Ultra low-cost computing solutions

Award-winning virtual desktops

The average person uses less than 5% of the capacity of their PC. The rest is
wasted. NComputing taps into the other 95% so that multiple users can
simultaneously share a single PC. Each person runs their own applications—
and has their own files, settings, and preferences. Without the bulk. Without
the expense. Without the cost of a dedicated PC.

Businesses, governments, and schools all save time and money with NComputing.

Just load our vSpace™ virtualization software onto a standard PC. Then
connect our small access devices and plug in standard monitors, mice, and
keyboards. Flip the switch and each user thinks that they have their own PC.
But there’s only one PC to manage. One PC to back up. And the cost per user
is a small fraction of what you would pay if everyone got their own PC.

NComputing customers see benefit across the board. Our solutions typically
reduce hardware and support costs by 75% and run on standard PCs with
Windows and Linux1. The vSpace software installs in minutes and the boxes
snap into place. With fewer PCs to manage, IT staff and users are more
productive. NComputing saves both money and the environment with
a 90% improvement in energy efficiency compared to PCs and a 98%
reduction in ewaste.

Neither software nor hardware alone can deliver the low price and high
performance that you want and your users demand. So we give you
everything you need. Our software, hardware, and protocol all work
together for the best possible performance.

NComputing vSpace desktop virtualization software

Desktop virtualization software
for NComputing

NComputing vSpace software divides your computer’s resources into independent

sessions that give each user their own rich PC experience. Our UXP protocol
transmits and handles the desktop display and remote activities from the user’s
keyboard and mouse. There are three ways to connect users to the shared PC.
Chose the one that makes the most sense for you.

The X-series: lowest cost and best multimedia

Desktop virtualization software
for NComputing

The X-series comes with PCI cards with either three or five connectors. The access
devices connect directly to the PCI cards via standard cables (up to 33 feet long).
The X-series provide a rich PC experience that includes widescreen resolutions and
full-screen video.
NComputing X-series

The L-series: maximum flexibility using Ethernet networks

NComputing L-series The L-series access devices connect to the shared computer via standard Ethernet
networks. That way, users can be any distance from the shared PC—whether
that’s across the hall, across campus, or across the world. L-series products come
in a variety of configurations, with options that support USB flash drives and
two-way audio. Up to 30 L-series users can share a single PC. And a server can
support hundreds.

NComputing U170 The U-series: the easiest way to connect

The U-series’ USB plug-and-play simplicity makes it the easiest way to connect
users to a shared PC. Install the vSpace software, connect your keyboard, mouse
and monitor to the U170, plug the U170 into the PC or a USB hub and you are all
set. The U170 gets its power through the USB data cable, eliminating cable clutter.
And the access device automatically assigns any other USB device to users so users
don’t have to assign their keyboard and mouse when they log in. Users can also
expect stunning multimedia capabilities on the U170.
