Thinix® Releases Software Platform for K-12 Education One to One Computer Initiatives

May 3, 2010 - PRLog -- (Milford, IA)  Thinix, a leader in secure computing and user interface computer technology is pleased to introduce Thinix One to One™, a comprehensive technology and service platform for K-12 one to one computer initiatives. One to one initiatives are programs in which schools match each student with a mobile computing device to be used by students, often both in school and at home.

Student one-to-one laptop initiatives hold the promise of enhancing student learning by making technology available to students in school, at home, or while traveling, however, there are numerous technical challenges in exactly how to get this done.  Thinix One to One™ is provides a technology framework which makes it easy to deploy and use student devices which saves the school district money by dramatically improving the reliability and security of student laptops.

Thinix One to One Program™ directly addresses the problems of deploying and managing large numbers of device running Microsoft Windows that will be used by students and that will not always be within the school network.  Thinix will be selling its One to One Program through select resellers and hardware partners throughout the United States.

Thinix has integrated a variety of technologies to create its One to One Program:

•   Thinix Touch User Interface  - makes computers easy to use
•   Thinix Disk Protection™  - secure computing technology
•   Enterprise Content Filtering software
•   Thinix Managed Services remotely updates and manages computers
•   Image creation and deployment tools
•   Technical Support Call Center

The result is computers that are easy to use, stateless, manageable, and which filter out objectionable content.  Computers equipped with Thinix DiskProtection™ are protected against mis-configuration, spyware, viruses and other malware.  This protection means that large numbers of computers can be deployed and the school can rest assured that the students will only be able to use the computers for their intended purposes.

"Thinix will be deploying the first installations of Thinix One to One this summer,” stated Thinix Director of Business Development, Anthony Clark.  “Thinix has the only comprehensive one to one computing technology platform for Microsoft Windows on the market, and as such we expect to see strong sales in this category.”

Thinix has several levels of service to cover the spectrum of one to one initiatives to include programs that provide protection for computer devices both in school and out of school.  Depending on the school's requirements the school can opt for an annual image update or can have updates scheduled throughout the year.  Thinix manages all updates so that the school can keep thier IT costs to a minimum.

Schools and prospective resellers and partners should contact Thinix directly for more information.
