Private Cloud Computing

Students live in a digital world. But they often must disconnect when entering the learning environment. To transform education for this connected generation, we need to grant them – as well as teachers, parents and administrators – access to learning resources both in the classroom and beyond.

Now thanks to a Dell and Stoneware partnership, that educational vision is a reality. Private cloud computing enables every member of the school community to remotely access their applications, documents, assignments, grades and more from any Internet-enabled device, either school-issued or privately owned.

Students can access their homework and projects 24/7 and benefit from greater interactivity both inside and outside the classroom.

Parents gain the ability to track their child’s progress and collaborate with teachers.

Teachers can securely work within applications and files to create lesson plans or update assignments real time, using the user-friendly Web desktop interface, conveniently from home, or a coffee shop or a park bench.

Technologists can centrally manage applications that reside on their local district network or at a remote location and leverage Web applications to cut costs.

The private cloud is a centralized service installed on your servers, inside your network, managed by your IT staff. Your organization’s applications, documents, content, data, and services can be easily “plugged” in to the private cloud, where users – in this case your school community – can gain secure access with just an Internet connection and a Web browser, from anywhere, inside the classroom or out.

This unique solution has been developed by Dell and Stoneware to meet the specific needs of school communities just like yours. Your Dell Sales Rep will discuss with you how your school can take advantage of private cloud computing, as well as how easy it is to implement and manage.

Members of your school community will access the private cloud through the Web browser of any Internet-connected device, either school issued or privately owned. After authenticating with their network ID and password, they will see their own personalized virtual Web desktop, which contains all district applications, content and services. Everything delivered through the private cloud will be secured, provisioned and accessed via a single sign-on.

Here are just a few of the tremendous advantages this solution offers to school IT personnel:

No need for VPN software on any devices Unique layer of security between the outside world and school network All applications reside centrally within your school network or at a hosted location, simplifying IT management, increasing scalability and eliminating software updates across end devices Reduced licensing costs through Web applications Reduced hardware costs through usage of private devices Seamless support to teachers and students so that learning is never disrupted
