| Caledonia Area Public Schools |
In conjunction with its partner, Open Technologies, Sun provided Caledonia
Area Public Schools with a complete technology infrastructure that met its
computing challenges. The school's outdated computers were initially replaced
with a desktop computing solution comprised of 60 Sun Ray™ ultra-thin clients,
running Sun Ray Server Software 2.0, powered by three Sun Fire™ V210 servers.
In addition, the school replaced its Microsoft Office Software with Sun's StarOffice
Productivity Suite Software, providing the school with word processing, spreadsheet,
presentation, drawing, and database capabilities. To replace its antiquated
e-mail solution, the school deployed the Sun Java™ System Messaging Server, Sun
Java™ System Calendar Server, and Sun Java™ System Directory Server, powered by a Sun Fire™ V240 server.
After merely a year, the school was so satisfied with the increased productivity and
decreased maintenance costs, it increased the number of Sun Ray ultra-thin clients,
and additional servers supporting them, from 60 to 180. The school also upgraded to
Sun Ray Server Software 3.0 and Solaris™ 10 OS.
In addition, its new Sun Java™ System Messaging Server, Sun Java™ System Calendar
Server, and Sun Java™ System Directory Server e-mail solution provides a high-performance,
secure messaging platform to support its growing student and staff population.
Sun's StarOffice software has also saved on software upgrade costs and enables
students to easily transfers documents between their home and school computers.
