HIMSS16 Begins Monday, Feb. 29

The annual HIMSS conference, focusing on healthcare IT, convenes on Monday. More than 40,000 attendees will be able to attend keynotes from celebrity speakers, participate in seminars and evaluate solutions from hundreds of IT vendors. NCS Technologies will be showcasing our innovative endpoint virtualization (VDI) solutions at Booth #11118.

New Call-to-action

In blogs over the past week I have focused on the proven security benefits of zero client endpoints. Zero clients are differentiated from thin clients in several important ways, including the use of the PCoIP network communications protocol, which compresses, encrypts and encodes the entire computing experience at the data center. PCoIP, powered by the Teradici processor, helps deliver a super secure user experience. That is very important in healthcare, where protecting patient records and personal information is mandated by federal laws.

Zero Clients: Low Costs of Ownership

But in telling the security story, it's critical not to lose sight of the other important benefits of endpoint virtualization made possible by Teradici's PCoIP, VMware software and NCS endpoints.

In addition to superior security, zero clients make IT administration much easier and less complex compared to working with thin client PC alternatives. This translates into lower cost of ownership.

Research by Teradici shows that IT administrators love the ease of deployment and configuration when installing zero client endpoints. There is no resident operating system to update, support and no worry about OS compatibility. IT folks appreciate that installing and operating zero clients helps them save time. They like that zero clients are more reliable and low power zero clients costs less to operate. In summary: zero clients are just plain easier to manage and operate. 

7 Easy Reasons to Choose Zero Clients

  •          NSA Suite B security
  •          No OS
  •          No local storage
  •          No persistent user data
  •          No antivirus software needed
  •          Lower Cost of Operation
  •          Easier to Manage
