NCS Leads in Desktop Virtualization Solutions

Deepest Portfolio Meets Customer Challenges

NCS is contacted daily by IT administrators looking to implement manageable and cost-effective virtualization at the desktop. There are many ways to implement this, including installing new thin or zero client solutions.

Thin clients retain some kind of OS, such as Windows Embedded™ or a customized Linus OS. Administrators need to keep in mind that even a small OS provides an attack surface, and this can add some complexity to IT adminstration.

IT administrators must also remain mindful of which remote display protocol to use. There are many choices, with PCoIP and Blast being very popular. For VMware environments NCS customers tell us they are focused on strong security and a high-quality desktop experience. These customers often choose zero clients using the PCoIP protocol.

PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology delivers a secure, high-definition and highly responsive computing experience. PCoIP compresses, encrypts and transmits only pixels to a broad range of software clients, mobile clients and stateless PCoIP Zero Clients, providing a highly secure enterprise environment. PCoIP was designed for interactive applications. It is a multi-codec solution that delivers the most accurate PC experience regardless of network conditions.

From a user’s perspective, there is no difference between working with a local computer loaded with software and an endpoint receiving a streamed pixel representation from a data center locally or in the cloud.

NCS is the world leader in productizing PCoIP zero client technology. NCS zero clients improve manageability, drive down cost of ownership and improve security. We have many satisfied customers all over the world.VMUG Indy.jpg
