Dallas VMUG Shines Light on NCS Capabilities
The Dallas Fort Worth VMware User Con, one of the larger VMware user gatherings in the Midwest, is over and a fair question is, what was learned? As it typical with VMUGs, the attendees were extremely knowledgeable IT managers in the VMware ecosystem and they came to discuss all things virtualization. They probed NCS about our products and capabilities and looked for what was truly unique and valuable in our virtualization offers.
IT administrators asked many questions about our take on public, private and hybrid cloud services, converged appliances, server and storage strategies and accelerating desktop virtualization. At the end of the day, two broad areas of discussion stood out.
Attendees as always were impressed by our patented, innovative desktop VDI portfolio, which is unique in the industry. In addition, they wanted to learn more about our Deployable Infrastructure solution, where comprehensive IT infrastructure can be quickly shipped and set up in the field, for industry, first responders and for the military.
The NCS Deployable Infrastructure solution is based on the concept that all aspects of a network are sized for rugged containers that can be shipped and set up nearly anywhere, running VMware vSphere. Our server appliances deliver all three network elements (storage, compute and network), plus software and services and VDI endpoints. Our deployable VDI workgroup can be a mix of NCS branded rugged servers, plus Getac rugged platforms, and NCS endpoints.
The NCS Deployable Infrastructure solutions, along with our Cirrus VDI zero client endpoints, are proven to improve manageability, reduce cost of ownership and improve security. If you have a need for IT infrastructure in a field setting, contact NCS to learn how we can help you meet your challenges.
NCS VDI endpoint solutions, the second area of discussion, use Teradici's PCoIP as the remote display protocol. Eliminating the need for local CPU power, PCoIP simply transfers the image of software running on a central server or workstation to any PCoIP-ready end-point. PCoIP compresses, encrypts and rapidly transports image pixels to end-user devices. They in turn decrypt, decompress and display the image on a screen. From a user’s perspective, there is no difference between working with a local computer loaded with software and a zero client receiving the image of the software running via PCoIP.
Users have a high performance, fully-functional computing experience - even with HD. VMware is our virtualization platform of choice. This platform improves the availability, peformance and utilization of IT resources.
