Education
and research have unique challenges which are well addressed by IGEL
thin clients. Young children, tampering students, many users sharing a
single desktop, remote classrooms requiring support and constant cost
pressures are all well addressed by IGEL's robust design, integrated
Smartcard readers and powerful remote management software.

Taunton School
Taunton
school opts for thin clients from IGEL Technology to establish a
digital language lab and to standardize its computing infrastructure
Taunton School, a British boarding and day school, educates boys and
girls from the ages of 2 to 18. The private school is a leading
provider of IT education for all age groups with a state-of-the-art IT
infrastructure. Both teachers and pupils have their own intranet
platform and teleworking access. Even the language lab has gone
digital, and online exams are taken on screen. All this has been made
possible by a cost-effective server-based computing architecture with
low-maintenance IGEL thin clients that give the 1,000 pupils and 350
staff cost-effective access to centralized applications.

Stoke Canon Primary School
IGEL thin clients top of the class at Stoke Canon Primary School.
A primary school in the Devon countryside may at fi rst seem an
unlikely setting for technology innovation in education but Stoke Canon
Primary School, just outside Exeter, has a history of making good use
of IT to assist its 170 pupils. One of the fi rst primary schools to
install and network computers in the classroom in the 1980s, Stoke
Canon, with the help of its Head Malcolm Hunt, is now at the forefront
of the thin client revolution in the classroom. “Our computing
infrastructure was beginning to creak and we were looking into
upgrading our network and PCs,” said Malcolm Hunt. “We were recommended
to look at IGEL thin clients and I was instantly impressed by what I
saw.”

Fraunhofer UMSICHT
Fraunhofer UMSICHT simplifies its IT infrastructure with the help of Server Based Computing (SBC) and Thin Clients from IGEL
The
Fraunhofer Institute of Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology
(UMSICHT) – in Oberhausen develops, investigates and optimizes
technical processes in the fields of environmental, safety, process and
energy technology. Its staff of 242, look after the interests of small
to medium-sized businesses, major companies and public institutions.
The institute's motto “Technology that pays off” refers to this external
transfer of knowledge as well as the ongoing optimization measures

Freie Universität Berlin
New Philosophical Library incorporates an ultramodern serverless Thin Client solution for catalog and online research
The
dedication of the 'Berlin Brain' on 14. September 2005 has given the
capital yet another fascinating architectural monument. Designed by the
renowned English architect and master builder Lord Norman Foster, the
new Philological Library of the Free University is modelled on the
human brain, and so combines design, functionality and the effective
use of space to impressive effect. The same exceptional combination is
also found expressed in the IT facilities. During the merger of eleven
sub-libraries, containing over 700,000 books, the Free University
developed a unique IT structure for catalog and online research.

Maastricht University
Maastricht University upgrades network and goes digital with IGEL
At
present, Holland's Universities and Colleges are very popular. In
addition to the bonus of living abroad, the characteristic concept of
the "problem based learning" particularly finds favor with foreign
students. Satisfactory research facilities and modern, functional
workstations are substantial for the success of the pioneering learning
principle which focuses on independent work in small groups of up to 10
persons with individual tutor care. The newly designed Maastricht
University Library justifies this claim technologically with a
Server-based computing architecture and centrally administrated Thin
Clients. 550 of the space-saving and economical end devices allow
students access to digital stores of knowledge and book summaries from
different professional libraries.

University of Göttingen
Lower admin costs, secure teleworking and satisfied users: the University of Göttingen is replacing their PCs with Thin Clients from IGEL
In 1737, committed to the critical spirit of the Enlightenment, the Georg-August University of Göttingen opened its doors. Today, the ‘Georgia Augusta’ still enjoys international acclaim. Thanks to its successful basic research, in particular in the sciences and humanities, the University’s name is linked with the careers of more than 40 Nobel prize winners. With its current course of reform, the University is looking to preserve and extend its international competitiveness.

Stadtbildstelle Bremerhaven
Bremerhaven’s city media centre, the Stadtbildstelle Bremerhaven, operates a cost-effective network for contemporary learning using thin clients donated by IGEL Technology.
For the Federal State of Bremen and the harbour city of Bremerhaven, modern, innovative learning concepts are an everyday part of school life. According to an initiative by the Bremen Education Senate every classroom of Bremerhaven’s 40 schools has to provide at least one or two computer workstations. With the help of thin client manufacturer IGEL Technology, the Stadtbildstelle Bremerhaven has achieved this objective with minimum financial outlay.
