Market pressures, budget constraints and a more mobile workforce are increasingly driving organizations to desktop virtualization as a viable alternative to traditional PC computing. Through a unique combination of simplicity, performance and value, NComputing removes barriers and accelerates the adoption of desktop virtualization for today’s high priority IT initiatives, including mobility, BYOD and migration to thin clients in lieu of expensive and challenging-to-manage PCs and laptops. The N-series has gained tremendous momentum since its initial release just over a year ago and continues to redefine the price and performance that can be expected from a thin client.
N-series thin clients, which include the N500, N500w, and N400, continues to lead the desktop virtualization market and is quickly becoming the de-facto thin client solution for replacing PCs in Citrix deployments. Now, the N-series fulfills the need for modern, mobile computing environments.
Specific features built into the new N-series 1.5.0 firmware include:
Full Support for Mobility with Enterprise-Grade Security
N-series delivers the gold standard in secure wireless technology with WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise and 802.1x authentication protocols over LAN and wireless LAN, hidden SSID support and more. Enhanced for healthcare organizations seeking an alternative to using unreliable, expensive and energy intensive laptops to access secure patient information from bedside computers on wheels, these security improvements will benefit also financial, government and other institutions with information security mandates.
Maximize User Productivity and IT Time Savings
The N-series provides an easier, simpler and smarter way to manage user workloads with the addition of a new, robust firmware updating system. The new vSpace Management Center 3.3.1 enables IT to centrally manage and update N-series firmware, minimizing the time required to access enhanced workspaces and applications, so that end-users can continue to run at peak productivity.
Quickly Leverage the Latest Citrix Technologies
The unique relationship between NComputing and Citrix empowers NComputing to provide the fastest time to market for support of the latest Citrix technologies. The 1.5.0 N-series firmware includes the newest Citrix Receiver™ for Linux release (version 12.5.2) and is the first thin client to do so. The new N-series firmware also introduces official support for XenApp 6.5 Feature Pack 2 and VDI-in-a-Box 5.2. NComputing’s ability to quickly support the latest Citrix technologies ensures that IT organizations can always provide the most recent and high performing HDX experience to their end users.
