University of Massachusetts Boston Chooses Persystent Software to Keep Classroom and Lab PCs Under Control
Tampa, FL, June 22, 2010 – Persystent Software, developers of Persystent Suite, the world’s fastest recovery solution for restoring PC application and operating system files, today announced that University of Massachusetts Boston -- a nationally recognized university serving more than 14,000 students -- will be using Persystent Suite to maintain and provide more control over their classroom and computer lab PCs.
The IT department of UMASS Boston is responsible for providing reliable and efficient technology resources, systems, services, tools and training to the University community. Among the many services they provide are mobile classrooms, general use computer labs, adaptive computer labs and technology enhanced classrooms. This technology offers great opportunities for learning but it also creates a higher level of expectation from the students and faculty when it comes to accessing it. Therefore, when an issue arises it is important for them to respond quickly and maintain accessibility.
That is the challenge the UMASS Boston IT team faces every day – maintaining control and increasing continuity of use for multi-user environment PCs -- and that is where Persystent Suite will offer the most value to them.
“Persystent Suite is ideal for managing multi-user environments, the automated repair feature ensures that PCs will always be ready for use,” says Len Summa, Vice President of Sales, Persystent Software. “If a student downloads software that interferes with other software programs or a virus enters the environment, Persystent can quickly control the damage by removing the unauthorized app and virus on reboot.”
Selecting Persystent Suite to help maintain their classroom and computer lab PCs will only help the UMASS Boston IT team to further provide excellent service to the members of their University community.
