Improve Manageability, Better ROI
NCS Technologies staffers spent a very productive day Wednesday with VMware users at the Philadelphia VMUG UserCon, held at King of Prussia, PA. Hundreds of VMware users networked with fellow industry players, attended educational sessions, and kicked the tires on innovative VMware ecosystem solutions.
As always at these events, the NCS portfolio of deskop and laptop zero client solutions generated a lot of buzz in sessions, in the aisles and around lunch tables.
A frequent goal at VMUG events is to explore how vendor solutions fit into desktop virtualization strategies. High up on many lists are the IT needs for improving manageability, driving down cost of ownership and improving security. In all of these metrics, zero clients from NCS Technologies outperform thin clients from the Tier One PC vendors.
As we frequently mention in these blogs, even very sophisticated network administrators and engineers are still fuzzy about exact differences between virtual endpoints, thin clients versus zero clients. Part of the problem is Internet Search. If you are researching what a zero client is, you will get a lot of information on thin clients, as if they are interchangeable - when they are not. Some of the larger vendors with large thin client offerings will be lumped in with zero client offerings. Even the major industry analysts often refer to "thin and zero" in the same category. But in fact there are major differences, and the positive differentiators all favor zero clients.
NCS zero client end points lead the industry in innovation, ease of use and low cost of ownership. NCS solutions rely on the PCoIP protocol, which compresses, encrypts and encodes the entire computing experience at the data center. Information is transmitted as pixels across the IP network to the end points. 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.
