Situated in the city of Patiala in Punjab, Thapar University is one of northern India's premier institutes of engineering and technology.

With a heavy reliance on the use of technology in their teaching, the University has turned to NetSupport for help with the day-to-day management of their lab computers.

NetSupport School provides best of breed PC monitoring combined with real-time presentation tools, giving lecturers the functionality they need to ensure a focused learning environment.

To ensure the availability of key systems across campus, NetSupport School is unique in providing Network Managers and IT Technician's with a dedicated 'tech console'.

The Technician Console is designed to make the management of the IT infrastructure easier. With that in mind, you can perform an instant hardware or software inventory, see in real-time (and interact with) applications, website activity, services and processes running on each PC. You can also take full remote control of any PC that requires attention.

Using the file distribution feature, you can quickly and silently distribute files or folders from your PC to any number of selected computers in a single action, resulting in a simple to use, yet effective tool for updating computers across the school.

From the Console, all computers can be remotely powered on or off at the end of the day and NetSupport School will even indicate which computers have a memory stick left in them, so they can be collected and valuable coursework is not lost.
