Andalusia deploys 220,000 Ubuntu desktops in schools throughout the region

The Andalusian Regional Government, Spain, wanted to improve access to IT in schools throughout the region. It asked IT services company infrastructure to connect 2,000 schools in Andalusia. Isotrol implemented 220,000 Ubuntu-based workstations in more than 2,000 schools throughout the region.

Teachers and students can share information quickly and easily, while each school receives dedicated support from a centralised support service.
