Today’s PCs are like supercomputers
NComputing virtual desktops are based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of people use only a small fraction of their available computing capacity. The X300 taps this unused capacity so that up to seven users can simultaneously share a single PC. Each user gets their own personal computing environment (applications, settings, fi les, and preferences), but at a fraction of what it would cost to deploy individual computers. So even though seven people share a single system, they each get their own rich PC experience.

Easy to install
Each X300 kit contains virtualization software, a PCI card, and three access devices. Setup is easy. Just install the PCI card and virtualization software on the shared PC. Then connect the access devices to the PCI card with the cables. Finally, connect each user’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to their access device. Now, four users can enjoy their own independent virtual desktops (one on the shared PC and three on access devices). Add a second X300 kit and seven users can simultaneously share a single PC.

Powerful and flexible
The access devices themselves are small, silent, and have no moving parts. Yet they deliver a rich Windows or Linux experience. Users can enjoy
multimedia with sound and full-motion video at screen resolutions of 800x600 and 1024x768. Software applications run simultaneously and independently on each virtual desktop so that users don’t even know they are sharing a PC. Best of all, most software applications run right out of the box, so your staff and users won’t need any special training.

Cost-effective and efficient
With the NComputing X300, you can easily lower your computing acquisition and support costs by up to 70%. You will also save money on electricity—the highly efficient X300 uses only 1 watt of electricity per added user (compared to 115 watts for a typical PC). With a longer useful life and far smaller size, the NComputing solution also helps reduce e-waste, a growing problem around the world.
