Lower cost PC access for more students
The HP MultiSeat Computing Solution comprises of a host PC, the HP MultiSeat ms6000 PC, to be shared with up to 10 students, connected via the HP MultiSeat t100 Thin Client. This shared resourcing model utilizes the host PC’s excess processing resources to operate the additional computing stations. Only the host PC is powered up, meaning less energy consumption and associated costs, thus enabling schools to increase student access to technology at a much reduced cost to build computer literacy skills from a young age.
· IT managers can save a vast amount of time spent on client management, maintenance and upgrades through managing only one host PC instead of 10 PCs.
· Each HP MultiSeat t100 Thin Client is energy efficient, consuming only 2.5 watts of power.
The HP MultiSeat Computing solution is fully licensed and powered by Microsoft’s new Windows MultiPoint Server 2010.
