Tokyo, Japan, July 18 2012: NComputing, the world leader in end-to-end desktop virtualization solutions, today announced it is expanding its presence in Japan and bring its N-series solutions to this important market of Citrix users and partners. The company is launching the industry’s first purpose-built line of Citrix HDX Ready SoC-enabled thin clients into the Japan market during Citrix iForum Japan the week of July 16, 2012. The N-series is poised to break historic price/performance barriers for HDX-capable virtual desktop endpoints in Citrix environments. It will allow customers to deploy far more virtual seats or use the savings for other IT priorities. The products will be available for enterprise customers through specialist Citrix resellers and System Integrators. NComputing recently signed an agreement with MP Technologies。

Said Michael King, President and Representative Director, Citrix Systems Japan K.K, “Transformation in cloud computing and mobile work styles is happening at an unprecedented pace. NComputing will help enterprises rapidly expand desktop virtualization deployments and deliver a superior high-definition HDX experience for users. NComputing’s HDX-capable solutions will give Citrix customers in Japan powerful new thin clients for their virtual desktop environments at a new price/performance standard.”

A June 2012 survey of resellers worldwide outlined that the cost of hardware to support desktop virtualization is now a top-3 enabler of demand, along with mobility and ease of provisioning. As the first purpose-built HDX SoC devices available, the NComputing N-series is poised to meet this demand by offering unparalleled price/performance, a PC-like user experience, simple plug-and-play deployment, and powerful centralized management tools. Powered by NComputing’s own third-generation Numo™ 3 System-on-Chip (SoC), N-series devices exclusively support Citrix XenDesktop®, Citrix XenApp™ and Citrix VDI-in-a-Box™ deployments with rich multimedia using less than 5 watts of power. NComputing’s vSpace Management Center console allows customers to quickly and easily deploy, operate, and manage thousands of secure devices across a distributed organization.

Said Naohiro Sato, CEO, MP Technologies, “By offering a compelling choice, NComputing’s HDX/SoC products will help us grow and enhance Citrix deployments for our customers. By embedding HDX support directly into the NComputing SoC-design, thin client customers can now deploy an attractive, high-performance alternative for their end point computing devices without compromise. With NComputing, we can give customers a breakthrough solution from a vendor with proven capability to deliver high quality and responsive support.”

Said Raj Dhingra, CEO, NComputing “We are excited to expand our presence in Japan. This is a rich and diverse market with a global reputation for accepting only the highest performance products and services. We believe our unique position of delivering the most advanced, high performance and low cost desktop computing solutions will be well received by enterprise customers.”

NComputing is delivering two thin clients architected for specific classes of users. The N400 is primarily aimed at task workers with video resolution needs up to 1920x1080 and on-board graphics acceleration. The more powerful N500, targeted at knowledge workers and those using higher-end applications, adds full HD 1080p client-side rendering and options for dual monitors and factory-installed Wi-Fi connectivity. Unlike any other provider, NComputing provides the entire technology stack in partnership with Citrix, including the silicon, firmware, device design, management, and ongoing support.

Already ranked #1 in enterprise client devices in Asia Pacific by IDC, NComputing expects to accelerate this leadership through its expansion into Japan’s enterprise market.
