X550 desktop virtualization kit NComputing X550 (1PC Card / 5 Terminal) Eleven users on one PC? Absolutely—today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of people use only a small fraction of their available computing power. The X550 taps the unused capacity so that up to eleven users can simultaneously share a single PC. Each user gets their own virtual workspace (applications, settings, files, and preferences), but at a fraction of what it would cost with individual computers. So even though eleven people share a single system, they each get their own rich PC experience. Easy to Install Each X550 kit contains the powerful, award-winning vSpace™ desktop virtualization software, a PCI card, and five XD2 access devices. Setup is easy: just install the full-height PCI card and virtualization software on the shared PC. Then connect the access devices to the PCI card with standard cables. Finally, connect each user’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to their access device. That’s all – it’s as simple as an appliance. Now, six users can enjoy their own independent virtual desktops (one on the shared PC and five on access devices). Add a second X550 kit and eleven users can simultaneously share a single PC. Powerful & Flexible Software applications run simultaneously and independently on each virtual desktop. Users don’t even know they are sharing a PC! And most applications run right out of the box, so your staff and users don’t need special training. They will also love getting their desk space back—the XD2 access devices are tiny, silent, and have no moving parts. Yet they give each user a rich Windows or Linux workspace. Users enjoy multimedia with sound and full-motion video at screen resolutions of up to 1280x1024 or 1440x900 (widescreen). Economical & Efficient With the NComputing X550, you can easily lower your computing acquisition and support costs by up to 70%. You will also save money on electricity—the highly efficient X550 uses only 1 watt per added user (compared to 115 watts for a typical PC). With a long useful life and weighing just a few ounces, the NComputing solution also greatly reduces e-waste. It is clearly the greenest computing solution on earth.
