The View From NCS Technologies

Software and Hardware Endpoints for Virtualization

NCS works closely with Teradici, the creator of PCoIP desktop virtualization technology. PCoIP securely delivers applications or workspaces from the cloud or datacenter to the endpoint. This technology compresses, encrypts and rapidly transports pixels to end-user devices. More than 10 million endpoints use PCoIP.

NCS offers a portfolio of seven different highly innovative PCoIP-enabled desktops and laptops that are used in healthcare, civilian government, military, retail and industry.

The PCoIP protocol transfers only image information in the form of pixels, so no business information ever leaves the cloud or data center. PCoIP technology is designed to deliver a high performance user experience for workers using even the most graphics-intensive applications.

For efficiency and value in managing its virtualized endpoints, NCS recommends its customers use the Teradici All Access Plan.

NCS Offers Choices With SecureView & Zero Client Portfolio

For government employees, processes to thwart security threats include strategies to protect databases and servers in data centers, locking down endpoints (like laptops and notebooks), and educating employees about everyday social engineering threats (clicking on destructive malware on a website or answering a malicious email).

Looking at every day network communications, IT administrators must accommodate potential access to various levels of secure networks, depending on the message and the need. This is known as multi-level computing.

Servers, Rugged Servers, Appliance & Services

NCS Technologies provides servers, rugged servers, appliances and engineering services solutions to businesses and government agencies. For more than 20 years NCS has exceeded customer expectations in commercial markets, banking and finance, the software industry, all levels of government and the military.

Busy Closing Day at NCS Booth #1047

The VMworld 2018 Conference enters the final day with keynotes and many breakout sessions focusing on improving security and reducing administrative complexity. At the booth, NCS is promoting its leading portfolio of desktop virtualization solutions.

NCS is the world leader in PCoIP zero client technology products.  NCS zero clients are widely installed in many government and commercial settings. Our customers are sold on demonstrated manageability improvements, lower cost of ownership and improved security.

See You at NCS Booth #1047

The VMworld 2018 Conference enters Day Two with one of its largest virtualization-focused events to date. More than 21,000 visitors were in attendance yesterday, coming from 85 countries. Held again this year at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas, the event has keynotes and many breakout sessions focusing on improving security and reducing administrative complexity.

Sunday night, Monday and today, NCS Booth #1047 has seen a steady stream of visitors eager to learn more about how our leading desktop virtualization solution addresses these key issues. At the booth, NCS is also promoting rugged server and storage solutions that fit into a larger VDI implementation.

NCS is the world leader in productizing PCoIP zero client technology. On the booth are Matt Cooke, Mike Turicchi and John Callahan, who are demonstrating laptop zero clients along with a variety of desktop implementations. NCS zero clients are widely installed in many government and commercial settings. Our customers are sold on our solutions and our ability to improve manageability, drive down cost of ownership and improving security.

NCS & Partner Solutions at Booth 226

NCS is exhibiting at the Air Force Information Technology & Cyberpower Conference, Montgomery, AL, through Wednesday. This is a premier cyber security and IT event for the Air Force. NCS is featuring its virtualization solutions, as well as key products from partners Lenovo and Getac. The personal computing and rugged hardware solutions are known to the Air Force community through the CCS2 contract for Air Force equipment.

NCS is featuring the Lenovo L480 (QEB 2018B Office Notebook and Agency - Office Notebook), Lenovo P920 (QEB 2018B High Performance Workstation) and the Getac F110 (QEB 2018B Rugged Slate Pad)

As we mentioned in yesterday's blog, very popular at the booth is a unique implementation of SecureView - a secure virtualization solution created specifically for the federal government. This demo at the show is running on very high end, water cooled Intel workstation with memory, GPUs and solid state storage capable of hosting up to 9 VMs all operating on different secure government networks.  Of course this one is for show since in a typical DoD environment we don't have fancy boxes with neon lights and glass side panels.  We wanted to show off what's under the hood of this beast of a machine.

More on SecureView

Government and military workers often use virtualization tools at the endpoint to best access multi-level computing. The preferred virtualization tool for government is, as mentioned, SecureView, developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) supported on hardware provided by NCS.  NCS hardware platforms approved for use with SecureView include the Stratus MT and Stratus DT desktops and the Vortex MT and Vortex MDT workstations.

SecureView runs multiple secure networks on one PC or workstation, with hardware-enforced security. This increasingly popular security solution is the result of extensive and continuing development work by AFRL, the open source community, Assured Information Security and NCS Technologies.
