1.
Authorize NComputing Equipment and Software Purchases
The Board approved the purchase of technology equipment and software for an amount not to
exceed $5,710.00. NComputing is a virtualization system that allows multiple users to share a
desktop. NComputing separates a desktop PC environment from a physical machine to a
consolidated client-server computing model. Consequently, desktops are hosted remotely and
accessed via a thin client device over the Internet. Virtualization reduces the presence of physical
equipment while maintaining network accessibility resulting in cost savings. The purchase of the
following NComputing equipment and licensing will allow the district to power what is equivalent
to fifty physical desktops. The current pricing for forty physical desktops is $28,000. Equipment
will be purchased at the best price utilizing MCIU consortium bids, the PEPPM contract and state
contract pricing.
