Proact therefore always has access to the latest technologies. We are thereby enhancing the IT infrastructure that can support our organisation in providing education for our students.“

“The demand for converged data centre infrastructure solutions is also increasing in the public segment. Here also, they are looking for more efficiency and effectiveness in the data centre. The selected EMC VSPEX solution ensures that the Montessori Scholengemeenschap Amsterdam Foundation will have a scalable and flexible platform available that is suitable for the various applications and many thousands of users. We are looking forward to a successful collaboration,” said Lucas den Os, MD, Proact Netherlands.

The MSA is a group of schools for secondary Montessori education in Amsterdam, with a long tradition in the maintenance and development of secondary Montessori education.

At the moment, the school community consists of four schools that are unique in their educational approach, based on a common Montessori vision. Each school operates autonomously based on its own tradition and identity. Through its own educational services, each school stands out as a school where both students and teachers feel at home.
