The View From NCS Technologies

New Mobile End Points Deliver Superior VDI

Posted by John Callahan on Mar 30, 2016 3:25:49 PM

Periodically we like to briefly spotlight NCS virtualization products to show how they improve IT performance and user satisfaction in any organization. This week we highlight the Cirrus LT Plus, the newest PCoIP notebook in our growing VDI portfolio. Recent blogs have discussed how organizations (like an intelligence agency, for instance) may insist on use of only specifically-approved end point devices. While health care institutions and many enterprises may be perfectly comfortable with implementing VDI in a relaxed BYOD environment. Our point is that Cirrus LT Plus delivers in all scenarios.

Cirrus LT Plus Wow Factors

This new notebook is expected to be generally available in Q2. Cirrus LT Plus has a 15.6-inch HD display, full keyboard with numeric keypad and supports copper, fiber and fiber connectivity.

The options will wow anyone considering end point virtualization. These options include WiFi, 4G broadband, integrated fingerprint reader, smart card reader, proxity card access and a docking station.

Evaluation users particularly are raving about the smartly-designed two battery system that provides more than eight hours of continuous use!

Security Scenario

Organizations with high security requirements love ultra-secure PCoIP zero client virtualization. It is the gold standard. CIrrus LT Plus PCoIP zero client has:

  • NSA Suite B security
  • AES 256 Encryption
  • No Hard Drive
  • No OS
  • No Local Storage
  • No Persistent User Data
  • No Need for Antivirus Protection

Kiosk and BYOD Scenario

Some organization allow end users to work on almost any device - included personal smart phones and tablets. In other work situations, personal devices are sometimes used. In still other work scenarios (healthcare, etc.), work devices may be routinely shared. In these cases IT administrators are striving for maximum managability and simplicity, lower costs and user productivity/convenience. In these use cases we find Cirrus LT Plus being evaluated for its performance, mobility, utility (proximity card access, battery life, big display, etc.) and attractive security capabilities.

Cirrus LT Plus Does It All

Whatever the IT requirements - administrative or end user - Cirrus LT Plus delivers. The bottom line is that Cirrus LT Plus delivers improved managability, reduced complexity, superior ease of use, gold-standard security and low cost of ownership.
