Extend the reach of students and faculty to educational resources, from anywhere and any device
In an increasingly online and mobile world, K-12 and higher education need to provide students and faculty with simple, reliable and secure access to a wide range of learning, collaboration and productivity resources, from anywhere and from any device. Whether hosted on Terminal Servers / RDS / VDI running in the data center / virtual lab, or residing on the Web — critical educational resources must be available to students and faculty both on or off-campus, from Chromebooks, PCs, Macs, iPads, smartphones, tablets and other end-user devices. IT needs to manage all this within tight IT budget and resource constraints.
