CHIP India calls U170 an Essential Part of Productive Office!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Last year CHIP India awarded our X-Series direct connect access device product of the month. Now we are proud to announce that our newest direct connect device, NComputing’s U170, has received a very-rare 5 star rating from the magazine!!! In the review they state “the NComputing U170 is an excellent and economical way to save on computer hardware, maintenance and electricity costs.” Of course, the magic behind the U170, and all our other access devices, is our vSpace software, which provides PC sharing by dividing the computer’s resources into independent virtual workspaces that give each user their own rich PC experience. Congratulations to the NComputing team and thank you CHIP India!

Recap of ISTE 2010, Denver

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Last week we attended the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) in Denver. ISTE is the largest tech show for PK-12 education in the United States. It was a fantastic show and there were a number of exciting moments for NComputing. Below are a few snapshots of our favorite moments.

Computer Lab Giveaway
Yup! We gave away two 22-seat computer labs powered by NComputing and Microsoft technology. The winners of the labs received two host servers, our NComputing X550 direct connect access devices, Windows Multipoint Server CALs and Windows Server CALs. The winners were:

Alex Xifos, Project Mgr, Networking and Communications, Caddo Parish Public Schools, Shreveport, LA.

Becky Morrison, 5th Grade, Ledbetter Intermediate, Farmington Arkansas (who was there with her husband, Jarod, the Technology Coordinator for the Farmington District).

Microsoft & LG Partner Funfest
As you probably already know, we have really nice partnerships with Microsoft and LG. At ISTE, Microsoft exhibited a digital classroom powered by NComputing’s USB access devices and Windows Multipoint Server. LG exhibited their Network Monitor solutions, which embed our technologies inside and transform a standard monitor in to a fully-functional access device.

All-in-all it was a great event! Next stop VMworld 2010 in San Francsico! :-)
