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 Educators face budget cuts, few or outdated PCs, limited IT support staff, crowded and hot computer labs, growing student populations, and the desire to move e-learning into the classroom.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%.

  • Minimal Investment

    A complete classroom solution can be set up from start to finish in minutes.

  • Maximum Capacity

    Support more than 30 times the number of students in a classroom or lab.

  • Managed Performance

    Quickly access information across the campus, library or school.

  • 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.
