The View From NCS Technologies

Dip Your Toe In, Or Go All Out With VDI From NCS

Posted by John Callahan on Jun 30, 2015 3:03:00 PM

Our customers approach VDI implementations many different ways. Some IT administrators look at the end-to-end approach, while others have built out a heavily virtualized data center but are only dipping their toes in the water with thin or zero client endpoints.

VDI benefits are understood: improving the reliability and scalability of their investments in storage and compute resources, better network performance, reduced complexity and administrative costs and improved security at the end points (desktop and mobile). But what is your implementation strategy?shiny_desk_cirrus_resized

No matter how you approach it, top tier engineering and computer manufacturing companies like NCS will be able to assist you at any point in the implementation cycle. And regardless of your preferred software partner, companies like NCS will have solutions that work with VMware, Microsoft and Citrix. 

Our goal is to assure IT managers that an implementation at any level will be both easy and beneficial.

Storage, Compute and Network + Software + Endpoints + Services

It doesn't matter if your approach is a turnkey installation or modular upgrades, NCS will help you with the latest high performance storage, compute & network elements, Tier 1 software and endpoints and services to fit any need.

The Necessary Building Blocks

When considering hardware, you may wish to consolidate by considering a hyper-converged appliance in the data center. NCS offers an appliance platform with high performance storage, networking and graphics virtualization. The NexServ XRG Series in both a 1U rackmount and 2U rackmount server configurations delivers "best in class" performance. If a customer chooses to go modular, compute and storage resources will reside in different NCS-brand appliances.

Zero Client Endpoints

You may be happy with your VDI back end and be focused on the right endpoint solution. NCS can help you there, too. We are well known worldwide for our innovation in endpoint technologies. For instance, super secure zero clients enable the "anyone, anywhere" scenario because there is no persistent user data on the device. NCS offers the industry's most innovative and secure zero client portfolio, including desktops that have WiFi capability and the revolutionary Cirrus LT mobile zero client laptop.

Don't Forget Services

NCS provides highly trained professionals certified to deploy, maintain and support your VDI deployment. Our hardware engineers specialize in configuring and supporting the server platforms that are the backbone of each VDI deployment. Our acclaimed services include requirement analysis, design consultation, solution implementation, installation and technical support.
