NCS Cirrus Solutions Serve Government and Commercial Markets

NCS Technologies features Cirrus Notebook and Desktop endpoint solutions that are secure, cost effective and easy to use and administer. Maintaining strong security strategies remain extremely important in government and commercial markets.

NCS desktop and laptop solutions are depended on for their strong security and portability. These products powered by HP Teradici software help IT managers maintain security and save money.

The Focus on Endpoint Security

IT managers understand that work PCs used in in the office and remotely can be 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 HP 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 HP 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 15 million VDI endpoints use PCoIP.

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