Ncomputing reduces cost of computing for Indian enterprises
 NComputing,
a leading player in end-to-end desktop virtualization solutions has announced
a breakthrough in the performance and economics of VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructures)
with the release of vSpace Server 6.5 desktop virtualization software. vSpace
Server 6.5 delivers a host of industry firsts including the ability to support
up to 100 users on a single operating system, reduce the number of physical
host servers by 75%, and radically improve configuration and management of VDI
environments. VDI deployment is now possible at a fraction of the initial and
on-going cost of a traditional PC desktop computing environment.
The user density breakthrough in vSpace Server 6.5 delivers a three-fold increase
in the number of virtual desktop sessions that can be hosted on a single OS
compared to previous versions. It also allows IT and network managers to significantly
reduce the number of hardware hosts, OSs and VMs needed in virtual desktop architecture
thus delivering the most affordable based VDI solution per seat on the market.
According to Will Poole, Co-Chairman, NComputing, Inc., “VDI deployments
have been held back due to cost and management complexity. We have addressed
these issues with vSpace 6.5. Our customers asked us for simple, powerful, scalable,
and green solutions, and we’ve delivered with the best economics in the
industry.”
vSpace Server 6.5 is the simplest, most powerful and most affordable VDI solution
in the market today. This new software combined with NComputing client devices
powered by NComputing’s Numo system-on-chip technology enables a superior
user experience at the lowest cost per seat. NComputing continues to pioneer
innovation that will accelerate desktop PC replacement cycles, allowing businesses
and educational institutions to deploy desktop computing that were not previously
viable.
Will Poole adds “We expect the vSpace server 6.5 to build on our substantial
success in the Indian market and deliver what customers in India require to
fuel their growth and profitability – lower-cost and greener solutions
that exceed user’s expectations and at the same time make IT management
easier. CIOs and IT managers can now get unparalleled computing and economic
advantages that will help optimize the performance of their entire IT infrastructure”.
Additional features available through NComputing vSpace Server 6.5 include:
- Automated Deployment: Thousands of virtual desktops can
now be configured and deployed in hours rather than days or weeks. A ‘create
once; replicate multiple times’ feature uses the configuration profile
of one access device to automate all other access device configurations in
the environment. With this new feature, setting up 100 NComputing thin clients
is as easy as setting up 1, saving our customers deployment time as well as
maintenance cycles.
- Enhanced IT Support IT managers can now remotely view
as well as control user sessions via a Remote Session Control feature that
can be deployed on a permission or no-permission basis. Trouble tickets can
be resolved easily and quickly, a win-win for the user and IT support staff.
- More of the PC experience users expect: Enhanced audio
quality and support for compatible microphones makes running multimedia applications
such as Skype even easier and more enjoyable.
- Windows 7 32-bit support. NComputing delivers the broadest
platform support of any desktop virtualization vendor including Windows Server
2008 R2/2003, Windows Multi-Point Server 2011/10, Windows 7 64/32 bit, Windows
XP, and Ubuntu 10.04.

and solutions are available from leading IT distributors and resellers worldwide.
