NComputing Gives Computer Access To 600 Schools In Bihar

NComputing has announced it has been selected to provide desktop computer access to 600 government schools as part a computer literacy initiative launched by the Bihar government. The goal of this initiative is to build 600 computer labs throughout the State to make computer access and learning available to school children for the first time.

Each of the 600 government schools will have a 12-seat computer lab, made possible by attaching 10 NComputing X550 desktop access devices to 2 desktop PCs. NComputing’s desktop virtualisation software and hardware solution provides affordable initial and ongoing desktop computing access.

“In a region of such promise as Bihar, where almost 60% of the population is under 25, much of its future lies in the next generation of educated and ICT aware students. Our products and technology overcome challenges of costly PCs and on-going maintenance, infrastructure and limited energy resources. We are proud to be involved in this computer literacy initiative In just 3 years, over 18000 schools around India have turned to NComputing to deliver desktop computing access,” said Stephen Dukker, CEO, NComputing.

The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of users only use a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. NComputing’s desktop virtualisation solution taps this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously used by many students.
