Get Work Done Away From the Office - Securely

Using the power of VDI and innovative zero client laptops from NCS, you can securely get work done even when you're away from the office. It's January and the latest winter megastorm is affecting more than 70 million people, or a third of the U.S. population. Millions of workers away from their office desks are grabbing their laptops whereever they are and using the power of virtualization to get work done securely. IT managers love virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) because it can decrease IT complexity and lower costs. But one of the most important benefits of VDI is strong security. 

In a discusion of VDI, it's understood that the desktop operating system, applications and sensitive data are hosted securely on a server in the data center - which can reduce complexity. But in enterprises where some may be tempted to cut corners by implementing thin clients at the user end - it's clear that such a move can compromise security and increase management complexity. Zero clients are the better security solution every time.

Defining a True Zero Client

A zero client has no local OS. The operating system resides in the data center. Since there is no persistent user data, no patches, updates or antivirus software needed. The biggest innovation in the zero client space is mobility. Until now, zero clients were restricted to desktop implementations.
