Multipoint Server

The Computer Laboratory in Uganda

Microsoft’s Windows MultiPoint Server Systems redefine what’s possible in modern computer laboratories, whether you’re equipping a school, youth center, or training facility. One Server, Many Stations.

Why Choose MultiPoint Server for Your Lab?
One Server, Many Stations
Run multiple independent user sessions from a single host computer, cut hardware costs without compromising performance.
Plug-and-Play Scalability
Easily add new stations as your lab grows. No need for complex networking or expensive upgrades.
Centralized Management
Monitor, manage, and maintain all user sessions from one dashboard. IT administrators love the control and simplicity.
Energy-Efficient & Budget-Friendly
Reduce power consumption and hardware expenses, ideal for organizations focused on sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
Windows MultiPoint Server Systems help institutions to cut costs and overcome common tech barriers. By running multiple user stations from one host computer, labs save up to 20–30% on electricity, internet bandwidth, and hardware maintenance. This setup is ideal for areas with unstable power or limited connectivity, offering a reliable, low-cost solution for digital learning and community access.

Thanks to Computer Works Uganda and Global Technology Access Foundation’s assistance, more than 30 schools have been equipped with such energy sources. But the power of these units does not exceed 3 kW.
Creating a 20-seat computer class with limited power is tough especially when each PC draws 200 watts (160W for the system unit, 40W for the monitor). With only 3kW available, most schools can barely support 15 stations. The solution? Windows MultiPoint Server Systems. By sharing one host computer across multiple users, you cut power use, reduce hardware costs, and unlock full lab capacity without blowing your energy budget.
But there are other consumers in the school – for example, a pump for supplying water to the toilet, lighting, communications, a printer after all! It seems that the situation is hopeless.
And here the Windows Multipoint Server setup comes to the rescue, which, on the basis of one system unit, allows you to create a multi-user system for up to 15 workplaces. A simple calculation showed us that just under 1.5 kW is needed to create 30 workplaces.
two system blocks 160W x 2=320W
plus two more video cards in each system unit 40W x 4 = 160W
24 monitors 40W x 24=860W
Total 1340 watts (approx.)

The only available solution at the moment is autonomous solar generation. Moreover, both in combination with fuel cells, and using conventional batteries as storage devices.

How is this possible?

The Windows Multipoint Server System allocates computer resources according to the needs of users connected to it. Since, the power of modern computers in most cases is excessive for solving the problems of one user, we can connect additional monitors, keyboards and mouses and create a multi-user system based on one computer using the WMS. At the same time, each user can work as if they had their own personal computer. They will have their own desktop, own settings and own set of devices they needs.
This example of computerization of schools in Uganda shows how a non-standard approach helps to solve seemingly unsolvable problems.
If you need to carry out computerization in places where there are problems with electricity or it is very expensive – take a closer look at the Windows Multipoint Server System from Computer Works Uganda and you can, not only save on equipment cost, but also reduce electricity consumption and bills!
