The education that children receive in school can greatly affect 
whether or not they will succeed in life. And in today’s 
increas-ingly digital and connected world, knowing how to 
work with a computer is no longer a nice skill to have, but a 
requirement in almost any job. But between hardware and 
software costs, little to no IT budgets and high energy prices, 
giving each student a computer to use is not always possible 
for schools.
Now there’s a way to get the power of computing into schools 
more quickly and affordably than ever. Windows

 MultiPoint
 
Server 2010 is a Windows-based solution that uses a single 
host computer to power multiple, simultaneous and 
independent user stations. It has a low total cost of ownership, 
is easy to set up and use, and gives educators the tools and 
technology they need to prepare their students for success.
Increased student  
access to technology.
Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 makes it easier for schools to 
give more students access to computing, whether in the 
classroom, lab or school library. With Windows MultiPoint 
Server 2010, multiple stations can be powered by a single host 
computer. Each user station is directly connected to the host 
computer and consists of a monitor, keyboard and mouse.  But 
even though they are sharing the processing capabilities of 
one computer, each user experiences his or her own 
independent computing session.
A great computing experience  
at a lower total cost of ownership.
Many schools have limited budgets and can’t afford as many 
computers as they’d like. Others may have computers, but 
don’t have enough IT resources to maintain and ensure that 
they are secure and running smoothly. With Windows 
MultiPoint Server 2010, you can use a single computer to give 
multiple users access to computing for a fraction of the 
purchase, maintenance and operating cost of the traditional 
one-to-one computing model. Even energy consumption and 
associated costs can be lower because you’re only powering 
one computer and its associated stations, rather than multiple 
computers.
Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 doesn’t just help lower the 
costs of computing. It also gives you the flexibility to purchase 
the right amount of computing for your needs. For instance, 
you may decide to add a Windows MultiPoint Server set up to 
each classroom, with one station for each student. If another 
student joins the class, it’s simple to add another station. Or 
perhaps you already have enough computers in the class-
room, but you want a cost-effective way to add a computer 
lab or extend computers to your library. And if you already 
have monitors, mice and keyboards, you can use them as part 
of your solution, so that the money you’ve already invested 
won’t go to waste.
Simple technology  
that works for schools.
It’s easy to start using Windows MultiPoint Server 2010. With 
out-of-the-box set up and configuration, teachers can get the 
solution up and running quickly. Simply set up the host 
computer and then, through the MultiPoint Manager - 
designed especially for non-technical professionals - easily 
connect the user stations. If you need to add another station 
to an existing set up, just plug in another monitor, keyboard 
and mouse.
