 So what is the Green I.T. Solution?
SoftXpand creates 6 fully independent computer workstations from just 1 PC, using only standard monitors, keyboards, mice and standard hardware. Class rooms and I.T. Suites require careful maximisation of space, so with up to 6 students / employees using just one computer, space, noise and energy comsumption are minimised.Security requirements are also reduced, having only to secure one unit rather than 6, minimising vulnerability to abuse or theft.

SoftXpand allows full flexibility, allowing teachers / employers to control screens without using a server and can issue independent instructions to every PC in the network. This is also an added bonus for conference rooms, internet cafes and libraries.

Hope Primary School SoftXpand Case Study

With SoftXpand, each user has their own workstation, consisting of a monitor, keyboard and mouse, which are connected to the host PC. The user experience at each workstation is the same as with a standard PC, and the user is completely unaware that they are actually sharing the PC’s power with up to 5 other users.

What Green issues will this be tackling and what benefits will I receive?

During regular use, less than 10% of a PCs processing power is used. SoftXpand has the ultimate green I.T. Solution with each of the 6 users being unaware that they are sharing with up to 5 others.

Custard Technical Services Ltd invite you to join them in their fight for a greener more efficient environment!
