Veicon Extended Life Program (VELP) for Gates Foundation Computers
ADVANTAGES
  • The patron's privacy is protected since everything they do on the terminal disappears when it logs out.
  • Viruses cannot infect the network because even when downloaded they only reside in a terminal's memory until it logs out.
  • All Microsoft patches and software upgrades are automatically done on the server by Veicon via remote access.
  • Downtimes due to equipment or software failure will be greatly reduced because the terminals will have minimal hard drive usage and no application software installed.
  • If there is a breakdown Veicon will log into the network remotely to diagnose the problem and repair the terminal. If the problem cannot be resolved remotely the equipment will be shipped to Veicon's repair facilities and then returned ready to plug in and use.
  • The equipment will have an "extended life". Because the technology does not require constant equipment upgrades, terminals will not become obsolete like other computers.
  • Budgeting will be easier because maintenance costs will be consistent for many years.
  • Server maintenance is ERATE eligible. Veicon Technology Inc. SPIN#: 143027978
