The Challenge
We met with this client in reference to their classroom
environment, which had a pressing need for uniformity of all
the student's desktop PC's and the instructor's workstation.
After an all-inclusive needs and wants analysis with
administrators and staff, we generated the Network
Consulting Documentation.
The Approach
Generated from a detailed inspection and evaluation of the
systems and network, the encompassed only the Local Area Network affected by
this situation within their intranet, so as not to burden
the client's IT budget with unnecessary costs.
We then designed the solutions to correct the
inconsistencies in the classroom and presented the findings,
along with solutions, to the administrators.
In order to provide efficient classroom symmetry, it was
determined that a network multicast system configuration
application would provide the proper constraints for the
dynamic situation of the student training schedules.
A time line was developed including goals and project
update meetings to ensure direction and schedule adherence.
Implementation was initiated by configuring master
workstations for the different curriculum types. Images of
the workstations were then stored and categorized on a
server to provide a central configuration point for delivery
to the appropriate workstations. Once the server was
configured, the instructors were taught how to invoke the
imaging process, which created the symmetry between
classroom computers for the different curriculums.
The Results
The end result was uniformity, increased productivity and
efficiency. This was a true collaborated effort, which
resulted in outstanding efficiency and control of the
classroom environment. |
