NComputing Deepens Integration with Vmware


Announces Customer Beta Program for Enhanced VMware View Client Support

REDWOOD CITY, California, February 7, 2011 -- NComputing, a global leader in desktop virtualization, today announced the launch of a beta program for customers deploying its flagship virtual desktop solution, NComputing L300, in VMware environments. Participants in the beta program will experience greater integration and connectivity between NComputing virtual desktops and servers hosted in VMware vSphere and View environments. Additionally, by providing client access to NComputing vSpace virtualization hosts through the View Connection Server, it will enhance and simplify virtual desktop management in highly complex virtualized environments. NComputing's VMware View client support will be demonstrated in Booth #409 at VMware Partner Exchange, Orlando, FL, February 8 - 11; and will be available in beta at the end of February.

Said Bill Platt, NComputing SVP Engineering, "By integrating VMware View client APIs with vSpace virtualization client software, NComputing allows customers to extend and more easily manage complex VMware Sphere and View deployments while still reaping all the on-going ROI benefits of our virtual desktop devices such as 75% reduction in maintenance and support, and up to 90% lower energy costs."

Said NComputing customer, Rick Marx, Information Services Manager, Travis Unified School District, "This expanded product integration gives us improved and centralized management of our current NComputing vSpace desktop virtualization solution running on the VMware vSphere platform. As well as extending the benefits of our existing installation, any expansion of the deployment will be a simple and easy to manage initiative."

The NComputing L300 is based on the NComputing Numo(TM) SoC (System on a Chip). When combined with NComputing vSpace virtualization software it delivers Windows and Linux virtual desktops and integrates into Citrix and VMware VDI installations. The L300 Virtual Desktop costs less than any other thin or zero client option in the market and is a quarter of the cost of a desktop PC. The L300 Virtual Desktop provides rich, full screen, full motion multimedia playback up to 1920x1080 resolution, transparent USB redirection, and simple but powerful deployment and management tools. Set up is simple, seamless and scalable from the deployment of 4 workstations in a remote branch office to several thousand virtual desktops in a corporate setup.
