Chromebooks For Business and Education

What are

Chromebooks?

Fast, intuitive, and easy-to-manage laptop computers designed to keep data and users safe while delivering all the power of the web.

A Video Introduction: Chromebooks for Business and Education.

Page 37: Why You Should Work With a Cloud Service Provider

Chromebook

Features

Speed Chromebooks boot in 8 seconds and resume instantly after a power down. They load web pages and applications with lightning-fast speeds, so there's no delay in getting to the stuff you need — when you need it. Mobility As a Chromebook boots up, it connects quickly to your preferred WiFi or 3G network (optional). A battery that lasts all day makes it easy to keep working around the office or on the go. Syncability With Chromebooks, email, documents, and data are stored safely in the cloud and accessible anywhere. So, no worries if you left your computer back at the office: Just log into another Chromebook and get right back to work from home. Security Chromebooks employ the principle of "defense in depth" to provide multiple layers of protection. And your files are stored safely on the web, so a lost computer no longer means lost data.

Benefits

Track Assets and Users IT managers can use a centralized Management Console to keep track of your Chromebooks and assign them to users. Integrated shipping information even lets you know when your Chromebooks will arrive. Automated Updates Chromebooks stay up-to-date with all the latest fixes so that IT managers can spend less time maintaining hardware. Because all software is hosted in the cloud and accessed via web browser, Google is able to push system updates to the Chrome OS in the background while users continue their work uninterrupted. Cost Savings Without the need for time-intensive IT management tasks, Google estimates the total cost of ownership of a Chromebook to be up to 70% less than owning and maintaining a traditional personal computer.
