Virtual PCs are managed by master image and differential data to
reduce storage space requirements.
Additional virtual PCs can be created quickly by simply modifying the
differential data.
Patches and appli cati ons appli ed to master images are preci sel y
reflected to linked virtual PCs.
Multiple versions of master virtual PCs are supported to enable efficient
and flexible management.

Virtual PC Center
While delivering the full user-experience of traditional PCs, performance improves. Virtualized
PCs which require additional resources for high demand workloads automatically gain access
to unused server capacity.
Desktop virtualization to
unleash your workforce and
deliver end-to-end innovation
The Virtual PC Center desktop virtualization solution dedicates a virtual PC to each user, complete with their current desktop applications and
settings. Virtual PCs reside on servers while thin clients have no storage and simply provide the user-interface. This allows users to securely
access their working environment from any available terminal whenever, wherever needed.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, or VDI, has become a popular technology because it is a secure IT foundation while at the same time it provides
complete capabilities for innovative work styles including mobile and tele-working. In addition to avoiding security risks and providing resilience
against disasters and pandemics, VDIs eliminate the burden of maintaining distributed PCs and achieve signifcant power savings to make
businesses more cost effcient and green. Virtual PC Center, an end-to-end desktop virtualization solution from NEC, makes progressive working
styles and trustworthy business continuity plans a reality.
Simplify desktop complexities in the datacenter
Migrate your traditional PCswith individual settings and the familiar look and feelto a
centrally managed, fundamentally effcient IT system. From deployment to daily use and
management, every aspect of the Virtual PC Center desktop virtualization solution is lean,
convenient, and remarkably productive.
Risk of data loss
Corporate data is compromised as a result of the loss or theft of PCs.
Costly operational management
Application software, antivirus software, and security patches must be installed
on each PC.
No PC, no work
Users and work are limited to specifc PCs because data and environmental
settings are unique to each PC.
Enhanced data security
All data is securely stored on a server to reduce the risk of data loss by
end-users.
Effcient centralized management
Installation of software and patches is performed in batch on the server by a
single administrator.
Get connected anywhere
Users can access their own desktop environment from any available client. Work
can be continued at alternative locations during pandemics and disasters.

Resources are allocated
according to each users
performance requirements,
enabling users to complete
projects seamlessly.
With VPCC, users can enjoy
high-speed video playback
and video streaming which is
a prerequisite to take
advantage of broadband
environments. NEC's
multimedia software enables
video processing on the client
side for flawless video
playback.
If the server load increases,
virtual PCs are automatically
moved to a server with more
free resources to optimize
loads across servers.
Effective use of server resources
Smooth video processing
When away from the office,
in-house servers which host the
virtual PCs can be securely
accessed via VPN. This allows
users to call up their own PC
environment and work without
risk from any terminal at any
hour. VPCC enables secure
telecommuting from home or
branch offices as well as mobile
or temporary environments,
enhancing your companys
flexibility and business continuity
capabilities.

Virtualization infrastructure
VPCC autonomously and
dynamically reallocates and
consolidates virtual PCs to
optimize physical servers. Power
consumption is minimized by
shutting down idle servers during
low load periods such as night
hours and holidays, and starting
them up again at the beginning of
the day or whenever access to
virtual PCs increases. As a result,
VPCC delivers energy savings as
much as 43% over traditional PC
systems.
Green ITsignificant energy savings
* Comparison based on annual operating condition of 8 hours/day, 247 business days/year
End-to-end efficiencyfrom deployment
to daily use and management
Virtualized PCs and servers accommodating them are efficiently controlled through
centralized management via an integrated Web console. Capabilities include
autonomous operation in conjunction with hardware monitoring, session
management, virtualized PC power supply control, and simplified software
distribution.
