Turn 1 PC into 15:Direct Virtualization via GreenBridge Computing
David YungerFounder and President
GreenBridge Computing, IncOctober, 2012
What we hear from school districts:
1. “We need to do more with less.”2. “We spend too much time managing
technology.”3. “Managing 1:1 / BYOD is a nightmare.”4. “We tried thin clients, but don’t like them
because:
a) Performance is poor (particularly multi-media);
b) We need a unique IP address for exams;c) They are too expensive (often more than
PCs);d) We want to move to 1:1.”
The GreenBridge Mission
• Our mission is to provide the highest quality digital access at a fraction of the cost.
• We help schools cut costs while expanding technology access and enabling 21st century skills development.
• We provide BOTH unsurpassed performance AND affordability, because we eliminate the need for thin clients.
• “DON’T SETTLE.”
Value Proposition
Opportunity: “Direct virtualize” a singe PC into 10+ workstations. Each user has their own monitor, mouse, and keyboard, each with an independent Windows computing experience – at a fraction of the cost.
Benefits: • 60% hardware savings• 90% IT maintenance savings• 80% energy savings

Case Study: Bellevue School District, WA, USA
“..we saved $70,000 on hardware by purchasing Multipoint Servers instead of individual desktops. We saved $60,000 on network switches…and we saved about $5,000 on networking cabling.”

Case Study: Haiti
“[This solution] will likely save us hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy costs.”
