Cloud Connections Availabe Here

The Google is getting into the hardware business. Starting June 15, Google Chromebooks will be available for lease by educational institutions and small businesses. Business users will pay $28 a month for each Chromebook and educational institutions will pay $20 a month per unit.

According to Mashable, IT managers can use virtualization platforms like Citrix to offer access to non-web apps, essentially making the Chromebook a thin client on steroids.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
