SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 14, 2013 – NComputing, the leader in accelerating the adoption of desktop virtualization, today announced the general availability of strategic enhancements to its innovative vSpace Desktop and Application Virtualization Platform. Announced last December; the vSpace platform is a fully integrated, end-to-end solution bringing the many benefits of desktop and application virtualization to organizations worldwide. vSpace increases productivity by enabling users to securely work from anywhere on any device, and delivers a compelling ROI for IT by reducing hardware and energy costs, simplifying deployment, and significantly reducing ongoing management costs.

Market pressures, budget constraints and an increasingly mobile workforce are driving organizations to consider desktop virtualization as a viable computing alternative to traditional PCs. Through a unique combination of simplicity, performance and value, NComputing removes desktop virtualization adoption barriers by providing solutions for high priority IT initiatives including mobility, BYOD and migration to Windows 7 and Windows 8. In addition, new software support offerings ensure customers realize maximum value on their investment, both initially and on-going.

The vSpace platform is designed for simplified manageability, increased scalability, a rich user experience, and cost-optimized to maximize IT budgets and technology investments. The newest enhancements to the vSpace virtualization platform include:

NEW Version - vSpace Server 7.0 for Windows – Deployed by over 50,000 customers and used daily by over 20 million users, vSpace Server is NComputing’s virtualization software that resides on a stand-alone PC, a server, or within a virtual machine hosted in a datacenter; enabling IT to centralize and virtualize end user access and management of computing resources for desktops and applications. This latest release adds many new features including the ability to manage multiple vSpace Server environments from a single vSpace Management Center interface. vSpace Server 7.0 for Windows enables a richer user experience by incorporating significant performance improvements for USB-based peripherals and support for isochronous devices such as web-cams. In addition, this release includes direct access and management of secure smart cards used in conjunction with NComputing L Series- and M-Series thin client devices connected to vSpace Server 7.0 powered virtualization environments.

NEW Offering - vSpace Management Center 3.2.1 for vSpace Environments – For organizations deploying NComputing thin client devices connected to vSpace Server 7.0, vSpace Management Center delivers a highly scalable, flexible and easy to use single point of device management. A web-based console lets IT administrators manage L300 and M300 devices and vSpace Server 7.0 instances from anywhere, anytime, reducing the overhead needed to maintain and control an environment, regardless of the size, location or number of deployment sites.

NEW Offerings - vSpace Standard and Premium Software Support and Subscription Programs – Extending the basic one year support included in all NComputing products; new Standard and Premium support programs are now available for vSpace Server and vSpace Management Center. Each of the new packages offer enhanced levels of access to software upgrades and NComputing support. The Standard Support package provides access to software upgrades and unlimited email or phone support during local business hours. For customers with complex environments or who need NComputing support always on hand, the Premium Support package delivers regular software upgrades, enhanced response times, and access to NComputing support 24x7x365.

vSpace is an simple, powerful, affordable and scalable desktop and application virtualization platform providing reliable, secure access to critical applications needed everyday. vSpace is not just an alternative for PC expansions or refresh projects; it also provides cost-effective and efficient solutions for high priority initiatives such as adding mobility and BYOD to IT strategies, and dramatically simplifies the migration from legacy environments such as Windows XP or Windows Server 2008 to Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012.
