Putting Education First

“We’re providing teachers with tools to better enhance their students’ educational experience. That’s our bottom line. Having a partner like Dell that understands our needs is extremely valuable.”

- Chris Ragsdale, CTO, Cobb County School District

Faced with old equipment in classrooms, out-of-warranty servers and burgeoning break/fix costs, the Cobb County School District needed to overhaul its IT infrastructure in order to provide students with the best possible educational experience.

The district deployed Dell^TM  OptiPlex^TM  desktops, Dell Latitude^TM  notebooks and Dell PowerEdge^TM  servers, completing the entire rollout in just nine months.

• Get IT Faster: 34,000 desktops refreshed in 9 months; 46 server migrations accomplished in 8 weeks; one point of contact helps streamline procurement and support
• Run IT Better: easy license management with standardized software rollout; 99% uptime for critical applications; expedited break/fix using Dell Warranty Parts Direct; approximately $374,000 annual savings in energy costs by replacing CRT monitors
