Ownership
in the Education Enterprise
 The
Internet age has radically changed the way schools use technology. No
longer confined to the computer lab,
technology now plays an integral role in the everyday
life of students, faculty, administrators and
staff throughout the learning process —from primary/secondary
schools to higher education. With
technology’s expanding role, however, comes a corresponding rise in
cost. As a result, educational institutions
must cope with the complex and cumulative costs
that private sector businesses have faced for years.
In an attempt to better
understand the costs of technology, businesses
have relied on models that figure their
total cost of ownership (TCO). Traditional TCO
models, however, are starting to be regarded by
many as obsolete. They generally address only
the cost of
owning and maintaining desktop hardware, without
taking into account the bigger picture that includes
the additional and substantial costs of
purchasing, supporting and maintaining the software
applications that users require to meet individual,
organizational or educational needs.

Thin-Client
Solutions for K-12 Schools
 Most schools today regard integrating technology into the learning process a critical
priority. Nearly every school in the country has access to the Internet (88.8 percent of public
schools in 1999), with the number of computers available for students and educators increasing
each year. As access expands, the long-term costs for
maintaining, updating, and managing
technology spiral out of control. Schools need an affordable solution to today’s demand for
reliable, consistent access to technology for learning. This white paper examines the barriers
to affordable technology for schools and reviews thin-client technology as one solution
to the problem.

Solutions
in Education
 The challenges facing schools today are
daunting. In addition to providing instruction to growing student
populations, educators face mounting pressure to provide
more individualized instruction. And school districts experience
organizational and operational complexity similar to that
found in major corporations. But what if schools and school
districts had a simple, efficient, cost-effective way to meet these
challenges? Consider how productive educators could be —and how much
more effectively students could learn if they could tap resources that have
boosted productivity at 80 percent of Fortune 500®
companies. Think how efficient administrators could be if
schools could centralize scheduling, attendance, email, state and federal
reporting and individual education plans. How smoothly schools would
run if they could simplify technology management. And how far budgets
would stretch if schools could extend the useful life of their hardware and
software investments. Citrix® application server software can provide
answers to these and other needs.

A
Guide to Enriching Education Through
Affordable Technology
 Students today have instant access to the world from within their schools. Computers and communications
technology have transformed educational institutions by connecting
students to the vast learning resources of the world. To ensure access to new technology for students and teachers, school administrators must invest in
networks, computers, software, training, and support staff. The challenges are many: finding funds to acquire
and support technology, training teachers, maintaining equipment, and securing equipment and data.
Most schools have a patchwork of technology pieced together from many sources. It is supported by a few
information services staff or technology coordinators, and the teachers and students who use it. School
districts need a comprehensive, scaleable solution that builds on their existing investment and presents a
clear path to the future. One solution is to reduce time and money spent on individual desktop computers by
migrating to a shared thin-client computing environment. The idea behind thin-client computing is simple:
centralize computing power, storage, applications, and data on-servers-(powerful computers) and provide
users with a simple-client-device that is easy to install and requires no hands-on maintenance. The client
connects to the server through the network to run applications, access files, print, and perform services
available to ordinary computers.
