Abundant Ideas to Save IT Expenses
AND Enhance Services

EDTECH magazine has outlined a wealth of ideas to save IT money while expanding and enhancing K-12 technology in the April 2009 article, “Budgetary Blessings.”* As stated, “schools are trying to spend the money they do have wisely, or are finding creative ways to pay for new technology.”

Among the many suggestions outlined are:

  • Blade servers – upgrade servers and lower energy costs
  • Server virtualization – consolidates servers and reduces power and cooling costs
  • Netbook computers – a ‘good affordable option’
  • Reuse of old equipment
  • 5 ways to reduce energy costs
  • Greater use of online communication versus paper
  • Expanded online learning

These ideas and more are fully explained in the article (access below) and could save your district thousands while getting you closer to 1:1 computing.
