VCU faculty, staff, and students can access applications on App2Go from any location via the browser or clients on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Your computer must have a fast Internet connection (e.g., on-campus network, fiber, etc.). The App2Go system is licensed to support a maximum of 250 concurrent users, limiting access to 250 people at one time.
CAUTION: The App2Go system is NOT intended for use with sensitive data. Sensitive data should be de-identified before using it on this server.
Using applications on the App2Go system has several advantages:

The software available on the App2Go system may only be used by current VCU faculty, staff and students for VCU work only. The App2Go system is licensed to support 250 concurrent users, limiting the use to 250 people on the App2Go system at one time. Due to this limitation, the App2Go system is NOT intended for instructional use.
The App2Go system is a server farm consisting of 4 servers, each with quad-core 3.00 GHz processors and 16GB ram.
A centrally managed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with distributed authority to schools and departments for creation, management, and deployment of virtual desktop will be implemented using Citrix XenDesktop. The pilot is limited in size and scope - depending on the total requests there may be a limitation to the number of desktops allocated to each school/department. Please discuss with your department's IT support to complete the following form to request VDI seat access:
