Workstation/Lab Management

Cheqtel is implementing the very latest in technology that goes beyond just the servers and network infrastructure but right down to the desktop itself. The latest in workstation deployment and management is Ardence Software-Streaming Platform often referred to as Desktop Streaming.

Using Ardence's desktop streaming technology, any PC computer can be provisioned, or re-provisioned, with a Microsoft Windows OS or Linux OS from bare metal to productive use in seconds.

Cheqtel delivers an on-demand virtualization of the desktop through the use of Ardence. Ardence Desktop Streaming enables unprecedented agility that can deliver the right operating systems and applications, to the right computer, at the right time.

Ardence Desktop-Streaming is perhaps one of the most valuable tools a school can deploy. When the "total-cost-of-ownership" for the technology in the school is considered and the amount of time it takes to repair or redeploy even a single workstation then the value of Ardence Desktop-Streaming becomes even more apparent.

On Demand Virtualization
Near Zero Workstation Maintenance
Ardence Desktop-Streaming is perhaps one of the most valuable tools a school can deploy.

Shouldn’t your desktop PC be as dependable as the telephone? As the lights? Is it? With Ardence Desktop Streaming your PC is “on” and as reliable as a utility.

Computer lab management takes on an entirely new meaning when you deploy Ardence Desktop-Streaming. No longer do you manage your PC's one system at a time installing new software or updates. Make your changes once centrally on the Ardence image server and the very next time the lab PC's are restarted they will be updated. Additionally, you can now provision an entire lab with specific images for specific course instruction, for example, you boot your lab with a CAD/CAM image this hour and next hour boot the lab with a business classroom image.

This is not the same old tired imaging technology that has been around for 10 years or more, Ardence is different. When you boot your entire lab from an image, all your systems startup in seconds, less than 30 seconds is typical and with the image you specified. A multiple boot time images menu is available so you can choose between images and even what operating system your lab will startup with - that's right, you can start a Windows image or even a Linux image.

The potential with Ardence is amazing and there is much to discover. Contact sales at Cheqtel and request an Ardence trial for your school today!
