With Mac OS X, users can get more done on their own, giving you more time to focus on moving your institution forward. And with the management tools built into Mac OS X Server, routine tasks go faster and more smoothly — you can even automate many of them.
Add Apple Remote Desktop to the picture, and you can make it all happen without setting foot outside your office.
Your to-do list gets shorter thanks to Mac OS X.
The same things that let the Mac integrate so easily with your environment also make users remarkably self-sufficient. Mac OS X can automatically connect users to your network and instantly discovers printers and other devices and services that use Bonjour technology. And the Mac has all the drivers that users are likely to need, preinstalled.
Then there’s the fact that Mac OS X has an incredibly stable UNIX base. That means users don’t have to deal with crashes and will likely never experience downtime due to viruses or malware.
But the single biggest time-saver for you is Mac OS X itself. It’s so simple to use that students and faculty can accomplish far more without constantly calling on you for help.
Mac OS X Server. Take some of the work out of work. Enable portable user accounts.
With Mac OS X Server you can create portable accounts for your users. Each MacBook user can have both a local home folder and a network home folder that automatically sync whenever the computer connects to the network. If you’re moving hundreds or thousands of students into a 1 to 1 learning program, portable user accounts are critical for success.

Apple Remote Desktop. Do more. Move less. Streamline setups and installations.
Apple Remote Desktop lets you set up or update any or all of your Mac computers simultaneously, without getting up from your chair. Just choose a disk image (easily created with System Image Utility) as the startup disk and restart systems remotely.
Or you can initiate a software installation and let Apple Remote Desktop handle the rest, automatically restarting systems whenever needed. You’ll spend less time updating an entire lab than you used to spend on a single client.
