Complete VDI Solutions at Booth #759

The NCS Technologies booth at VMworld 2016 in Las Vegas is extremely busy this week as IT administrators stop by to learn more about our complete VDI portfolio. They love the message that NCS virtualization solutions reduce complexity, improve manageability and reduce costs.  VMworld_2016_2.jpg

Looking at virtualizing the desktop, most IT administrators are very familiar with implementing a thin client strategy. About half the visitors are not super familiar with adding "zero clients" to that mix. Contributing to the confusion, many analysts and vendors use "thin client" and "zero client" interchangeably. 

Thin and zero clients refer to virtualized PCs that are lightweight and typically purpose-built with no hard drive, memory, etc. and all applications and sensitive data reside back in the data center.

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".

Complete NCS VDI Portfolio Showcased at VMworld

Mike, Matt and Joe are showing off the NCS VDI portfolio at VMworld. Go to Booth #759 and test drive one of our Cirrus family laptops, or see how Cirrus DT WiFi works on a zero client desktop that is portable! In addition, NCS Technologies is showing a scalable and flexible end-to-end VDI solution, from the data center to the end point. IT managers no longer have to worry about vendor lock-in, over-pricing and a "one size fits all" approach. Please stop by this week and let us show how we take the guesswork and stress out of implementing a departmental or organizational VDI deployment.
