- Centralized Management, Ease of Maintenance and Lower Total Cost of Ownership Drive Move to Centralized Computing
ClearCube Technology, the leader in centralized and virtual computing, announced today that Michigan State University’s Dubai campus selected ClearCube Technology’s R-series blade workstations and user ports for deployment in a student computer lab.
“Being able to update and manage all of the workstations from a single location was a huge benefit for us and made our decision to choose Bladetec to deploy ClearCube blade workstations very easy,” said Praveen De Silva, Principal Information Technologist, Michigan State University, Dubai campus. “We don’t have a large IT team and being able to manage all the ClearCube workstations from their advanced interface really helps streamline the maintenance of our dynamic computer lab, saves significant budget and human resources and keeps the students productive.”
“We’ve worked with ClearCube for seven years and the MSU deployment is a perfect application of their blade workstations,” said John Kingdon, Managing Director of Bladetec. “We’ve deployed ClearCube blade workstations in a myriad of government, financial services and education environments. Whenever there is a need for secure, energy efficient and centrally managed computing then ClearCube blade workstations are the solution of choice.”
ClearCube’s centralized computing solution replaces the box PCs at the desk with high performance, energy efficient and secure workstations located in the data center. ClearCube blade workstations are centrally managed through a single interface and therefore don’t require an IT technician to visit the end-user’s desk to address an issue. Because the energy efficiency, reliability and management time savings, ClearCube consistently delivers a total cost of ownership that is 40% less than comparable box PCs.
“Not only do blade clients require fewer staff in direct support of users, but the time required for all IT tasks associated with managing desktops is reduced by more than 50%,” said Randy Perry, Vice President, Business Value Consulting at IDC. “The time freed up amounted to an average of 7 hours per user annually that IT staff can use in more proactive business support activities.”
“We continue to see strong growth in the Middle East thanks in part to the efficiency of managing our blade workstations versus box PCs,” said Randy Printz, CEO of ClearCube. “We’re excited to have MSU as a customer and work with Bladetec to deliver a solution that fulfills their needs.”
