Rome, Italy, Feb. 10, 2009 – NoMachine NX will be featured as part of
the new school desktop solution, DESQUE, to be showcased by
Kreisbildstelle Stade, provider of new technologies to public schools,
at the leading educational event, DIDACTA 2009. This event is the
largest education exhibition in Germany and is set to run today through
February 14 in Hanover, Germany.
NX plays a fundamental role
in the DESQUE solution, guaranteeing secure and reliable access to
schools' virtualized desktop infrastructures. Developed in association
with budget-IT, an OpenSource Solution provider, DESQUE adopts NX
technology as the remote access and application delivery method
allowing teachers and students to quickly and easily access their
school workstations from anywhere with Internet access.
DESQUE
provides virtualized KDE desktops using NX to remotely access the
Debian Linux servers located in the operational center in Hamburg,
Germany. The Xen hypervisor allows the servers to be divided into a
number of virtual machine (VM) environments. Then NX provides the
teachers and students remote access from home or school to these VMs,
which can host up to 70 programs needed for educational purposes.
The
DESQUE project was founded in 2008 by the Kreisbildstelle Stade. Jorg
Steinmann, head of the local administrative department, says, “One of
the biggest advantages is the fact that new computers are not needed in
public schools anymore, reducing the cost of hardware, software, and
maintenance. On the green side, this solution reduces printing costs
and power consumption by 70%. In Germany, there is no other project
like this. It is very unique.”
At DIDACTA, visitors interested
in trying DESQUE first hand, can test it out immediately with the demo
server NoMachine has provided for this event. They can also receive a
free demo CD to install the NX Client and connect directly to the demo
server to test the solution on their own. For more information on this
