4. City of Cupertino, IT Manager, Mariyah Serratos gave an extensive report on the proposed new
VDI infrastructure for the City. There was extensive discussion on pluses and minuses of virtual
desktops. Commissioner Livingood suggested an immediate, short-term pilot project with 30-50
users as an initial test that would perhaps not require the considerable work of an RFP to get the
necessary hardware and software to initiate. Ms. Serratos thought that was an excellent idea but
needed to discuss with the City Attorney. She will report back to the TICC after that. The TICC
agreed unanimously to support her VDI plan.
