NWCSD #16 had a state-of-the-art thin client system from Sun Microsystems. The proprietary Sun thin clients and servers worked well, but maintenance costs were too high. In addition, many of the applications the school board wished to use in the schools were Linux based, open source programs. The IT department was investing much of its time trying to get the Linux applications working on the Sun operating system.
Systems Aligned was asked to produce a proposal for a Linux thin client solution, and stunned the school board with a total cost more than 50% lower than the estimate for a Microsoft Windows desktop/server solution. Operating and maintenace costs were also substantially lower than for the Windows desktops.
Systems Aligned implemented Linux thin client technology based on the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). 122 Sun Rays and four Sun servers were replaced with true thin clients and servers. The Symbiont Management Suite and CodeWeavers CrossOver Plugin were deployed to greatly simplify management of the thin clients and to integrate the Shockwave plugin with the Firefox web browser.
