Technology that pays off

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 within the Institute.

Taunton School Modernizes IT Infrastructure with IGEL

Ideal computing device at half the cost

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.

IGEL beats competition to provide Freie Universität Berlin with a unified system

Thin Clients for the 'Berlin Brain'

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 upgrades network and goes digital with IGEL

The Maastricht University is reorganising its libraries according to a Server-Based Computing concept. Good grades for IGEL Thin Clients.

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.
