Designed for the educational field the product allows users to control multiple terminals and Thin Client in a Windows environment and governed by a single computer that acts as host.

Microsoft just announced the launch of Windows Multipoint Server 2010, the new system capable of supporting multiple users from a centralized server. Its aim is to penetrate more heavily in the education area also offers academic licenses cheaper than traditional.

The main idea of Windows Multipoint Server 2010 is to reduce the computer equipment in schools, since it only requires the deployment of thin clients, which would connect the main host.

In fact, these low cost terminals and reduced energy consumption simply could connect to the server via the video card or the USB interface. Meanwhile, students may maintain separate accounts while working in a Windows environment.

On the PC side that would serve as the server, administrators, teachers or any other person responsible can upload content to a public folder of documents, which appear as thin client’s book stores. However, as the company says, Windows Multipoint Server 2010 could be deployed in other environments beyond education, as is the case for small workgroups.
