Small investment 'allows schools to grow'
07 Apr 2008
A minimal initial investment in Virtual Iron's solutions has allowed one school administrator to expand its network as required, it has emerged.
The company explains that the Pawtucket School Department in Rhode Island services 17 schools in the region but is limited in terms of its budgetary allocation for IT upgrades.
But by adopting the Virtual Iron software, the department was able to virtualise its data network for less than the cost would have been with some competitors after carrying out a free trial of the product.
Director of technology for the administrative body Mike St Jean tells Virtual Iron: "The IT staff will be able to reduce the electrical and cooling requirements of each school's central wiring and server closets - this is a significant factor in very old, cramped school buildings."
Virtual Iron recently revealed that it achieved "outstanding results" in the last six months of 2007 following accelerating uptake of its virtualisation software.
