Performance & Environment
X550 desktop virtualization kit
Eleven users on one PC? Absolutely—today’s PCs are so powerful that the
vast majority of people use only a small fraction of their available
computing
power. The X550 taps the unused capacity so that up to eleven users can
simultaneously share a single PC. Each user gets their own virtual
workspace
(applications, settings, files, and preferences), but at a fraction of
what it
would cost with individual computers. So even though eleven people share
a
single system, they each get their own rich PC experience.
Easy to install
Each X550 kit contains the powerful, award-winning vSpace™ desktop
virtualization
software, a PCI card, and five XD2 access devices. Setup is easy: just
install the full-height PCI card and virtualization software on the
shared PC.
Then connect the access devices to the PCI card with standard cables.
Finally,
connect each user’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to their access device.
That’s all – it’s as simple as an appliance. Now, six users can enjoy
their own independent
virtual desktops (one on the shared PC and five on access devices).
Add a second X550 kit and eleven users can simultaneously share a single
PC.
Powerful and flexible
Software applications run simultaneously and independently on each
virtual
desktop. Users don’t even know they are sharing a PC! And most
applications
run right out of the box, so your staff and users don’t need special
training.
They will also love getting their desk space back—the XD2 access devices
are
tiny, silent, and have no moving parts. Yet they give each user a rich
Windows
or Linux workspace. Users enjoy multimedia with sound and full-motion
video
at screen resolutions of up to 1280x1024 or 1440x900 ( widescreen).
Economical & efficient
With the NComputing X550, you can easily lower your computing
acquisition
and support costs by up to 70%. You will also save money on
electricity—the
highly efficient X550 uses only 1 watt per added user (compared to 115
watts
for a typical PC). With a long useful life and weighing just a few
ounces, the
NComputing solution also greatly reduces e-waste. It is clearly the
greenest
computing solution on earth.
