The migration of the education sector to a hybrid teaching model, providing simultaneous learning and interactions for on-site and remote students, has mobilized technology providers around the development of portfolios dedicated to the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) concept. In an important move that has just been announced, the education vertical of Seal Sistemas and NVIDIA have launched a new strategic partnership.
The largest integrator of mobility solutions in Brazil and a national leader in mobile computing and automatic data capture, Seal Sistemas now relies on the support of NVIDIA GPU virtualization solutions, in order to strengthen its purpose of supporting the digital transformation of healthcare institutions. Brazilian teaching. The objective is to transform the technological infrastructure of educational institutions, focusing on high performance and security, so that students have a faithful experience regardless of where they are and also the device used – such as desktop, notebook or tablet.
Recognized for its portfolio of solutions focused on high processing power and professional visualization, as well as for its high capacity for virtualization of robust video technologies, NVIDIA further enriches Seal Sistemas' education vertical portfolio with technologies capable of taking to home the classroom experience. The partnership is part of a complete package of solutions that allow students to attend classes with quality inside or outside the school and academic environment, from anywhere in the world, always in a safe way - as students remain connected to the cloud infrastructure of educational institution.
The joint action of Seal Sistemas and NVIDIA seeks to consolidate the hybrid model and virtual environments with complete solutions that provide the best experience for students, teachers and educational managers. Included in this portfolio will be NVIDIA GPU virtualization solutions for:
· management and monitoring, with GPU-accelerated virtual machines (VMs) to deliver continuous uptime and proactive management without harming users or losing data;
· Business continuity and workload balancing, with a unified, virtual GPU-accelerated infrastructure to run mixed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and compute workloads;
· Resource sharing and optimized usage, by distributing GPU resources to run the most demanding workloads;
· Bare metal system performance (physical server dedicated to a single tenant), aiming to achieve the same performance as a non-virtualized environment through flexible scheduling options.
Virtualization of teaching
“With the pandemic and social distancing, the education sector has been going through a period of much learning and tasting of technologies, which had the initial objective of making online classes viable, although many of these solutions are not specifically aimed at schools and universities” , says Emerson Felipe, Commercial Director of Seal Sistemas' education vertical.
According to the executive, the market already has VLE solutions that take into account all the challenges of a learning environment – from stable connection, audio quality and noise elimination to continuous and simultaneous interaction between remotely connected students. , colleagues who participate in person and teachers.
“NVIDIA is a key partner that helps us consolidate advanced, affordable, industry-dedicated tools. Together, we seek to support educational institutions to implement a new hybrid model, which empowers teachers, students and educational managers with a high-performance virtual environment. All through a cloud-based infrastructure that gives students an experience as if they were all in the same room,” says Emerson.
“It is gratifying for NVIDIA to be able to contribute to the training of young people increasingly adapted to the hybrid model, a trend that I believe will continue in the coming years. Our purpose will always be to bring computing power to our partners and, consequently, to their customers”, celebrates Marcio Aguiar, director of NVIDIA's Enterprise division for Latin America.
Through its new education vertical, Seal Sistemas has brought together strategic and internationally recognized partners to support the Brazilian education market not only from a commercial but also an institutional point of view, supporting the sector's migration to a new hybrid reality. in teaching. The partnership with NVIDIA is part of building a 100% educational portfolio dedicated to the VLE concept, with differentiated and affordable solutions to help Brazilian schools and universities overcome post-pandemic challenges.
“Faced with the consolidation of a new hybrid education model, the partnership with NVIDIA certifies the quality of our portfolio of solutions and services built to support the advances in the Brazilian education market. Having the support and technological expertise of a company recognized worldwide for its quality and innovation strengthens our position as an integrator of complete solutions, including through our education vertical”, says Wagner Bernardes, CEO of Seal Sistemas.
