Today's PCs are like supercomputers. And most PC users only use a small fraction-as low as 5%-of the power of their machines. NComputing takes the excess capacity and allows up to 30 users to each enjoy their own rich PC experience. They feel like they have their own PC, but at a fraction of the cost and without all of the maintenance headaches.
Dramatically reduce your computing costs
The L-series costs less than half the price of entry-level PCs. And the ongoing savings are even higher. With no moving parts or local storage, repairs are rare and your maintenance costs are kept in check because you only have to maintain and upgrade the shared PCs-not the L-series. In fact, whenever you refresh to the latest PC technology, your L-series users will automatically enjoy the increased performance. Going green? Compare the 5 watts of power consumed by the L-series to the 110 watts or more in a typical PC. The small L-series access device (about half the size of a paperback book) consumes less power, generates less heat, produces less e-waste, and makes no noise.
Easy to install, simple to managePlug in your Ethernet cable, mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Install the included vSpace desktop virtualization software on the shared PC. It just takes a few minutes. You now have added multiple users, each with their own rich Windows or Linux environment. Best of all, you can run standard applications and your staff and users won't need any special training.
Powerful and flexibleThe L130 features a compact design, a stereo jack, and 16-bit widescreen video support. The L230 has all of that, plus a USB flash drive port, a microphone jack, and 24-bit video support. Both support 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1440x900 video modes.
