NComputing launches 3-in-1 client

BANGALORE, INDIA: NComputing, the world leader in end-to-end desktop virtualization solutions for small to midsize enterprises (SME) and education, announced the NComputing M300, an entirely new virtual desktop device that redefines what is possible in a thin client.

The M300 delivers customers a 3-in-1 device that provides a rich PC experience to 3 users simultaneously at 1/3rd the cost, using 1/3rd the power and 1/3rd the networking ports compared to PCs and other thin clients. Customers can now deploy more computing per rupee, spend less on power and facility upgrades, and manage with fewer IT resources.

Available immediately worldwide, the M300 is targeted at local workgroups from three to 45 users in environments like classrooms, labs, libraries, shared office workspaces, business centers and call centers.

The M300 3-in-1 thin-client is a breakthrough driven by advancements in three separate areas:

In Silicon: The 2nd-generation Numo 2 SoC delivers the performance and rich user experience like having 3 PCs on a single chip. Within a single chip, the Numo 2 delivers three dedicated graphics, video, and user subsystems across common infrastructure like memory, I/O, and power. This multi-tenant architecture dramatically offloads processing from the server and minimizes the infrastructure and power needed to deliver high performance computing.

In Device Architecture: The M300 thin-client device leverages the Numo 2 SoC to support 3 independent users across a single Ethernet port using a single power plug. The M300 provides full HD-video and high-resolution graphics capabilities, allowing a rich PC experience in almost every work setting.

In Software: The vSpace Server software supports up to 45 concurrent M300 desktop sessions on a single consumer-class host PC. With an extensive set of management tools, IT managers can deploy and maintain a Microsoft Windows or Linux-based environment in a fraction of the time compared to other solutions.
