Follow on Google News | NoMachine Offers Education Licensing to Reduce IT Expenditure for Non-Profits and EducationProgram extends remote access, hosted desktop deployment and application delivery to education and non-profit sectors to meet reduced budget requirements
By: Katie Glossner NoMachine's all-inclusive, subscription- Academic institutions at both the K-12 and university level are required to operate at the same or higher academic standards as in previous years, but with reduced budgets. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, K-12 education spending in the U.S. was reduced in over half of the states in 2008 and 2009, with higher education spending reduced in 38 states. Other parts of the world, including Europe, are reducing public funds for the education sector as well. With even more cuts being issued for 2011, educational institutions struggle to offer students and staff better computing experiences in classrooms, laboratories, from home or anywhere on campus. NoMachine NX provides a hosted desktop and fast remote access solution allowing students and faculty to access resources, applications and programs stored on the school or campus servers from anywhere. Hardware, software and travel costs are subsequently lowered and productivity is increased by providing mobile connectivity. Some of the many participants benefiting from the Education licensing program include Mosaic, University of Virginia, University of Chicago, University of Colorado, University of Leicester, University of Limoges and University of Michigan. Mosaic successfully migrated its entire infrastructure from Windows to Linux with NX to reduce costs, improve performance and enhance security. Data storage and security administrator for Mosaic National Office, Thomas Keown, said, “There really is no comparison to be made to other solutions, as the cost of NX in terms of the overall IT expenditure is almost negligible.” The Computational Systems Biology Laboratory (CSBL) at the University of Virginia uses NX to ensure students and faculty receive a full and consistent desktop with application delivery from remote locations just as if they were in a classroom on campus. IT specialist for the CSBL, Michael Saravo, said “Along with anywhere access to research, NX saves us money by providing an easy method for desktop replacement allowing users to extend the life cycle of slower and older machines by running applications on back-end servers, significantly reducing our hardware costs.” To read success stories from education and non-profit organizations please visit http://www.nomachine.com/ To find out if you qualify for a discount or to learn more about NoMachine pricing and subscription options, please visit http://www.nomachine.com/ # # # About NoMachine Based in Rome, Italy, NoMachine is the creator of award-winning NX software, an enterprise-class solution for secure remote access, application delivery, and hosted desktop deployment.
