NetManager 2 upgrade

For schools with an existing network computer installation using an Xemplar NCManager, we offer server upgrades which increase the performance and expandability of your network.

The upgrade is very cost-effective as you do not need to purchase any more licences. Also, the old server will be restored to a J233 specification StrongARM RISCOS 3.7 RiscPC with network card.

The table below shows a comparision between the Precedence NetManager and the Xemplar NCManager.
