Turn 1 PC into 15: Direct Virtualization via GreenBridge Computing David Yunger Founder and President GreenBridge Computing, Inc October, 2012

What we hear from school districts: 1.“We need to do more with less.” 2.“We spend too much time managing technology.” 3.“Managing 1:1 / BYOD is a nightmare.” 4.“We tried thin clients, but don’t like them because: a)Performance is poor (particularly multi-media); b)We need a unique IP address for exams; c)They are too expensive (often more than PCs); d)We want to move to 1:1.”
3
The GreenBridge Mission Our mission is to provide the highest quality digital access at a fraction of the cost. We help schools cut costs while expanding technology access and enabling 21 st century skills development. We provide BOTH unsurpassed performance AND affordability, because we eliminate the need for thin clients. “DON’T SETTLE.”

Value Proposition Opportunity: “Direct virtualize” a singe PC into 10+ workstations. Each user has their own monitor, mouse, and keyboard, each with an independent Windows computing experience – at a fraction of the cost. Benefits: 60% hardware savings 90% IT maintenance savings 80% energy savings HOST COMPUTER Problem: Schools struggle to refresh & manage technology.

Case Study: Bellevue School District, WA, USA “..we saved $70,000 on hardware by purchasing Multipoint Servers instead of individual desktops. We saved $60,000 on network switches…and we saved about $5,000 on networking cabling.” Jason Golec Manager of Network Operations, Bellevue School District $135K hardware savings

Case Study: Haiti “[This solution] will likely save us hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy costs.”
