REDWOOD CITY, California, May 24, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Extends Deployment and Economic Advantages of WMS 2011 to the Desktop
in Education and SMB Markets
NComputing (http://www.ncomputing.com/), the global leader in end-to-end
desktop virtualization, today announced technology integration between
NComputing vSpace(TM) virtualization software and desktop devices, and
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows Multipoint Server (WMS) 2011 (
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/multipoint/default.aspx) multiuser
operating system. This integration extends the benefits of WMS 2011 low cost,
high performance networking and rich management features from the server
through to the desktop endpoint to provide a complete, simple and seamless
end-to-end desktop virtualization deployment.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, NComputing collaborated on early product
testing, tuning and validation to ensure the best user experience possible.
Microsoft WMS 2011 brings the Windows 7 computing experience to every student
and productivity worker and powerful tools for administrators to simplify
user setup and management, while NComputing drastically reduces the cost of
computing by allowing multiple people to simultaneously share a single
computer. NComputing offers the industry's broadest support of Microsoft WMS
2011 in desktop virtualization environments including USB, PCI and Ethernet.
As well as its L-Series (Ethernet), X-Series (PCI) and U-Series (USB) desktop
virtualization devices, NComputing vertical market 'In A Box' solutions
including Classroom In a Box for education markets and Office In A Box for
SMB markets will support Microsoft WMS 2011.
"Working together, Microsoft and NComputing have delivered shared
computing solutions that can help more students and teachers gain access to
the latest technology and embrace "21st Century Skills" in the classroom. In
the world of education, this means schools can advance higher learning and
trim budgets at the same time. In fact, a recent Forrester study[1]
commissioned by Microsoft showed that schools can triple their reach without
increasing budget, thanks to a 66% reduction in the overall costs using
Windows MultiPoint Server 2011. With Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 schools
could expect to realize significant savings in hardware, energy consumption
and costs, as well as in labor and maintenance," said Chris Phillips, General
Manager, Windows Server and Solutions Division, Microsoft.
Said Raj Dhingra, NComputing CEO, "NComputing is uniquely positioned to
expand the desktop virtualization market. We are accomplishing this through
deepening our technology integration and go-to-market partnerships with key
industry leaders such as Microsoft. When you combine Microsoft WMS 2011 and
NComputing virtualized desktop environments, previously unviable desktop
computing deployments are viable. In the world of education and SMBs, this
better together advantage translates to being able to multiply computer
access by 3 to 30 fold - for less, much less."
NComputing has deployed 2.6 million virtual desktops in 140 countries.
The company is a leading provider of virtualization to the U.S. K-12

of desktop virtualization through collaborative initiatives with Microsoft,
VMware and Citrix, through strategic partnerships with OEMs including LG and

solutions comprising all the software infrastructure, hardware and services
