In the face of unprecedented challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Gobelins School, a prestigious institution in the creative industries, has leveraged Reemo's remote desktop service to transform the educational experience for 1,100 students.

The Challenge: Navigating the Pandemic with Innovation

As the pandemic necessitated a rapid transition to remote learning, the Gobelins School was confronted with significant organizational hurdles in managing both in-person and online classes. The school's requirements were clear yet demanding, seeking a solution that could offer:

Power: Students needed access to high-performance machines to continue their advanced work in animation and 3D graphics while being at home.

Minimal Latency: The graphic-intensive nature of their projects made low latency a crucial factor, ensuring remote machines felt as responsive as if they were on-site.

Access Management: Quick invitation and rights management for students, along with scheduling of machine usage, were essential features for the pedagogical team.

Device Compatibility: Support for graphic tablets and dual monitors was paramount.

Simplicity: The solution had to be user-friendly for both students and administrative staff.

Gobelins, the School of Image, is internationally renowned for its excellence in the field of digital communication, visual arts, and multimedia.

Located in Paris, France, Gobelins has been educating students for over fifty years, offering a range of programs that include photography, cartoon animation, 3D animation, motion design, video game design, and graphic design.

It is especially celebrated for its animation program, often hailed as one of the best in the world, which has produced a plethora of talented individuals who have gone on to work in top animation studios such as Pixar, DreamWorks, and Disney.

The Reemo Solution: A Seamless and Powerful Remote Experience

Reemo was deployed and configured on school machines, allowing students to access them from their personal computers. This setup provided a powerful, low-latency remote desktop experience that was also completely secure.

Admin Console: A dedicated admin console was established for the Gobelins pedagogical team, enabling real-time management of sessions, machines, and licenses.

Optimized Configuration: Reemo's guidance helped the Gobelins team set up their remote sessions and configurations for optimal performance.

User Management: A key benefit was the ability to manage users and work times in real time, controlling access to machines while ensuring data security and restricting use outside permitted hours.

Compatibility and Ease: Reemo ensured full compatibility with graphic tablets and multi-monitors, facilitating a seamless connection through students' web browsers.

The Results

• 100 machines accessed distantly
• Project Continuity: Every project was conducted as seamlessly as if the students were physically present at school, indicating the negligible impact on productivity and quality.
• Global Accessibility: The solution enabled continuous work from places all over the world, demonstrating Reemo's capability to support a global student body without geographical limitations.
