The Covenant Prep School
The Covenant Prep School in Hartford Connecticut recieved a grant for a new Mac Lab but lacked the expertise to deploy it. Foresite Technologies in East Hartford came to the rescue!
An Apple Xserve was configured with an existing firewall to provide secure internet access for the students. Twenty-one iMacs were setup on the network for staff and the student computer lab. A member of the Covenant School staff was trained to manage the systems once the school year began.
Scripts were applied to turn on and off the computers at certain times of day to save energy. The school was also concerned about what to do with the older iMacs that were being replaced with this new equipment. ForeSite contacted "My SBK", a local nonprofit that reclaims and refurbishes donated computer equipment for distribution to nonprofit organizations and people in need. A group of 6 iMacs is already on the way to students in the city's Y-Us student program - a win-win for Hartford's youth.
