The View From NCS Technologies

The Preferred Way to Protect Government Data

It previous blogs concerning government security challenges, we have noted how the issue is extremely complex. Planning for security threats includes protecting 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).

In addition, government workers must be mindful about how secure their everyday network communications are. To keep communications private and secure, government workers access various levels of secure networks. This is multi-level computing.

Examples of protected information networks include NIPRNet (private IP network), SIPRNet (classified), and JWICS (top secret). 

Government and military workers often use virtualization tools at the endpoint to most best access these networks. Today, the preferred virtualization tool is SecureView, developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and implemented by NCS Technologies.

Software and Hardware Endpoints for Virtualization

NCS is a close working partner 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.

The Kansas City VMware User Con is live at the Overland Park Convention Center, 6000 College Blvd., Overland Park, KS  NCS is focused on the benefits of desktop virtualization and back office data center IT infrastructure. Stop by Table 6 and talk to Matt Cooke about the many benefits of virtualization at the desktop and in the data center. 

 IT administrators are asking about the benefits of thin clients and zero clients and background on various remote display protocols. Matt is demonstrating how zero client virtualization of client desktops improve manageability, reduce cost of ownership and improve security.
