NComputing L300 Virtual Desktop
Evaluation Guide
NComputing Corporate Overview
NComputing, Inc. is the fastest growing desktop virtualization company in the world with over 20 million daily users
in 140 countries. The company’s award-winning, patented technology lowers desktop computing costs, improves
manageability, and reduces both energy consumption and e-waste for organizations. NComputing is the perfect
solution for unlocking the power and potential of PCs and cloud computing for any size company.
Today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of users only need and use a small fraction of their desktop’s
computing capacity. NComputing taps this unused capacity from a single PC, allowing many users to share it
simultaneously. Each user’s monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected to a small and highly reliable NComputing
access device, which is then connected to the shared PC. NComputing’s award-winning vSpace desktop virtualization
software provides each user with a rich multimedia computing experience with its own computing session. This
means that each user can access their applications with their own user experience.

NComputing L300 Virtual Desktop Overview
NComputing’s L300 virtual desktop delivers rich full-screen, full-motion multimedia playback; transparent USB
redirection; and unparalleled peripheral support. It is a simple-to-deploy, low-cost means to implement a complete
virtual desktop infrastructure in hours.
NComputing virtual desktops are more than simply an access device. We provide end-to-end desktop virtualization
solutions that include software infrastructure, desktop virtualization protocol and hardware.
The combination of the 3 key elements – software, protocol and hardware – provides a unique price: performance
ratio that is unparalleled in the market and provides an unparalleled end-user experience.
NComputing Delivers Highest User Density per Dollar
A core goal of the NComputing solution is to provide virtual desktops to as many users as possible with a minimum
amount of hardware and software. Said another way, NComputing focuses on providing the highest user density at
the lowest cost per seat. NComputing did careful evaluations of where most processing occurs, how fat a client needs
to be, and how much server-side computing power is required for the optimal solution to manage the end-to-end
solution cost.
The NComputing L300 maximizes user density per dollar spent by allowing you to use off-the-shelf, generic, PC-
class hardware without requiring any extra capabilities. There is no need to spend extra money on custom, complex,
purpose-built hardware (such as special graphics cards or co-processing boards) to make the NComputing virtual
desktop solution work on the server or client side.
NComputing’s end-to-end solution delivers a high end virtual desktop experience at a third the cost of other vendors
trying to do a similar thing.
