NComputing Launches Windows 64-Bit Support

Monday, August 16th, 2010

NComputing Direct Connect Virtual Desktops (X-Series & U-Series) now offer support for the latest Windows 64-bit operating systems, Windows® Server 2008R2 and Windows® Multipoint Server 2010.

Organizations worldwide face similar computer management challenges and IT budget constraints. NComputing desktop virtualization addresses these challenges by efficiently dividing a computer’s resources into independent sessions giving multiple users computing access all at the same time. IT organizations can now leverage the latest 64-bit computer hardware and operating systems to give each user their own full Windows experience from NComputing direct connect virtual desktops.

For example, schools like Rheem Elementary (video below) have easily expanded computing access to more students using new 64-bit platforms. Teachers can personalize students’ learning experiences using a familiar Windows 7 user environment hosted through Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows MultiPoint Server 2010.

NComputing and Microsoft have aligned technology platforms to advance multi-user computing. After first launching exclusive 64-bit hardware support on its flagship server product, Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft released Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 — a 64-bit platform tailored specifically for non-technical administrators in markets like education.

NComputing has now introduced 64-bit vSpace versions that support both Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 for its Direct Connect access devices, the X-series (PCI connected) and the U-series (USB-connected). NComputing U- and X-series customers can now get this new 64-bit software from our Software Download Center.

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!

Announcing the NComputing Desktop Virtualization blog

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Welcome to the NComputing Desktop Virtualization blog. This is a group blog—executives, product management and engineering will all contribute our collective musings on the Desktop Virtualization movement. Yep, I called it a movement because there is a global revolution occurring worldwide around desktop virtualization adoption and this blog will be a great source for learning how NComputing solutions are directly impacting our global end-users. It will also be a forum to discuss company / product announcements, industry news, upcoming events and analysis of the desktop virtualization landscape.

NComputing is in a unique position.   With more than 100,000 customers and a huge global install base we have amazing stories to share in the enterprise, SMB, government and education. Not only do these stories talk about the business benefits of our solution, but there is also a clear dialogue on the social impact desktop virtualization is having worldwide.

Case in point, our CEO, Stephen Dukker, just finished attending eLearning Africa in Zambia. Stephen shared stories about how NComputing is reshaping education in more than 30 African countries. Our next blog will provide a detailed update on Stephen’s musings at eLearning. As a teaser, check out the closing video to Stephen’s eLearning Africa opening plenary session on how technology is changing the lives of millions of African citizens.
