computing devices where the operating system, applications, and computing power and storage are provided by a server. The experience for the person using the thin client is almost identical to someone using a regular PC desktop, but the systems are less expensive, more secure, and easier to manage. Virtual windows computers and virtual applications are also available at https://myapps.case.edu. This web page allows members of the CWRU community to log into a virtual windows PC from any web browser or open many applications without having to install the application on your local computer.
