NComputing Showcases 'Classroom in a Box' - The First Ever Solution to Enable Schools, Colleges and Universities to run up to 100 Desktops From a Single Operating System
LONDON, January 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
- Delivers the Simplest, Most Powerful and Affordable Desktop Virtualisation
- Delivers up to 100 user sessions per operating system
- BETT 2012, Olympia, London 11-14 January Stand J50
At BETT 2012 [http://www.ncomputing.com/bett2012 ], NComputing
[http://www.ncomputing.com ] is showcasing the latest version of its 'Classroom in a Box'
solution which slashes desktop economics for teaching establishments by enabling up to 100
students to run virtual desktops from a single operating system instance. A classroom
environment will be created on Stand J50, for visitors to experience firsthand
NComputing's desktop virtualisation and its benefits for the classroom. Visitors to the
stand will also be able to enter a competition to win a 12 user NComputing Classroom in a
Box solution.
NComputing 'In a Box' technology is the simplest, most powerful and affordable desktop
virtualisation solution on the market today, offering the lowest cost per seat available
to schools, colleges and universities. It supports both Windows and Linux platforms and
comes with all peripherals, virtual desktops and software pre-tested for compatibility and
integration.
It includes virtual desktop devices and vSpace 6.5 Server virtualisation software
that, together, transform the typical virtual desktop infrastructure from one user per
operating system to one hundred users per operating system. These solutions:
- reduce up-front PC acquisition costs by 75%
- reduce physical host servers by 75%
- lower maintenance and support costs by 75%
- reduce power and cooling requirements by 90%
- reduce risk resulting from device loss and theft
Paul Gullet, Vice President for EMEA, commented: "Cost and complexity are the biggest
barriers to virtual desktop adoption in education. Our customers told us they wanted
immediate return on investment on their desktop virtualisation deployments, the ability to
scale faster and more easily, greater manageability and improved security. NComputing
continues to pioneer innovation that will accelerate PC replacement cycles and will allow
educational institutions to deploy desktop computing where previously it had not been
viable for reasons of economics or management and support."
