Here's the good news: With the conversion to electronic medical records sweeping the healthcare industry, your patient records and critical data is now more secure and more readily available to your colleagues who depend on it. The resulting increased accuracy means fewer errors, saving lives every day. Now the bad news: As more and more computing stations are deployed, IT costs are skyrocketing and support is being stretched thin.
It is a daunting challenge to balance costs against delivery of services. Here's the best news: NComputing has a cure for the high cost of computing—our economical award-winning virtual desktops. And it has spread to more than 750,000 NComputing seats deployed by 15,000 organizations in 80 countries.
NComputing cures your computing woes
- Cut PC acquisition costs by 60%
- Dramatically reduce IT complexity
- Lower electrical consumption by 90%
- Increase security from computer viruses and malware
- The access device has no fan, so it doesn't spread harmful bacteria or contaminants (and is easy to sanitize)
- Improve HIPAA compliance, as patient data can be stored and secured on a centrally protected shared computer
How does it work?
The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of healthcare and business 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 stations for the same money. Each user’s station has it’s own keyboard, screen, settings, applications, and data files—so it’s just as if they were working at an independent machine.
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 is ideal for smaller clinics, offices, and service providers. It also is the most economical solution. The L-series uses standard Ethernet networks, so the shared PC can be located as far away from the users as you like—locked in a datacenter, wiring closet, or in an administrative office virtually anywhere in the world.
Getting started
NComputing customers have established a predictable and repeatable prescription for success that you can follow, too. Start by testing your software in a pilot project and see how much your users enjoy the responsiveness and reliability of virtual desktops. After that, it is usually a matter of when to do broader rollouts, not whether to.
