Desktop Virtualization for Education
Schools face tough challenges. Budgets are tight, but demand for computing keeps growing. That's why more than 30,000 schools in 140 countries have already discovered that NComputing virtual desktops let you multiply computing access within your current budget.
Challenge
Education is based on the flow of information, but how can you afford to provide computer access everywhere? Educators face budget cuts, few or outdated PCs, limited IT support staff, crowded and hot computer labs, growing student populations, and the desire to move e-learning into the classroom. NComputing addresses growing complexity with simplification.
Solution
NComputing separates a desktop PC environment from a physical machine to a consolidated client-server computing model. That is, a student's desktop is hosted remotely and accessed via a thin client device over the Internet. Students no longer have a physical PC.
Benefits
Manage one virtual desktop OS for every 30 end-users thus reducing the number of operating systems to maintain by up to 97%.
-

The ideal desktop Students love the extra desk space, the silent operation, and the fast boot time. IT staff appreciate the quick set-up, simple operation, and data security. In short, NComputing is the ideal desktop across your school.
