The NComputing solution has been deployed by over 40,000 organizations around the world. The deployments are in almost every industry segment and every type of end-user environment. We are the ideal fit for task-workers who are in a structured environment like offices, branches, factories, retail, call centers and hospitals. Lets take a look at a few examples.
The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications only use a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. PCs have gotten faster and faster every year, but typical user needs have increases only slightly.
Desktops are now mainframes and 3 GHz multi-core systems cost less than $700. But the typical user is word processing, web-browsing, using educational software and productivity applications like PowerPoint.
So the processor utilization on a typical PC averages less than 10%. That means 90% of the computer power is wasted.
What if you could harness that extra computing power? What if a single PC could be shared by many users?
NComputing takes an ordinary PC and allows it to be shared by many users.
Each user has their own keyboard, monitor, mouse and speakers
Each user has their own applications
Each user has their own preferences and settings and data files
But all of the computing happens on the shared PC. You have just one system to manage, one system to backup.
And even though it is very sophisticated technology, it only takes just minutes to install and configure.
Now, there are three ways that the access devices can connect to the shared computer.
Our L-series use standard Ethernet networks.
[CLICK]
The X-series comes with a PCI card, and the access devices connect directly to the PCI card.
[CLICK]
And the new U-series, which is scheduled to be available early in 2010, snaps into place with USB cables.
Each method of connecting has its own advantages. Let’s take a closer look at each.
We have two X-series products: the X350 and the X550.
The X350 includes the vSpace virtualization software, three access devices and a PCI card with three ports on the back. If you install one X350 kit into a PC, you get a total of 4 users -- one user on the PC itself, and 3 more connected to the card. And you can install a second X350 kit and get 3 MORE users for a total of 7 users on one PC. The X350 sells for about US$219 per kit. So divide that by 3 users, and you get about $70 per seat.
The X550 includes the vSpace software, a FIVE port PCI card and 5 access devices. By installing an X550 kit, you get a total of 6 users – 1 on the shared PC and the 5 additional users. You can install a second X550 kit and get 5 MORE users for total of 11 users. The X550 sells for about US$399 a kit.
[NOTE: 3-card support is in testing]
You might be wondering how well a PC works with 11 users on it…
It takes about 5 minutes to install the X-series PCI card.
Another 5 minutes to snap into place the access devices.
Another 10 to connect the user peripherals.
And another 10 to install the vSpace software.
About a half hour total. And that’s the X-series. With the L-series, you don’t even need to install a PCI card.
Because our solution is used around the world, we made it really easy to set up and manage. Entire computer labs can be set up in a matter of hours, not days.

This probably sounds too good to be true. So here is an example. Here we have a Dell 2.4GHz PC that costs under $400. You can see we are running a DVD movie on 3 screens, Outlook, PowerPoint, video from CNN.com and YouTube. All of 11 users are running concurrently on a $400 PC…
And note the utlization – 65% usage with 11 users. There is still plenty of headroom. And as long as the utilization stays below 100%, each user feels as if they have the full attention of that 2.4 GHz CPU.
We have another product line called the L-series. Here you see 30 L series access devices connected to a single $500 Dell Inspirion server. The 31 sessions are running a variety of applications including web, office productivity, and multimedia.
Because our solution is used around the world, we made it really easy to set up and manage. Entire offices can be set up in a matter of hours, not days. Installation consists of 3 easy steps and takes about 30 minutes to get up to 20 users up and running. How long would it take to get 20 desktop PCs up and running?
First, key messages
The L300 Ethernet virtual desktop is a breakthrough product that creates a new category of low cost thin or zero clients that deliver the rich multimedia feature set and manageability of four and 5ive hundeed dollar thin clients.
The L300 is the first hybrid thin client media player, meaning it has been designed for both standard desktop computing tasks as well as the ability to playbock high resolution video.The L300 is enabled by the most advanced version of vSpace software yet, capable of supporting 30 or even more users per host or virtual machines
New vSpace features include the ability to automatically configure and manage new devices all without complex management servers or agents
And finally the L300 works with many different enterprise desktop architectures including Vmware and Citrix
Macedonia is a small country in southern Europe. The Macedonian government realized that if they wanted the country to improve its economy and become a part of the EU, it had to improve its education systems and join the information economy. It had the dream to bring 1:1 computing to every public school student in the country. But how does a relatively poor country provide 180,000 students with a ultra low-cost computer? It looked at cheap PCs, low-cost laptops, thin clients and ultimately decided NComputing was the best fit. Why NComputing?
Affordable: &lt;$200 per seat FULLY DEPLOYED
Maintenance Costs: Follow the Shared PC’s and Monitors, our terminal devices are maintenance free.
Operating Costs: At 1 watt per X300 station vs 85+ for a PC cost of ongoing operation is vastly lower, electrical costs are reduced and air conditioning is not required.
Limited Obsolescence: They knew that whatever computers they chose, they would be obsolete within 5 years. They could never afford to replace 180K Systems every 5 years, but they only need to replace or upgrade the 23,000 shared computers not the 160,000 X300 terminals which simply move from the old PC’s to the upgraded units.Affordability AND Sustainability
