Stop By NCS and Getac at Table #1

TechNet Asia-Pacific is the largest trade show and event in the Pacific Rim focused on regional defense issues.  Held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki, the show is co-sponsored by AFCEA International and AFCEA Hawaii. NCS is partnering with Getac at TechNet to promote all aspects of rugged computing for the military. NCS has traditionally been one of the largest resellers of Getac products in the world and is the recognized rugged expert for military applications.

At the booth NCS is also promoting its extensive portfolio of desktop virtualization solutions. As you might expect, on the Opening Day much of the activity was focused on the NCS-Getac rugged solutions. For instance, there was strong interest in the new MX50 battle ready, fully secure, wearable tablet. The MX50 is designed for tactical operations and true field computing.

With a sunlight readable 5.7 inch display, Intel Atom X5 processor, and compact, chest-mounted design, the MX50 has the ideal size, weight and power for rugged yet mobile military applications. It is compact and lightweight, weighing in at less than one pound, and its size and weight deliver unrestricted movement and versatility.

Other rugged products being showcased include the Getac V110 fully rugged convertible, the S410 semi rugged notebook and the F110 fully rugged tablet.

The V110 drew a lot of attention this morning as a compact and lightweight fully rugged convertible that quickly transforms from an 11.6 inch display notebook to a tablet computer.

The S410 semi rugged notebook is a crowd pleaser because it delivers landmark performance, security, customization and durability in a thin form factor. It is available with an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, impressive security tools and multi-factor authentication and customization features to fit any workflow.

While dependable rugged solutions kept traffic at the booth strong, many people are also wanting to know more about the NCS desktop virtualization portfolio.

Dallas VMUG Shines Light on NCS Capabilities

The Dallas Fort Worth VMware User Con, one of the larger VMware user gatherings in the Midwest, is over and a fair question is, what was learned? As it typical with VMUGs, the attendees were extremely knowledgeable IT managers in the VMware ecosystem and they came to discuss all things virtualization. They probed NCS about our products and capabilities and looked for what was truly unique and valuable in our virtualization offers.

IT administrators asked many questions about our take on public, private and hybrid cloud services, converged appliances, server and storage strategies and accelerating desktop virtualization. At the end of the day, two broad areas of discussion stood out. 

Attendees as always were impressed by our patented, innovative desktop VDI portfolio, which is unique in the industry. In addition, they wanted to learn more about our Deployable Infrastructure solution, where comprehensive IT infrastructure can be quickly shipped and set up in the field, for industry, first responders and for the military.

The NCS Deployable Infrastructure solution is based on the concept that all aspects of a network are sized for rugged containers that can be shipped and set up nearly anywhere, running VMware vSphere. Our server appliances deliver all three network elements (storage, compute and network), plus software and services and VDI endpoints. Our deployable VDI workgroup can be a mix of NCS branded rugged servers, plus Getac rugged platforms, and NCS endpoints.

The NCS Deployable Infrastructure solutions, along with our Cirrus VDI zero client endpoints, are proven to improve manageability, reduce cost of ownership and improve security. If you have a need for IT infrastructure in a field setting, contact NCS to learn how we can help you meet your challenges.
