Monitor, projector and consumer technology manufacturer ViewSonic has just announced the MultiClient, a local cloud computing solution designed for classrooms. A single server ($1,299) supports up to 14 user stations--each with a monitor, keyboard and mouse--via an adapter ($175) for each, saving hardware and energy costs. The system comes with Microsoft's Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 installed, which provides classroom management tools and allows teachers to control, share and monitor all student screens from their station.
