Case Study: Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Ltd. achieves 50–70% lower computing costs and 90% energy savings across 1,000+ learning centers with NComputing virtual desktops

Leading Indian Education System Outfits over 1,000 Learning Centers with Low-Cost NComputing Virtual Desktops

Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Limited (MKCL) operates a network of over 1,000 learning centers across Maharashtra to teach adult IT and computing skills. The centers struggled with costly standalone PCs that required frequent replacement, consumed large amounts of power (problematic during frequent electricity shortages), and took up limited counter space—creating a need for a low-cost, compact, energy-efficient solution.

MKCL deployed NComputing X-series virtual desktops—small thin clients and vSpace software that let up to 11 users share a single standard PC. In one year more than 1,000 centers were upgraded, cutting computing equipment and maintenance costs by 50–70% and reducing electricity usage by about 90%, enabling rapid, eco-friendly expansion with plans to add thousands more centers.
