REDWOOD CITY, California , May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SoC-enabled N-series delivers industry's first HDX-capable clientsunder $100 NComputing , the world leader in end-to-end desktop virtualization solutions,today announced its portfolio of high performance thin clientsbuilt for Citrix that deliver a high performance HDX™experience for less than $100 - a fraction of the cost of existing HDX-capable thin clients orPC's. Powered by the third-generation Numo™ 3System-on-Chip (SoC), the N-series devices exclusively supportCitrix XenDesktop , Citrix XenApp™ and CitrixVDI-in-a-Box™ deployments with rich multimedia using lessthan 5 watts of power. Offering full manageability, customersupport and a dramatically lower price than alternative endpoints,the new NComputing devices transform the economics of desktopvirtualization, enabling organizations to extend their Citrixdesktop virtualization deployments. Already in test withcustomers globally, the N400 and N500 are expected to ship involume during Q2. "Transformation in cloud computing and mobile work styles ishappening at an unprecedented pace. By working with partners suchas NComputing with its expertise building thin client solutions forvirtualized environments, we are helping enterprises rapidly expanddesktop virtualization deployments with new very low-cost devicesthat deliver a superior high-definition HDX experience for users. NComputing's new thin client line will give our customers alow-cost, high-performance thin client for their virtual desktopenvironments," said Sumit Dhawan , group vice president and general manager, Receiver and Gatewaysgroup at Citrix. The two thin clients, the N400 and N500, were architected forspecific classes of users. The N400 is primarily aimed at taskworkers and provides video resolution up to 1920x1080 with on-boardgraphics acceleration, 10/100 Ethernet connectivity, and a rich HDmultimedia experience with 720p server-side video rendering. The more powerful N500, targeted at knowledge workers and thosewith higher-end applications, adds enhanced multimedia with full HD1080p client-side rendering, 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity, andoptions for dual monitor and Wi-Fi connectivity. Both devicessupport smart card readers and other USB 2.0 peripherals. Inaddition, all devices are managed with the new NComputing vSpaceManagement Center, allowing an IT organization to easily deploy,operate, and manage thousands of devices across a distributedorganization. "Centralized virtual desktop technology, also referred to as VDI,continues to gain traction in the enterprise, but limitations ofthe delivery infrastructure has been one factor that has helpedinhibit growth - especially when rich media applications are arequirement," said Al Gillen , program vice president, System Software, at IDC. "With NComputingembedding HDX support directly into its SoC-designs, thin clientcustomers now have an attractive, high-performance alternative fortheir end point computing device. This technology helps removeone of the choke points holding back larger VDI deployments." Both N-series devices incorporate NComputing's own third-generationNumo™ 3 System-on-Chip based on an ARM A9 Dual Core thatdelivers extremely high performance. With these NComputingperformance innovations in silicon, the N400 and N500 thin clientsare highly energy efficient, require no internal fans or heatsinks, and are built for extremely high reliability. Using thevSpace Management Center, customers can update either firmware ordevice profiles from a central operations center. With eitherthe hardware acceleration built into the N400 or the fullclient-side rendering of the N500, customers can count on anamazing HDX experience equivalent to that in a high-end desktop PC. "While VDI has proven itself to be of great value to enterpriseswhen it comes to centralizing and virtualizinginfrastructure, customers are desperately looking for ways tolower the cost associated with this form of computing in order tojustify and then expand their deployments," said Mike Strohl,CEO of Entisys/Agile360. "In our view, NComputing is completelydisrupting those economics, and we are excited to be ableto deliver new economies of scale and capabilities to ourclients by adding the high performance and lower cost NComputingto our portfolio." The NComputing offerings are purpose-built to support all threeCitrix desktop virtualization solutions - XenDesktop, XenApp, andVDI-in-a-Box - and any deployment model - whether 1-1 VDI or othershared computing models. With deep technical expertise in SoCdesign and Linux software development, NComputing is delivering ahigh-performance HDX experience in an extremely efficient andhighly reliable form factor. The N400 and N500 with the NumoSoC take the best aspects of thin clients, embed criticalfunctionality into a silicon-based solution, and enable prices aslittle as one-third those of current endpoints. The N-seriesthin clients provide the breakthroughs needed in cost andperformance for customers to be able to extend and accelerate theirdesktop virtualization deployments. "Until today, the Enterprise thin client market has been devoid ofreal innovation for many years," said Raj Dhingra, CEO ofNComputing. "We're excited to bring HDX on the Numo™ 3system-on-chip to the Enterprise, leveraging silicon already provenin volume. Citrix customers and partners can finally enjoybenefits of a world-class thin client device at a dramaticallylower cost - with no compromise in the HDX experience." The N400 lists at $129 , the N500 lists at $199 ; both will be subject to volume discounts that can break the $100 price barrier. Dual monitor and Wi-Fi options are availablefor the N500 for an additional cost. The N-series is expectedto be certified Citrix HDX Ready when the products ship later thisquarter. Products will be available through selected CitrixPlatinum and Gold Resellers along with volume discounts appropriateto larger desktop virtualization deployments. The N-seriesdevices will also be available through selected NComputingresellers. Additional product and pricing information isavailable directly from NComputing.
