Education

Thinking Thin for Smarter Desktops

Smile, school Administrators and IT pros. You can now deliver a PC-like experience to your students, save money and manage all your desktops from one place.

The majority of our customers are from the education vertical. Why? Because schools from nursery through to 6th form, colleges and universities are all facing the same problems: Limited staffing, deploying, troubleshooting, and managing thousands of expensive desktops.

More and more educational establishments are replacing traditional PCs with Thin Clients. Here’s why:

  • Manageability – IT staff can manage Thin Clients easier from one centralised location, instead of running across schools and campuses to troubleshoot large numbers of desktop PCs.
  • Cost-Savings & Green Technology – Thin Clients costs thousands of pounds less to deploy and drastically reduces energy costs, using 75%-85% less energy than a PC.
  • True PC-Like Experience - New technology, like the TC5 Thin Client and virtualisation software, allow students to watch video and access the Internet just like a PC.
  • Security - Students can be prevented from downloading files that contain spyware, malware, and viruses because all applications are stored at the data centre server – not the desktop.

Call Centres

Simplifying shared services environments one seat at a time.

Organisations like Call Centers that share services and applications deploy large numbers of desktops in their facilities. Management of these individual desktops is extremely tedious, time-consuming, inefficient, and costly.

Because most employees share applications and require only basic PC functionality such as data entry or email, Call Centers and like organisations have replaced bulky and expensive PC environments with Thin Clients.

Thin Clients meet many of the requirements that IT Directors are looking for – low cost, centralised management, ergonomic design, and decreased energy and space concerns with a reduction in power and cooling needs. Users get the same experience as a PC and IT staff can avoid the headaches of troubleshooting large numbers of a PCs.

Financial Services

From the Stock Exchange to the Square Mile and London Docklands., financial institutions need reliable, secure access to applications and sensitive customer information. High-powered Thin Client solutions from New World Netcom provide Financial Services organisations with the performance they need in high-energy jobs. From one location, IT personnel can deploy new applications and information without touching a single desktop and deliver legacy applications over the Web without rewriting a single line of code.

Industrial Design and Animation

Computer aided design (CAD) engineers, animators, and other power users demand the most advanced 3D applications – and a desktop that can handle high-end multimedia programs.

Until very recently, Thin Clients have not been able to support high-end graphics on the desktop. Devon IT’s TC10 Thin Client, fit with Teradici’s state-of-the-art PC-over-IP™ protocol, delivers power users the same user experience as traditional PCs, plus the added security and TCO benefits.
