2: Hardware: Power and infrastructure

Less heat generated from devices requires less air conditioning

Power remote schools have limited power plugs

Poor infrastructure

Poor maintenance

25 users off 1 plug circuit due to low power requirements

Run all units and LCD on 12volt source

Huge savings in Utility bills

• Q&A

Education is key to sustained social and economic opportunityEnabling individuals to

realize their full potential…

…and nations to compete in a

21st century global marketplace

But educators face multiple challenges to realize the promise of technology‒ High student to PC ratios‒ Limited budgets for new PCs‒ Aging technology (long refresh

cycles)‒ Limited professional IT support

resources‒ Limited ICT skills among teachers‒ Limited physical infrastructure, e.g.

electricity ‒ Need to reduce energy costs and/or

be energy efficient‒ Multilingual support requirements‒ Pressure to close the “digital gap”

Shared Resource Computing (SRC) helps reduce the total cost of ownership for school computing• What is it?

‒ One computer‒ Multiple users

• Lowers costs of ‒ Hardware acquisition ‒ Operating expenses‒ Management & maintenance‒ Energy and power
