Educational computing challenges
K-12 educators and IT professionals all voice the same concerns: budget cuts, not enough PCs, outdated PCs, limited IT support staff, crowded and hot computer labs, growing student populations, and the desire to move e-learning into the classroom. The only solution is through a technological breakthrough.
The solution is available today
NComputing's ultra low-cost desktops are so affordable that you can install twice as many workstations with your existing budget. Millions of students in more than 10,000 schools are already enjoying the benefits of NComputing's virtual desktops.
How does it work?
The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today's PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications only use a small fraction of the computer's capacity. NComputing taps this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by multiple students. Each student’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the shared PC through a small and very durable NComputing access device. Kids call them NComputers. You’ll call them rugged, durable, and easy to deploy and maintain because the device itself has no CPU, memory, or moving parts like a PC.
Save 75% on hardware
NComputing virtual desktops cost much less than dedicated computers, and NComputing devices don’t need to be replaced every few years. So when you upgrade your shared PCs, you save again.
Save 75% on maintenance
By drastically reducing the number of PCs you have to maintain, you reduce your annual support costs. Your school district saves money and your IT staff can work on other important projects.
Save 90% on electricity
At just one to five watts per device, NComputing solutions pay for themselves quickly in lower electricity bills. They are also a great lesson in green computing for students.
By dramatically lowering the total cost of computing, schools are making great strides in improving educational outcomes. They are shifting learning from labs to classrooms, better engaging students and teachers, and cutting effective class size. This leap in effectiveness is only possible with NComputing’s breakthrough solution.
