Yes we can just setup a new server it was an opportunity to look at other options. I was hoping that Sims would have a web based version we could look at? We already have hosted Sims using RDS in the school. I think we will just build a new server in the school until Sims have developed a proper web based version.

Morning, Our SIMS server is installed using Windows 2008R2 server and needs updating or replacing with a hosted version of SIMS. We can arrange a demo of the hosted SIMS but are concerned about the performance. Is anybody using hosted SIMS or is planning on moving to hosted SIMS or waiting for the full new web based SIMS? Thanks Darren

we use a barracuda to VPN then publish sims via the terminal server.

Morning all, Has anyone installed and used Autodesk Rivet 2018 successfully. We have installed the package and deployed without any problems. When we try and run Autodesk Rivet 2018 it hangs on the loading page. To make matters worse this is not always the case sometimes it will load OK. We have checked the spec of the workstations CPU, graphics and memory which are all well within spec. After a google search there are a lot of people having the same problems i was just wondering if anyone is using Autodesk Rivet 2108 successfully. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Morning. We are looking at purchasing some form of mobile technology iPad’s or android devices for pupils to use. There will be about 30 and shared by pupils. We have wireless Meraki access points which is only available to staff at the moment and a Smoothwall in place to control the internet. There are several options we can look at, but I am wondering what all you are using to control these mobile devices with pupils. Any advice welcome Thanks Darren
