| NComputing spreads I/O wealth |
Mar. 24, 2008
NComputing has sold more than 600,000 virtual desktops in the last three years, offering an innovative way to harness what it calls "the untapped power of existing PCs."
Five-year-old NComputing provides software that creates a virtual desktop environment on any Windows- or Linux-based computer. The NComputing solution differs from those of competitors Citrix Systems, Microsoft and VMware by also including a client device that improves I/O through a patented process.
The client device is a flat, 4-inch square connected by wire to a server or commodity computer box. The software reconstructs the virtual desktop stored in the memory of the shared computer and transmits it down the communications link to the device on back of the monitor. (All the company's products rely on cables at this time; a wireless version of the product is in the works, according to company officials.)
