Workstation-based or centrally hosted applications
Where student computers have sufficient processing capacity, memory and software compatibility, suitable applications can run locally. A central server may support distribution, provisioning or administration. Where the selected applications support central hosting, students may access them from their workstations instead.
The appropriate model depends on verified device specifications, software requirements, server resources, concurrent users and the network. A central server cannot make every application compatible with older devices. A mixed architecture may be suitable for different activities.
Hybrid teaching alongside the lab
The infrastructure can also connect students with remote educators for live instruction, demonstrations and guidance, alongside local supervision. The computing model and the remote-teaching connection are separate design decisions that can be integrated into one environment.
Ensonic assesses requirements, designs the infrastructure and integrates the technology environment. Educational objectives, curriculum requirements and educator arrangements are defined with the institution and relevant academic partners.
Planning institutional and government programmes
A multi-site programme may need more than one configuration because institutions have different generations of computers, network conditions and operating needs. Assessment should establish reuse potential, application access, local support responsibilities and phased handover requirements.
Ensonic is pursuing opportunities to support ICT-to-AI infrastructure modernization. These discussions are not announcements of awarded or completed government projects.
