Thanks to our now digital society, government agencies must protect sensitive public information, while making it accessible to those with authorization. Adding more PCs to meet the demand for computing access is costly. Meanwhile, tight budgets and overburdened IT departments make it an even bigger challenge. Now, more and more government agencies are voting with their dollars by deploying NComputing virtual desktop solutions. That’s because economical and eco-friendly award-winning virtual desktops stretch their computing dollars further than they ever thought possible. And they're not alone: more than 750,000 NComputing seats have been deployed by 15,000 organizations in 70 countries. Now that's a vote of confidence.
Balance your budget
- Cut PC acquisition costs by 60%
- Reduce IT complexity dramatically
- Lower electrical consumption by 90%
- Increase security from viruses, malware, and prying eyes
How does it work?
The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications use only a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. NComputing’s virtualization software and hardware tap this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by multiple users, spreading out the cost of the PC, and typically providing four times the number of seats for the same money.
NComputing offers two product lines. The X-series is best for workgroup clusters, where all of the users are located close to the shared PC. It also is the most economical solution. The L-series uses standard Ethernet networks, so proximity doesn’t matter and the shared PC can be located as far away from the users as you like—locked in your agency’s datacenter or in another government office.
Getting started
Governmental agencies have established a predictable and repeatable formula for success that you can follow, too. Seeing is believing, so start with a pilot project to see just how well your applications run on our virtual desktops. After a few days, ask the users how everything is going. Be ready for responses like, "It's just like using my own PC." or "This is faster than that old clunker I used to have. Thanks for the upgrade!." At that point, the main challenge is not whether to do more rollouts, but how quickly you can.
