In the area of PC virtualization, the same critcal thinking is useful. For many IT administrators, virtualizing a desktop or laptop seems fairly straightforward: the "right product" has traditionally been a thin client, a PC with a very small capacity hard drive and minimal local memory. A thin client retains some kind of OS, such as Windows Embedded™ or a customized Linus OS. Administrators hope that thin clients will be easier to administer and be lower in cost than traditional PCs. The reality is that by retaining a small OS, however, thin clients may remain more vulnerable to security exploitation and actually add to complexity of IT adminstration. That's why many now believe that zero clients offer the most secure and easy-to-administer virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) option available. Zero clients are the next generation of desktop VDI. A zero client has no local OS. The operating system resides in the data center. Therefore, there is no persistent user data, no patches, updates or antivirus software needed.  NCS Technologies is the industry authority on zero clients. Key advantages of zero clients from NCS are: - Mobile, portable or desktop choices - NSA Suite B security - AES-256 encryption - No hard drive - No OS - No local storage - No persistent user data - No antivirus needed   [Read More](https://blog.ncst.com/vdi-endpoints-moderndaymarine-0-0) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.ncst.com/vdi-endpoints-moderndaymarine-0-0#comments-listing) Topics: [VDI](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/vdi), [virtualization](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/virtualization), [security](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/security), [zeroclients](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/zeroclients), [government](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/government), [manageability](https://blog.ncst.com/topic/manageability) ## [VDI Takes Center Stage at Modern Day Marine](https://blog.ncst.com/moderndaymarine-summary) Posted by [John Callahan](https://blog.ncst.com/author/john-callahan) on Sep 30, 2016, 3:05:06 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.ncst.com/hubfs/CLT-Plus.png)](https://blog.ncst.com/moderndaymarine-summary) # Zero Client End Points Draws Strong Interest 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.
