The Christmas holidays encompass some of the busiest travel periods of the year - probably second only to Thanksgiving in the U.S. As many people are "on the go" this week to be home for the holidays, it is appropriate to briefly consider an NCS IT solution which may be thought of as "networking on the go".
NCS has been in business for 20 years and many of our best, most regular customers during this period are those associated with the military, the intelligence community, the diplomatic service, first responders and other service providers in government and industry. These vital workers need computer and information technology even when the "office" is away from traditional office locations and often in harsh environments. The challenge is to cost-effectively and effortlessly deploy IT infrastructure - even when operating a great distance from a 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 - for "on the go" situations. 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.
Our three solutions are:
Deployable Server/Client WorkgroupA 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.
