Azure Lab Services vs. Heropa

Azure Lab Services is incredibly beneficial to our school board as a replacement for high-end graphics workstations needed for courses utilizing 3d graphics - the Autodesk and Adobe suites of products. The devices have a cost that is considerably higher than our line of business devices. These high-end devices are designated only for use with those courses meaning that the devices remained underutilized. Azure Lab Services isn't a good replacement for regular workloads as the overhead for management is considerable compared to regular devices.
