Remote computer backup for education

CentraStage has been designed from the ground up for Education IT service providers and secondary school network managers. It is simple to deploy and use, flexible, and priced to allow management of all PCs and servers across multiple sites and networks.

So whether you are a service provider or LA supporting thousands of devices across hundreds of Primary schools, or a hard-pressed Secondary school network manager, CentraStage will transform how you manage your IT environment.

The CentraStage team have been involved in the Education sector for a number of years and it remains critical to the ongoing development of the company and the technology. Through our Education distributors, Redstor and Synetrix (London), we work closely with dozens of IT service providers and Local Authorities in the UK, helping the school ICT support teams manage tens of thousands of devices across thousands of school sites.
