Devon IT is the fastest growing provider of thin client terminals and are innovators of the SafeBook thin client notebook form factor – allowing children to take their laptops home with no danger of losing any data.
"Rather than add more staff to support increased technology, schools can take advantage of thin client technologies that reduce the number of hours it takes to support each machine and improve reliability while giving students the same desktop experience." Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT.
With school systems and their IT employees facing the constant burdens of both paying for expensive IT solutions and upgrades and managing hundreds or thousands of desktop PCs with little staff, Devon IT has also introduced Chalk 2.0, a low-cost IT solutions package for schools and school systems. Chalk 2.0 solves many of the problems IT professionals in the education vertical face, including cost and manageability of IT services, by implementing server-based applications and secure thin client devices.
Thin clients are a great, green option for schools - they typically consume 15-30 kilowatts, as opposed to 150-200 kilowatts by your average school PC. Across all its education clients, depending on the exact configuration and set-up, Devon IT has seen schools use 60-80% less energy by implementing thin client solutions.
Devon IT showcased their SafeBook at the VIA booth (the SafeBook runs a 1.5GHz VIA C7-M) at the Green California Schools Summit, which I posted about a week or so ago. Check out this video giving us a look at it and talking about some of its benefits.
