butic The New School

Training in the field of new technologies is essential to progress in today's digital world, but attending to online remote education (especially when focused on digital design, engineering, animation, etc.) require expensive hardware and software applications and the students and instructors need to buy highly priced hardware and software. Applied on the education sector for the first time, butic offers a high impact global solution that eliminates hardware and software barriers to access high quality technical education. butic's model is enabled by an agreement with butic's partner "Summus Render" and powered by "IBM Global Services" and "VM Ware", giving students a cheap professional workstation in the cloud. The new "Simple Education" virtualized platform, relying on the "IBM Watson & Cloud Platform", allows butic to be the only education proposal world-wide that includes a cheap professional cloud environment that avoids students the need to buy expensive (but anyway limited) hardware.
