With some 1200 students and 140 staff, the school's IT manager Olu Deyaolu said the large campus is not the easiest site to walk around and do maintenance on PCs.

"We started with PCs but we had to stay up to date with software so we were rolling out new images twice a year," Deyaolu said. "We always required software updates for clients which was quite hectic."

The school first looked at thin clients about two years when it deployed 50 Wyse S50 terminals in the staff work areas, however, to be suitable for students the thin clients needed to support more PC features plug and play for media devices such as cameras.

The school is now in the process of migrating the bulk of its remaining PCs to the more modern Wyse Streaming Manager solution, which allows more PC-like functionality.

By the end of the year the school will have some 380 thin clients in production.
