The View From NCS Technologies

Deploying VDI to the Field

Posted by Katie Callahan on Nov 28, 2016 11:21:17 AM

The field is often the office for war fighters and first responders and other service providers in government and industry. Workers need computer and information technology even when the office is outside and often in harsh environments. The challenge is to cost-effectively and effortlessly deploy the IT infrastructure - even when operating a great distance from the traditional data center. This can be especially vexing when using virtualization technologies.

NCS Technologies has created a portfolio of solutions that makes possible the rapid deployment of this infrastructure - without the weight and footprint of traditional solutions. NCS solutions are intelligently integrated into rugged transit cases. These cases are capable of supporting large numbers of clients in the field while delivering superior manageability and cost effectiveness. This approach also simplifies the IT aspects of the reset process that must occur upon returning from deployments.close-case-sm.png

Our three solutions are: 

Deployable Server/Client Workgroup

A basic configuration includes 1 high quality magnesium alloy Getac X500 Ultra-Rugged Server platform. In addition, this configuration includes 7 powerful Getac S400 semi-rugged laptops, developed specifically for military-type applications.

Deployable VDI Workgroup

This option provides for centralized control over all client images with reduced downtime and IT support. This solution gives the flexibility to easily and quickly change client images to support multiple applications and specific use case scenarios. The zero client notebooks in this solution contain no data making them far more secure than traditional rich clients. A basic configuration includes 1 high quality magnesium alloy Getac X500 Ultra-Rugged Server platform and 7 Cirrus LT family zero client notebooks.

Deployable VDI Enterprise Workgroup

The Deployable Enterprise VDI Workgroup allows for the easy and rapid deployment to temporary facilities where a larger workforce needs to be supported with network services and applications.  This makes it easier for organizations to reuse the initial investment repeatedly without leaving equipment behind or undergoing a much more labor intensive process to recover deployed assets. This fully-built configuration for 100 users includes a rugged, rackmount case on casters, and a complete turnkey, hyper-converged VDI solution that is scalable, flexible and cost effective.
