NCS Zero Client Solutions for Work from Home

Desktop Virtualization Provides Secure WFH

NCS Technologies delivers zero client VDI solutions for desktops and mobility that are secure, cost effective and easy to use and administer. Maintaining strong security policies are even more important as a major portion of the workforce continues to Work From Home (WFH).

This trend will continue at least into the fall as employers balance the ongoing pandemic with the rollout of vaccines and the quest for herd immunity. It is also considered a given by many experts that WFH will evolve into a permanent full-time option or partial option for many in the workforce going forward.

NCS is a leading supplier of virtual desktop technologies to the government, military and commercial markets such as healthcare, finance and retail. In the last 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 WFH IT Security and How Zero Client PCoIP Helps

IT managers understand that work PCs used in the home are vulnerable to security breaches. It's common that work computers may be used by family members. In addition, a worker may not follow corporate security policies as diligently when out of the office. 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 the most 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.  NCS partners with Teradici for desktop virtualization.

To manage virtualized endpoints, NCS recommends the Teradici All Access Plan.
