Re-use older PCs
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.
