A training institute in Bihar sets new environmental benchmarks

Challenge

To train its officers, the government of Bihar needed to set up a lab for at least 100 users within a limited budget and a challenging time frame of just two weeks. The space available to set up the lab was also limited. Power was also constrained, mainly because the state depends on other states for its energy needs. To meet these challenges, the state government searched for a solution that would be low-cost and energy-efficient, take less desk space, and be quick to deploy.

Solution

The Centre of Excellence (CoE) selected NComputing’s L-series and X-Series desktop virtualization solutions to set up a training facility for 100 users.

Results

The pilot lab setup for 30 users was ready in 9 days, thanks to NComputing’s quick, plug-and-play deployment process.
CoE’s computer labs now can support the annual training needs of a large percentage of government employees in Bihar.
NComputing’s desktop virtualization technology significantly reduced costs for hardware acquisition and implementation.
Because NComputing units consume just 1 watt of electricity, compared to 120–150 watts with the traditional PC, the lab has realized a 56-percent savings in energy consumption.
CoE won the NComputing Go Green innovation award for being the greenest NComputing installation in Eastern India.

“NComputing’s innovative solution gave us the best value for money, with huge savings and a reduced TCO. The flexibility and the ease of use with any operating system made the solution convenient to deploy and use, and the minimal space required to set up the lab has led to substantial space savings for us.”
