Ubiquitous provides full IT solutions that address many of the challenges faced by the cash strapped public sector.
Technical Services offers benefits to the education sector at a number of levels and is working within the sector to upgrade complete systems and take the onerous and time-consuming aspects of IT care to a new level of managed service. Technical Services is able to provide new hardware and software solutions including cloud based and dedicated on-site servers.
The advantage of a cloud based system for servers is increased data security, off-site back-up, and regaining the physical space traditionally used by servers. One of the primary benefits for the education sector will be enabling schools to increase the number of computer monitors and laptop computers available to pupils while maintaining budgets.
Ubiquitous also has the ability to help this sector reach its environmental goals through reduced carbon footprint. The necessity for constant power to the servers and dedicated air-conditioning systems is removed as the servers go off-site.
Chris Geary, Head of Business Solutions for Technical Services said, “Being part of Kent County Council provides us with a strong knowledge base of the education sector. We understand many of the challenges faced by the sector.”
Mr Geary continued, “This knowledge allows us to provide a completely hosted or partially hosted service designed around the specific needs of education establishments. In some cases we have been able to double the amount of desk based workstations without increasing the actual IT spend.”
Key benefits for education include longer lifecycle of hardware, reduced software licence costs, secure automated off-site back up of information and the flexibility of allowing students to work remotely from other locations. Environmental benefits include increased energy efficiency, a typical Ubiquitous Sun Ray unit consumes about 20w per hour (including server power consumed), compared with the average PC which is around 150w, providing an 86% power saving.
