vSpace Server 8.1.1.5

vSpace Server 8 introduces new features and functionality to support NComputing oneSpace for Android and iOS. vSpace Server 8.1.1.5 adds the following new features and enhancements:

There are two technologies available to SMBs to deliver a centrally hosted Windows desktop experience to their users: Remote Desktop Services (RDS) or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). RDS uses session virtualization to allow many users to log into the same instance of a Windows server OS and get a Windows desktop experience. VDI uses machine virtualization to allow multiple copies of a Windows desktop OS to run concurrently on the same physical server using a hardware abstraction layer called a hypervisor.

Fall is upon us again, and in North America that means one thing: playoff season in Major League Baseball. At NComputing, we’d usually be watching on the sidelines like (almost) everyone else, but this year we began working on an exciting project with our friends at Tickets.com who provide ticketing for all the Major League Baseball clubs (and many other sporting and arts venues).

Desktop virtualization can be expensive. Everyone knows and understands that. But in spite of the often hefty price tag, we deploy it because we know that at the end of the day it’s going to yield more benefits than staying with the status quo of distributed PCs. But, what happens when organizations take the plunge into desktop virtualization but leave those distributed PCs as glorified thin clients to access a user’s virtual desktop and applications? Well, they’re basically throwing money down the toilet.
