Slide 12

Agenda



• Q&A


1. Hardware: Security and theft

• Easily secured• Useless without the network – no value to thieves• No local data


2: Hardware: Power and infrastructure

Less heat generated from devices requires less air conditioning

Power remote schools have limited power plugs

Poor infrastructure

Poor maintenance

25 users off 1 plug circuit due to low power requirements

Run all units and LCD on 12volt source

Huge savings in Utility bills


3. Hardware: Economies of scale

• 2 headsets per station to allow 2 users to share one desktop

• More users can interface with thin clients where schools have limited resources for students


4. Hardware: Space Ergonomics and environment

• Small form factor – ideal for labs and classrooms• Desk, wall or monitor mounted• Suitable for hostile environments


5. Hardware: Reliability

Solid state technologySwap-out replacementReduced support costs

Noisy fans and discs Solid state


6: Software: Viruses

• Read-only operating system• Cannot be broken, infected or permanently

modified by the user.RE

NLY

ReadOnly


7. Software: Rapid Deployment

• Operating system treated as a file• Centralised installation and upgrade• Automatic deployment to remote sites


8. Software: Controlled application interface

• Only deliver the required applications• Keep students on task• Familiar user interface


9. Software: High End Computing

• Required by all universities• Graphics, multimedia, VoIP and Skype etc


10. Software: Simplicity and support

• Easy to support = highly sustainable• Centralised management• No local specialist ICT skills required

Sustainable Easy to support

Agenda



• Q&A

Education is key to sustained social and economic opportunityEnabling individuals to

realize their full potential…

…and nations to compete in a

21st century global marketplace

But educators face multiple challenges to realize the promise of technology‒ High student to PC ratios‒ Limited budgets for new PCs‒ Aging technology (long refresh

cycles)‒ Limited professional IT support

resources‒ Limited ICT skills among teachers‒ Limited physical infrastructure, e.g.

electricity ‒ Need to reduce energy costs and/or

be energy efficient‒ Multilingual support requirements‒ Pressure to close the “digital gap”


Shared Resource Computing (SRC) helps reduce the total cost of ownership for school computing• What is it?

‒ One computer‒ Multiple users

• Lowers costs of ‒ Hardware acquisition ‒ Operating expenses‒ Management & maintenance‒ Energy and power
