-Virtualization leader expands into education market with economical desktop and server virtualization solutions-

SALT LAKE CITY,  –With many businesses increasing workloads and making cut-backs just to break even,I-O Corporationis doing something many companies are finding hard in this economy – they’re growing.

Less than a year ago, I-O expanded its offerings to include economically priced virtualization solutions for the education market. Since then, the company has shown incremental monthly sales with solutions being deployed in close to a dozen states.

“Even though we have thousands of customers across many vertical markets, we created a package solution specifically for education labs and classrooms,” said Matt Brady, President of I-O Corporation. “Our message has been fairly simple – if you don’t think you can afford top-of-the-line thin client and IBM server solutions – think again.”

I-O Corporation provides economically priced technology that comes at a fraction of the long term cost of traditional PC labs and network servers. I-Os ProEdge thin clients consume less electricity, require little maintenance, and stay in service longer than a standard desktop unit. When combined with IBM’s high efficiency servers, I-O offers a total solution that gives administrators even more IT management and energy savings. I-O also offers the assistance to help the district or school IT staff configure the server infrastructure properly based on their application and computing needs.

“We began using I-O’s technology because we were interested in the potential energy and cost savings offered,” said Larry Miner, Information Technology Specialist at St. Peter Public Schools in Minnesota. “We are currently using I-O’s technology in one of our labs and based on what we’ve seen we hope to be able to expand and replace all 700 of our existing units in the future with I-O’s technology.”

I-O offers an industry best five year warranty on all its products and provides unmatched customer service and support from point of contact on. For over 32-years, I-O has provided technical solutions across many industries.
