Userful Blog

All of us at Userful are very proud to announce that, in partnership with ThinNetworks, we've been selected to supply 356,800 virtualized desktops to schools in all of Brazil's 5,560 municipalities – making it the largest virtual desktop and Linux deployment in history and providing computer access to millions of school children in Brazil, even in the remotest regions – enhancing their ability to participate directly in the knowledge-based economy.

The deployment will also save the Brazilian government up to 60% in upfront IT and support costs, up to 80% in annual power savings – and on the 'save our planet' front - more than 170,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

Mr. Armstrong was right. It IS a wonderful world.
