Italian schools can provide secure desktops, reduce costs and ease transition of on-site computing to the cloud Rome,
Italy, May 10, 2011 - NoMachine, award-winning provider of virtual
desktop and application delivery software, and Deltaeffe, a leading
service provider and supplier of innovative technologies, today
announced a partnership that will feature NX as part of Deltaeffe's
Scuola Virtuale offering, or "Virtual School", allowing Italian schools
to easily deploy and manage hosted virtual Linux desktops and
applications in the cloud.
Scuola Virtuale, recently showcased at
SMAU Rome by Deltaeffe, is a solution aimed at educational institutions
that runs in Telecom Italia's cloud computing datacenter, Ospit@
Virtuale. Deltaeffe, a Telecom Italia partner since 2002, has now added
the Linux-based cloud service offering to its portfolio to help schools
reduce costs, ICT complexity and administration as well as ease the
transition of computing to the cloud. Linux services will be hosted on
NX Servers to permit secure access and an enhanced virtual desktop
computing experience.
By moving in-house ICT to the cloud,
schools avoid having to purchase expensive additional servers and a
range of disparate software solutions, with the additional expense of
continuous hands-on management and upgrade of the infrastructure. They
also minimize the risks of desktop theft and damage, use less energy and
reduce carbon footprint. Furthermore, parents get peace of mind knowing
that schools ensure pupils are provided with the opportunity to use
secure and locked down remote desktops, access online textbooks,
homework and much more outside of the traditional classroom, often at
home.
Hosting these resources on Linux servers and accessing them
via NX provides staff and students alike with fast and secure access to
their computing environment. Desktops and applications can be made
accessible to specific users, similarly other applications can be
disabled. Functionalities such as file-sharing, printing and desktop
sharing can be enabled to promote student-to-teacher and group
collaboration.
Deltaeffe, with its knowledge and expertise in the
latest cloud architectures and services, leverages Linux applications
to meet schools' IT implementation and support requirements ad-hoc. By
partnering with NoMachine, this knowledge is now extended to the
delivery of Linux virtual desktops in Telecom's cloud.
