In short, Watsonville High School needed help. This became even more evident when the district installed a new backbone for the school, and two hundred computers lost Internet access. After researching the subject, school administrators determined a server-based computing ASP model would best meet their needs, including impending growth issues. With server-based computing, applications and data are loaded and maintained on a central server. Teachers and students access software applications form any computer connected to the system.

It's a scalable and flexible IT technology infrastructure that allows Watsonville High school to quickly and cost-effectively support its growth. Through the Digital High School Education Technology Grant Program, the district has received funding to update its technology infrastructure. After and extensive search, they turned to FutureLink , a leading application service provider and reseller of server-based computing solutions. The system is working exactly as planned. FutureLink also provides ongoing IT support.
