The Air Force Information Technology & Cyberpower Conference will be held Monday through Wednesday at the Montgomery Alabama Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center. NCS Technologies has a large presence at the show, anchored by the 20x20 Booth #232 and a full staff of NCS and Getac employees on hand to answer any of your inquiries about rugged computing and desktop virtualization.

This must-attend event provides an important platform for Air Force IT experts, academics and industry experts on cybersecurity and IT. AFITC offers a full slate of events, with three days of speakers, education and training and many exhibits that demonstrate ways to better defend the military and country from cyber attacks and advanced persistent threats.

Visitors are interested in several topics, including rugged computing and how to best implement VDI. In the days ahead we will share user insights into how they implement rugged computing solutions, and what the plans are to more fully implement desktop virtualization.

VMworld Kicks Off August 27-31 at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

There are many places to be active in the virtualization ecosystem, including the frequent VMware User Groups meetings held periodically around the country. But the epicenter of virtualization experitise each year is at the VMworld conference, held this year in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Convention Center.

Both Rugged Computing & Desktop Virtualization Were Popular Topics

The trade show portion of TechNet Augusta finishes up today! The event gave hundreds of U.S. Army and other services personnel the opportunity to explore NCS solutions involving rugged computing and desktop virtualization (VDI). At the NCS booth, Getac rugged computing solutions were very popular - Getac rugged notebooks, servers, tablets and wearables. NCS is the largest reseller of Getac rugged solutions. Really drawing attention at TechNet was the new Getac MX50 battle ready, fully secure wearable tablet.

The Air Force Research Laboratory has announced the next version of SecureView, which will include both the addition of several long-awaited features as well as the return of one of my favorite features, now in a brand-new package.

Broad NCS Technology Portfolio in Demand at Symposium

The NCS Booth at the Defense Health Information Technology Symposium (DHITS) was active all week and we were delighted to continue our many discussions with our service-related healthcare customers. Defense Health Agency (DHA) is a joint integrated Combat Support Agency that enables the Army, Navy, and Air Force medical services to provide a medically ready force and ready medical force to Combatant Commands in both peacetime and wartime.

NCS Supports US Naval Academy

Earlier this week, the US Naval Academy took delivery of four 53-foot-trailer loads of HP laptop computers, accessories, HP printers and Hyundai monitors to support the upcoming Issue Day for the USNA Class of 2021 Plebes.

With close coordination from USNA Midshipmen Store staff, NCS designed and provided a configuration for the more than 1200 issue kits. This enabled the Midshipmen Store staff, with the assistance of NCS personnel (Doug Eacker, Karen Jenkins, Rick Goodman, Gerardo Trinidad, Darrell Patterson and David Snyder, in the second photo below) to accomplish a much more efficient delivery and setup of the product than in years past. This also resulted in a more efficient review and acceptance by the Plebe class. The USNA Mid Store staff and Business Services Division staff were very pleased at the increased efficiency and speed in which this very large project was accomplished.

NCS is delighted to have the privilege of supporting the next class of our nation’s and allied partner nation’s Naval and Marine Corps officers. The level of customer service, attention to detail and dedication to our customer’s mission shown on this project is just another day at NCS.
