NComputing Rolls Out New Virtual Device Architecture

The L300 is an access device that leverages NComputing V-Space software running on the server to run Windows, Linux or Unix applications. At Interop, NComputing CEO Stephen Dukker said the company plans to give away 1,000 units of the device just to show it can back up its claims concerning the performance capabilities of the Numo architecture.

NComputing access devices allow IT organizations to deploy monitors and other thin client devices to access applications. Once connected to the L300, the devices can then run any multimedia application at speeds that rival anything users might see on a traditional desktop at a fraction of the cost, said Dukker.

The end result, said Dukker, are client systems that cost less than $159, but consume 90 percent less energy and are 75 percent less costly to maintain and manage.

In addition to formally rolling out the L300, NComputing at Interop will showcase interoperability for the devices with virtualization software from VMware and Citrix as part of an effort to show how seamlessly the devices can slipstream into existing virtualization environments.
