Userful Multiplier takes 1 ordinary PC and turns it into 10. Just install the Linux-based software, add monitors, keyboards and mice - and you can support up to 10 independent users at the same time on a single computer. 

How Userful Multiplier works

Modern desktop computers sit idle while we check our e-mail, surf the web, or type a document. Userful Multiplier takes advantage of this unused computing power to create a low-cost, high performance, and environmentally efficient alternative to traditional desktop computing.  Up to 10 independant stations all share the resources of a single computer at the same time. Since computer usage consists of short bursts of CPU activity, each user has access to the full power of the multi-core processor. When more than one user needs the processor at exactly the same time, the computer splits its resources to perform all tasks equally quickly.

How to turn 1 computer into 10 with Userful Multiplier™

Step 1: Expand the PC

By adding extra standard video cards and USB cards (optional) we expand the number of stations that can connect to one PC. You can order hardware from us ready to go, or you may be able to convert some of your existing PCs by ordering components or a starter kit.

Step 2: Connect input/output devices

Arrange your monitors and keyboards then plug all video & USB cables into the back of the computer. You can add a USB-powered hub to each station to give your users access to USB devices.

 

Step 3: Install software

Install Userful Multiplier (it's built into Userful Desktop™, too).

Step 4: One-press configuration

Link keyboards and mice to monitors with a simple key-press.
