The View From NCS Technologies

The Preferred Way to Protect Government Data

State sponsored cyber attacks on American networks and endpoints is both in the news and a daily fact of life. For government employees, processes to thwart security threats include strategies to protect 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).

Security officials give special attention to securing everyday network communications. To keep daily work communications private and secure, government workers access various levels of secure networks. Depending on need, workers may access different levels of communications security each day. This is referred to as multi-level computing.

Highlights include:

Teradici All Access Solution

Many NCS VDI desktop solutions are based on Teradici's PCoIP virtualization technology. With Teradici's All Access plans, you get a complete set of remote access solutions, enabling lower IT costs and reduced admin time while giving users maximum flexibility. All Access securely delivers workspaces and applications from the cloud or datacenter, as needed. Existing applications can easily be migrated, mobilizing your creative teams and leveraging the power of GPUs in the cloud.

Teradici All Access subscribers get exclusive access to cloud access software, PCoIP Management Console Enterprise, firmware upgrades, resources and support. At the booth, talk to Matt Cooke about how to implement this All Access Solution.

NCS Solutions

NCS has a comprehensive portfolio of the Zero Client desktops powered by PCoIP technology. At this event NCS will highlight its award-winning notebook family, the Cirrus LT and Cirrus LT Plus.

The lightweight Cirrus LT laptop features a 14-inch display and a range of options, including webcam, WiFi, CAC reader, fingerprint reader and docking station. The Cirrus LT Plus features a full 15.6-inch display, numeric keyboard, hot swappable batteries and many options, including proximity card reader.

NCS Cirrus DT WiFi For Healthcare - and WOW

In addition, NCS will also feature the Cirrus DT WiFi, the healthcare industry's only truly portable desktop zero client.  Experience unparalleled manageability, security and reliability using the power of PCoIP networking technology.

Cirrus DT WiFi is a proven hit in healthcare when coupled with Workstation on Wheels (WOW). With exceptional network capabilities in aisles, down long corridors and in patient rooms, Cirrus DT WiFi is the virtual desktop of choice for medical cart connectivity and patient care productivity. NCS has partnered with Ergotron StyleView to deliver a networking solution that is designed for enhanced workflow and superior caregiving. NCS and Ergotron deliver superior patient personalization, with data manageability, mobility and security.

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.
