NComputing has announced its portfolio of thin clients built for Citrix that deliver a high performance HDX experience for less than $100 a fraction of the cost of existing HDX-capable thin clients or PCs.
Powered by the third-generation Numo 3 System-on-Chip (SoC), the N-series devices exclusively support Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix XenApp and Citrix VDI-in-a-Box deployments with rich multimedia using less than 5 watts of power.
Offering full manageability, customer support and a dramatically lowerprice than alternative endpoints, the new NComputing devices transform the economics of desktop virtualization, enabling organizations to extend their Citrix desktop virtualization deployments.Already in test with customers globally, the N400 and N500 are expected to ship in volume during Q2.
Transformation in cloud computing and mobile work styles is happening at an unprecedented pace. By working with partners such as NComputing with its expertise building thin client solutions for virtualized environments, we are helping enterprises rapidly expand desktop virtualization deployments with new very low-cost devices that deliver a superior high-definition HDX experience for users. NComputings new thin client line will give our customers a low-cost, high-performance thin client for their virtual desktop environments, said Sumit Dhawan, group vice president and general manager, Receiver and Gateways group at Citrix.
The two thin clients, the N400 and N500, were architected for specific classes of users. The N400 is primarily aimed at task workers and provides video resolution up to 1920x1080 with on-board graphics acceleration, 10/100 Ethernet connectivity, anda rich HD multimedia experience with 720p server-side video rendering. The more powerful N500, targeted at knowledge workers and those with higher-end applications, adds enhanced multimedia with full HD 1080p client-side rendering, 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity, and options for dual monitor and Wi-Fi connectivity. Both devices support smart cardreaders and other USB 2.0 peripherals. In addition, all devices are managed with the new NComputing vSpace Management Center, allowing an IT organization to easily deploy, operate, and manage thousands of devices across a distributed organization.
Both N-series devices incorporate NComputings own third-generation Numo 3 System-on-Chip based on an ARM A9 Dual Core that deliversextremely high performance. With these NComputing performance innovations in silicon, the N400 and N500 thin clients are highly energy efficient, require no internal fans or heat sinks, and are built for extremely high reliability. Using the vSpace Management Center, customers can update either firmware or device profiles from a central operations center.
