Increase Pupil Access

Thin client technology allows you to provide more ICT equipment for your school budget.

This enables you to place more computers in more locations, giving both teachers and pupils greater access to ICT. Teachers will be able to use ICT to prepare lessons and for management tasks, and achieved greater flexibility of working.

The Netvoyager thin client is a standalone web access machine meaning that the user can browse the web without having to access the school server.
However if the user wishes to use applications or access curriculum software then they must connect to the school portal. Software such as Microsoft Encarta with full motion video and Macromedia suite including products such as Dreamweaver, function excellently on a thin client network.

Home Access

' The use of the thin clients for home use has proved a fantastic success ' commented Andi Tudor-Nash of Haywood High School Stoke on Trent.

The School were looking for a home access solution to enable pupils to use their elearning portal for a project funded by the West Midlands Regeneration Fund and turned to IT provider ICT Networks.

The brief given to the company was to provide the school with a solution that would allow some 250 students who had no access to a home PC to connect to the schools elearning portal. ICT Networks decided to provide a thin client solution using Netvoyager thin clients, Citrix Terminal Services Software and HP Blade Servers.
