In managing the data center, IT administrators constantly confront issues of complexity and how to best manage legacy equipment and software in the most efficient manner. A new generation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions is proving effective in addressing data center infrastructure complexity, while lowering costs and improving reliability.
By preparing ahead, war fighters, first responders and industry can cost-effectively leverage VDI infrastructure - even when operating a great distance from the traditional data center and office environment.
NCS Technologies makes possible the rapid deployment of IT infrastructure into the field without the weight and footprint of traditional solutions. NCS offers hyper-converged back-end solutions and end points intelligently integrated into rugged transit cases. These cases are capable of supporting large numbers of clients in the field without losing centralized control while simultaneously delivering ease of maintenance. This approach also simplifies the IT aspects of the reset process that must occur upon returning from deployments.

Access Multiple Independent Levels of Security
Many government professionals communicate every day using private IP networks of various classified levels. For instance, U.S. Department of Defense and Department of State employees may access the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) to transmit classified information (up to and including information classified SECRET). Others may use the NIPRNet (Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network). NIPRNet is used to exchange unclassified but sensitive information between internal users as well as providing users access to the Internet. Additionally users may access JWICS, the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System for Top Secret communications.
While it is not unusual to government professionals using dedicated computers to access these private IP networks, increasingly IT administrators are turning to SecureView to more effectively and efficiently address access issues to these networks.
SecureView is a virtualized platform solution for government professionals who access different classification levels from a single PC device. It is a multi-level virtual platform which allows a user to run multiple securely isolated environments on a single PC or workstation, provide hardware-enforced security and deliver superior virtualization in the most demanding environments.
The SecureView solution is is the result of extensive development work by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the open source community, Assured Information Security and NCS Technologies.

Modern Day Marine ended Thursday at Marine Corps Base, Quantico, and despite the dreary weather, the huge white pavilions set up on the scenic parade grounds were energizing beehives of activity as visitors sought out information about the latest IT and tactical technologies. The NCS booth in the first pavilion was constantly busy as we showcased of range of innovative IT technologies, including the rugged Bunker XRV-5241 IU short-depth server; a transit case of deployable, end-to-end Virtual Desktop Infrastructure which featured rugged Getac servers and end points; and the comprehensive portfolio of NCS Cirrus zero client desktop and laptop solutions.
While visitors took an interest in all of our products, it was especially gratifying to see the impressive level of awareness that visitors had about virtualization in general, the VMware ecosystem and the plusses and minuses of thin clients versus zero clients.

NCS Technologies is demonstrating our complete VDI portfolio at VMworld 2016 through tomorrow. Visitors are learning that NCS virtualization solutions reduce complexity, improve manageability and reduce costs.
NCS is showcasing our complete zero client end point portfolio.
Laptops: NCS offers the Cirrus LT with a 14-inch screen and Cirrus LT Plus, offering a generous 15.6-inch HD display. Visitors are excited to learn about the full keyboard and optional 4G broadband!
Desktops: NCS zero client desktops support two and up to four displays. Very popular at VMworld is the new Cirrus DT WiFi, which is ideal for portable use or placement in those hard-to-serve areas. Cirrus DT WiFi is in very strong demand in healthcare scenarios.
Zero Clients Are Better at the End Point
NCS zero clients are managed by VMware Horizon software and use the ultra-secure Teradici PCoIP remote display protocol. PCoIP transfers the image of software running on a central server to the virtualized end point. At that end point, there is no persistent data, no patching or updates and no antivirus software needed. At VMworld, IT people love it when we explain how PCoIP optimizes network efficiency to deliver a superior end-user experience, even on multiple displays. You simply can't get the PCoIP experience if you go "thin client".
