Maintaining strong security policies remain extremely important in government, the military, healthcare, retail and other markets that NCS serves. Over the past six years, our desktop and laptop solutions have been recognized for their strong security and effortless portability. NCS devices powered by Teradici software help IT managers maintain security and save money. # The Challenge of Endpoint Security IT managers understand that work PCs used in in the office and remotely on travel or in the home are often vulnerable to security breaches. For many administrators, using zero clients is the best solution for security concerns.  NCS Zero Clients are managed by VMware Horizon software and use the ultra-secure Teradici PCoIP remote display protocol. NCS Zero Clients have no local OS. The operating system resides in the data center. Therefore, there is no persistent user data, no patches, updates or antivirus software needed. Security concerns are addressed within the data center. Of the various ways to virtualize at the endpoint, zero clients prove to be a highly effective solution. PCoIP is a high performance computer display protocol used in endpoint VDI. PCoIP from Teradici uses advanced compression to provide end users with rich content from the cloud or data center. PCoIP securely delivers applications or workspaces to the endpoint by compressing and encrypting pixels. More than 10 million VDI endpoints use PCoIP. To manage virtualized endpoints, NCS recommends the Teradici All Access Plan.

For example, the Durabook S14I Laptop pushes semi-rugged devices to a whole new level. It is built with Intel® 11th Generation CPUs and has a class-leading 4' drop spec/IP 53 rating. The S14I is engineered to combine military-grade durability, field-worker functionality,  high performance, and long battery life for non-stop use, making it suitable for use in locations where rain or dust may be a regular occurrence. The S14I features a significant CPU upgrade with Intel® Tiger Lake 11th generation platform, using Intel’s 10nm processor technology. This device comes with integrated Intel® Iris Xe graphics, and for professionals who use intensive graphic computing, it can be upgraded to an optional standalone NVIDIA GeForce® GTX1050. With the ultra-high-speed data transmission capability of Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 with max. speed of 2.4Gbps and Bluetooth® V5.2, all information is instantly synced and fed back to the data control center. **Durability and Security** The S14I is built with a robust mechanical design and rigorously tested components. It meets the standards of MIL-STD-810H; withstands up to a 4-foot drop; and boasts an IP53 rating. This tough yet elegant rugged laptop breaches the boundary between semi-rugged and fully-rugged devices. It now includes Windows Hello encrypted biometrics, a more secure, user-friendly and faster way of accessing the Window® 10 OS. The S14I semi-rugged platform is finding significant success in commercial markets, such as power/utilities, and in the military sector, including the U.S. Army and Air Force.
