One thing is abundantly clear, technology is the driving force behind effective teaching and learning. From interactive lessons to online assessments, schools are increasingly reliant on digital resources to prepare students for a connected future. Yet, many educational institutions are grappling with the daunting task of upgrading their infrastructure to keep pace with the demands of the 21st-century classroom.
The Infrastructure Dilemma
As educational content becomes increasingly digitized, schools are tasked with providing reliable, high-performance computing resources to support a growing number of devices and users. This presents a considerable challenge, especially for institutions with limited budgets. Traditional desktop solutions are costly to deploy and maintain, often resulting in budget overruns and strained IT resources.
The Thin Client Advantage
Thin client computing offers a breath of fresh air in this scenario. By centralizing computing resources, thin clients streamline infrastructure management, reduce costs, and enhance security—all while delivering a responsive and consistent user experience.
1. Cost-Effective Deployment Traditional desktops necessitate substantial upfront investments, not just in hardware but also in the time and expertise required for setup. Thin clients, on the other hand, are budget-friendly alternatives. They rely on a centralized server infrastructure, meaning you can achieve more with fewer physical devices. This translates to significant savings on both hardware and electricity bills, allowing schools to allocate resources to other critical areas.
2. Simplified Maintenance
Managing a fleet of traditional desktops can be a never-ending task for IT administrators. Thin clients simplify this process considerably. Software updates, security patches, and troubleshooting become more efficient when performed centrally. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of downtime, ensuring that students and educators can access their resources when they need them.
3. Enhanced Security
Security is a crucial concern for schools, given the sensitive nature of student data and the increasing threats from cyberattacks. Thin clients bolster security by centralizing data storage and processing. This means that sensitive information is less vulnerable to breaches at individual endpoints. Additionally, thin clients can be easily configured to restrict access to unauthorized users, further fortifying the school’s digital defenses.
4. Scalability and Future-Proofing
As schools grow and technology evolves, scalability becomes a critical consideration. Thin client solutions are inherently scalable, allowing institutions to add or remove users and devices with ease. This scalability ensures that schools can adapt to changing needs without overhauling their entire infrastructure, effectively future-proofing their investments.
5. Eco-Friendly Benefits
In an age of increasing environmental consciousness, thin clients have another compelling advantage. They consume significantly less power than traditional desktops, reducing the school’s carbon footprint and contributing to sustainability efforts.

To hire or to develop technology? That’s the question.
Businesses today are faced with this pressing question. With their business roadmap already in place, and their technological transformation on top of their objectives, most companies are confronted with a dilemma, whether to hire additional employees or to develop and transform technological tools.
It will always be a convenient decision to lean more towards adding additional manpower, after all, the more employees, the more expected output. But what if you can increase your output in a more cost-efficient way, and without hiring additional headcount?
That’s where IT-managed services come in.
The utilization required to accomplish a certain task will always remain constant, adding additional headcount might accelerate the transformation, but only to a certain point. Hiring more workers to accomplish business objective might be a promising option at first, but only until the cost incurred pass way ahead of employee output.
When acquiring IT-managed services, you suddenly have an advantage of technological advancement, through the expertise of your IT Managed Services partner. Instantly, you double your capability, and have vast access to a wide IT specialization skills, as compared to hiring where you have to wait for every individual to be certified through training which may take a long time, during this time incurring the operational cost.
Technological progress, whether through the acquisition of new hardware or skill can indeed lead to sustained growth in output per worker, the rate of growth of output per worker depends on the rate of technological progress. This is the exact reason why despite the lockdowns when the pandemic hit, the domestic economy of the Philippines expanded by 7.1 percent, this adoption of technology helped the Philippine economy and is continuing to fuel growth initiatives most especially in the e-commerce sector.
With the advent of information technology, the service industry has more coverage when it comes to customer-reach. However, the services rendered are not as sustainable and this has caused a growing concern among corporate clients. Managed Service providers particularly in the IT industry should adopt sustainability and reflect these measures through their business model and the service they provide.
Working in the service industry for more than 10 years, I have to say that just stating that you have a strategy for sustainable facility management will no longer be enough, IT Managed Services Providers (MSP) will also need to prove that they can actually deliver sustainable services and support, this is easier said than done.
With more firms relying on services partners to meet sustainability objectives, here are 5 routes (While there are many), I believe IT MSP’s can take, to expand client partnerships through sustainable initiatives. (In reference from actual activities we’ve already initiated specifically for BEQUIK Information Solutions Inc. Managed Services)
1. IT MSPs can develop and navigate sustainable services strategies
As IT Service Providers, it is important to recognize that clients will look to us to help mitigate the risk of IT assets depreciation. IT assets, such as hardware and software, are critical components of many businesses, and their depreciation can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line.
To help clients mitigate this risk, IT service providers can offer a range of services, such as regular maintenance and updates to ensure that IT assets are operating at their maximum potential. We can also work with clients to develop a lifecycle management plan that takes into account the expected lifespan of IT assets and plans for their eventual replacement.
Ultimately, IT service providers that can help clients mitigate the risk of IT asset depreciation will be seen as trusted partners in the industry. By offering a range of services and solutions that address this risk, we can help clients to achieve their business goals while minimizing potential losses due to IT asset depreciation.
With Bequik’s Managed Services, we see to it that we implement proactive measures that mitigate these risks. Our regular health checks whether via remote or on-site ensures not only we mitigate these risks but more importantly keep our client’s IT infrastructure functioning optimally and secure always, all the time. By identifying potential issues and vulnerabilities before they become major problems, our clients can avoid costly downtime and ensure that their IT systems are providing maximum value to their business.
2. Clients will look to IT MSPs for sustainable ways to help mitigate the risk of IT assets depreciation
As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor in business operations, clients will indeed look to IT MSPs for sustainable ways to help mitigate the risk of IT assets depreciation. By implementing sustainable practices, we can not only help clients to reduce the risk of IT assets depreciation, but also contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
To help clients mitigate the risk of IT assets depreciation sustainably, IT MSPs can offer a range of services that take into account the full lifecycle of IT assets. This may include implementing energy-efficient technologies, such as virtualization and cloud computing, to reduce the amount of hardware needed and extend the lifespan of IT assets. By reducing energy consumption, clients can also reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
IT service providers can also work with clients to develop sustainable IT asset management plans that take into account the expected lifespan of IT assets and plan for their eventual replacement or repurposing. We can help clients to identify opportunities to reuse or recycle IT assets, reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy.
Bequik’s asset tracking and management services offers a wide range of benefits, including increased efficiency, reduced costs, improved accuracy, and enhanced data analysis capabilities.

3. Data Center owners will seek out mature energy management technologies
As the demand for data centers continues to grow, data center owners will increasingly seek out mature energy management technologies to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and meet sustainability goals. With the rising cost of energy and the impact of data centers on the environment, it is essential for data center owners to implement effective energy management strategies.
Mature energy management technologies, such as power usage effectiveness (PUE) monitoring, can help data center owners to optimize energy usage and reduce waste. By using PUE monitoring, data center owners can identify areas where energy usage can be reduced, such as through improved cooling systems or more efficient server utilization.
In addition to PUE monitoring, data center owners can also implement other mature energy management technologies, such as renewable energy sources and energy storage systems. By using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, data center owners can reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources and reduce their carbon footprint. Energy storage systems can also help data center owners to optimize energy usage by storing excess energy and using it during peak demand periods.
Ultimately, data center owners that can implement mature energy management technologies will be well-positioned to meet the demands of the industry and achieve their business goals. By reducing costs, improving efficiency, and meeting sustainability goals, data center owners can create a competitive advantage and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Through our sister company ABBE Technology Solutions Inc, we are able to craft a sustainable data-center architecture and implement mature energy management technologies to meet the demands of the industry and achieve their business goals. By reducing costs, improving efficiency, and meeting sustainability goals, we can enable data center owners to create a competitive advantage and contribute to a more sustainable future.
4. IT MSPs providing facility total experience initiatives, will be integral for sustainability
As sustainability becomes an increasingly important consideration in business operations, IT services providers will need to incorporate sustainable practices into their facility total experience initiatives. By doing so, we can not only meet the needs of clients but also contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
Sustainability can be incorporated into facility total experience initiatives in various ways. For example, incorporating energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems in Data Centers can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower the carbon footprint of the facility. This can also lead to cost savings and improved comfort for occupants.
In addition to energy-efficient technologies, IT services providers can also work with clients to develop sustainable facility management plans that take into account the full lifecycle of assets. This may include identifying opportunities to reuse or recycle assets, reducing waste, and contributing to a circular economy.
Bequik It Managed Services offers a sustainable, innovative and responsible solutions to our clients as part of their facility total experience initiatives.By taking a holistic approach to facility management that incorporates sustainability, we can help clients to achieve their business goals while contributing to a more sustainable future.
An example of this is when we incorporate energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems in our Data Center architecture which can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower the carbon footprint of the facility.
5. IT MSPs compliment to firm’s the Health & Safety success of the back-to-the-office strategies
IT Managed services can play a significant role in enhancing the health and safety protocols of back-to-the-office strategies. By leveraging technology, IT Managed service providers can help organizations implement and maintain health and safety measures to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for employees.
One way IT Managed services can help is by providing remote monitoring and management of IT infrastructure, which can limit the need for onsite technical support and reduce the risk of exposure to viruses or other health hazards. Additionally, by providing remote technical support, IT Managed service providers can help employees troubleshoot and resolve IT issues without leaving their desks, minimizing contact with others and reducing the risk of transmission.
Bequik’s IT Equipment Set-up, 360 degrees check & Physical hardware Sanitation services ensures the success of back-to-the-office strategies by prioritizing employee health and safety. We do this by implementing the service in our premises so that employees doesn’t have to report to their office and do it themselves. Particularly for our partners following hybrid work, we see to it that these non-negotiable hardware checks are done before we deliver it to their employees respective place ow work, ensuring we are able to complement to our clients back-to-office-strategies.
Final Thoughts
As MSPs, we are put in a position with major influenced across industries. It’s crucial that we are able to show our partners that our sustainable initiatives are not only in our handbooks but in our everyday live-actions, particularly in the services we provide. Conscious transformation in sustainability, whiles helping our customers/partners do the same, means investing in innovation and smarter more secure technology eco-system. MSPs should be in the same sustainable journey and make an effort to support their partner on theirs.
With businesses booming now a days, digital transformation is almost mandatory when expanding and making internal processes more efficient.
In organizations, schools, or colleges, many machines are used for different purposes. Often, the need for communication between them arises.
A computer server is used in almost every organization, school, etc. However, very few people know what exactly it is.
You might be probably interested in servers and would like to get started in creating your own. In this article we will tackle everything you need to know about servers.
Simply, what is a server?
A server is a device – specifically, a computer – that is responsible for giving out services, programs, and data to other clients through the use of the network.
Keep in mind that as long as a computer allocates its resources to another device, it is already called a server. A server is a computer with some special features. It is built with these special features because it is used to manage networks and the computers connected to the network. In a typical set-up, many machines are used for different purposes. Often, the need for communication between them arises. This is where the server comes into the picture.
All these machines are connected to each other through a server, which facilitates the communication between them, and people can work in sync with each other even though they are physically far apart.
The appropriate computer server definition would be – A computer or software program that caters to a certain need of the client. A file server stores files of the client. If it is a print server, multiple clients can use a single or multiple printers through it. Thus, a server serves a specific purpose. Amongst its various uses, an important one is managing a network of machines, which are called the clients of the server.
TYPES OF SERVERS
there are a variety of servers that you could choose from once you would like to start. Computer servers are classified depending upon various factors such as their purpose, where they are being installed, etc. The following list will give you some more information about servers.
1. File Server
As its name suggests, it stores the files of all the client machines. It may be used as a backup storage or for general purpose use. It usually has supportive hardware like external hard disks and other forms of external storage devices. It runs special software meant for servers like the Windows Server 2003.
2. Web Server
A web server is similar to a normal server that works with a number of clients. The difference is that here the network is the entire world wide web and the server takes requests from many clients at a time through HTTP. These servers have a monstrous configuration.
3. Database Server
A database server is an important component of a client server model. It is not a computer but it’s a program which has two parts, one is the server part installed on the server and the other a client part installed on the client computer. The program performs all the database related tasks like database management, analysis, etc.
4. Video Server
This server stores multimedia files so that the client computers in the network can access them simultaneously. It is used in many fields such as entertainment, education, etc. This server deals only with the tasks related to video files. Live news is broadcasted through such servers.
5. Home Computer Server
Simply put, a home computer server is a home computer used as a web server. A web server hosts hundreds of web sites but the home server will host only a single website or sometimes a couple of them depending upon its configuration.
This is only an introduction to the types of servers, and there are many more types and subtypes like proxy server, time server, access server, fax server, etc. There are further subtypes of these servers depending upon their exact use.
Importance of servers?
A server is the one responsible for sending and receiving data files across the globe, may it be for a large party or rather private ones. Without servers, accessing information and going to websites on the internet would basically be not possible.
Servers manage network resources. For example, a user may set up a server to control access to a network, send/receive e-mail, manage print jobs, or host a website. They are also proficient at performing intense calculations. Some servers are committed to a specific task, often referred to as dedicated.
Difference between a server and a network?
Most people would most likely confuse one thing with the other, but you must be one step ahead of them and differentiate the two if you would like to start with your own server.
A server, which you already know, is the one that transfers, sends, and/or receives data files from other client machines across the globe. What makes a network different from it, however, is that networks are more of a centralized storage wherein these certain data files are kept.
How do other computers connect to a server?
With a local network, the server connects to a router or switch that all other computers on the network use. Once connected to the network, other computers can access that server and its features. For example, with a web server, a user could connect to the server to view a website, search, and communicate with other users on the network.
An Internet server works the same way as a local network server, but on a much larger scale. The server is assigned an IP address by InterNIC, or by web host.
Usually, users connect to a server using its domain name, which is registered with a domain name registrar. When users connect to the domain name (such as “computerhope.com”), the name is automatically translated to the server’s IP address by a DNS resolver.
The domain name makes it easier for users to connect to the server, because the name is easier to remember than an IP address. Also, domain names enable the server operator to change the IP address of the server without disrupting the way that users access the server. The domain name can always remain the same, even if the IP address changes.
Why are servers always on?
Because they are commonly used to deliver services that are constantly required, most servers are never turned off. Consequently, when servers fail, they can cause the network users and company many problems. To alleviate these issues, servers are commonly set up to be fault tolerant.
Where are servers stored?
In a business or corporate environment, a server and other network equipment are often stored in a closet or glass house. These areas help isolate sensitive computers and equipment from people who should not access them.
Servers that are remote or not hosted on-site are located in a data center. With these types of servers, the hardware is managed by another company and configured remotely by you or your company.
Can my computer be a server?
Yes. Any computer, even a home desktop or laptop computer, can act as a server with the right software. For example, you could install an FTP server program on your computer to share files between other users on your network.
Although it is possible to have your home computer act as a server, keep the following ideas in mind.
• Your computer and the related server software must always be running to be accessible. • When your computer is used as a server, its resources (e.g., processing and bandwidth) is taken away from what you have available to do other things. • Connecting a computer to a network and the Internet can open up your computer to new types of attacks. • If the service you’re providing becomes popular, a typical computer may not have the necessary resources to handle all of the requests.
