NComputing and Citrix Herald New Era of VDI
BARCELONA, Spain, October 26, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Integration of Citrix HDX(TM) and NComputing Numo(TM) SoC
Technology Will Deliver New Virtual Client Reference Design
- Revolutionizes price/performance, power consumption and form
factor paradigm
NComputing [http://www.ncomputing.com ] today announced a strategic
collaboration with Citrix that will advance virtual client technology
innovation as a result of a new Citrix HDX Ready System-on-Chip (SoC)
reference design. Developed with Citrix Systems, the new HDX Ready SoC
reference design, powered by NComputing Numo SoC technology, will have an
immediate impact on the desktop virtualization market through the creation
of a new eco-system of high performance, low energy virtual clients and form
factors - at radically lower price points.
The HDX Ready SoC initiative, launched today by Citrix at Citrix
Synergy(TM) in Barcelona, marks a pivotal step in dramatically lowering the
cost of acquisition of virtual computing solutions. The initiative will
extend access to cloud hosted virtual desktops and applications by creating
a new eco-system of high performance, low power, low-cost devices including
thin and zero-clients, tablets, displays and set-top boxes. As a charter
member of the HDX Ready SoC initiative, NComputing will be creating
multi-generational HDX Ready SoC enabled solutions for the OEM market to
innovate in new HDX capable devices and form factors. NComputing plans to
bring an NComputing branded HDX Ready thin client powered by Numo SoC
technology to market in 1H 2012.
Said NComputing CEO Raj Dhingra, "The HDX Ready System-on-Chip
initiative represents a sea-change in VDI. NComputing will be able to
accelerate the Citrix vision of HDX/Receiver everywhere through high
performance, low cost and ultra-low energy reference designs powered by our
Numo SoC. For Citrix customers, it will mean a new range of end point
devices at unmatched price performance. For the NComputing OEM eco-system,
which already includes global leaders such as Fujitsu and LG, it will
provide the potential for entirely new product categories and market
opportunities."
NComputing has a rich history of innovation in desktop virtualization
and is one of the top three client device manufacturers worldwide with #1
market share in APAC and LATAM according to IDC[1]. With three million seats
worldwide, the company is unmatched in bringing high-performance virtual
desktop solutions to market that deliver PC-like experience at the lowest
cost per seat and is a global leader in SoC technology for virtual desktops.
Said Sumit Dhawan, group vice president and general manager, Receiver
and Gateways group at Citrix, "By enabling innovation in cloud-capable end
point devices, the Citrix HDX Ready SoC initiative will transform the end
user experience of cloud-based virtual desktops, applications and data.
NComputing has a recognized expertise in thin client technology and a vision
to change the game with transformative price points; giving customers choice
in end point devices without sacrificing performance."
Desktop virtualization is a fast growth market with Gartner projecting
hosted virtual desktops to reach 74 million users by 2014. However the
enterprise has been slow to adopt this emerging technology due to barriers
around price/performance and complexity of deployment.
These barriers will be removed by combining NComputing leadership in
high performance, low power, and low cost thin-clients with Citrix
leadership in delivering the best user experience in virtual desktop
architecture, applications and data through HDX technology. As a result,
this will open the way for unprecedented expansion of desktop virtualization
deployments and acceleration of PC replacement in the enterprise.
