How to turn 1 computer into 10 with Userful

Computers are often sitting idle while their users read email, browse the web, or type. The processor is most often used only in short bursts—when users launch a new program, send a print job or render a web page.

Userful has made it easy to harness the computer’s unused power. Simply attach extra video cards and USB hubs and you can add extra users to that computer to make better use of the idle computing power.

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 even be able to convert some of your existing PCs by ordering 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 if you want your users to have access to USB devices.

Step 3: Install software

Install Userful Desktop (it's pre-installed on all hardware from Userful).

Step 4: One-press configuration

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