Samsung Electronics America, Inc. is exhibiting its latest
virtualization products and solutions at VMworld 2013, an annual
conference for IT professionals focusing on virtualization and cloud
computing. Samsung will be showcasing a number of virtualization
products for the first time in the U.S. at VMworld, booth #1729, from August 25-29. These include the new NB-NH Cloud Stand,
the all-new 21.5" NC221 and the rest of Samsung's 2013 NC Series
zero client lineup of cloud displays, equipped with the new 2nd generation Teradici chipset (Tera2) processor for lower energy costs and greater power efficiency.
"Samsung
is dedicated to supporting enterprise customers with products
that offer businesses across vertical markets such as education, federal
government, corporate, banking/financial and healthcare with
secure and efficient ways to embrace cloud computing," said Tod
Pike, senior vice president at Samsung's Enterprise Business
Division. "Samsung continues to drive technology leadership in
virtualization and cloud display by providing solutions like the
NB-NH Cloud Stand that enable businesses to more easily deploy,
maintain and manage user environments that are less vulnerable to
security risks, while also freeing up valuable desktop real
estate."
NB-NH Cloud Stand - Built for Performance, Adaptability and Affordability
Samsung's NB-NH is the world's first Tera2 zero client cloud
display, enabling users to transform business monitors into a VDI
access device by integrating the latest VDI endpoint technology
into the base of the monitor stand. With VDI intelligence and I/O
built into the monitor stand, users can free their working
environments of bulky workstations and modular desktop appliances.
With an embedded Tera2 chipset, the NB-NH requires no
external hard drive or chipset for cloud computing, while also
helping users achieve higher performance with greater efficiency.
This state-of-the-art zero client technology has been improved to
deliver up to 5 times the VDI pixel performance over the previous
generation, lower power consumption which reduces energy costs,
stronger security with AES 256-bit encryption and less bandwidth
usage via client-side caching and enhanced compression.
Built-in PCoIP technology allows users to seamlessly connect to
their organization's business cloud, making user environments
easier to deploy, maintain and manage, while being less vulnerable
to security risks. This makes the NB-NH ideal for business IT
environments delivering VDI to the desktop from a hosted business
cloud, including education (K-12 and university), public sector,
federal government, corporate, banking/finance and healthcare
environments.
The NB-NH Cloud Stand enables businesses
to simplify and secure their network endpoints with desktop
intelligence baked in to the design. SoC (System on Chip)
technology is used to reduce the desktop attack surface while
almost eliminating the need for client-side administration. Since
most software is remote, and critical data is centralized, time and
money spent on managing the user environment is vastly reduced.
Samsung's NB-NH Cloud Stand also provides the I/O connections
today's business users need. With four integrated USB 2.0 ports,
users can connect a wide range of modern USB peripheral devices
such as printers, scanners, web cams, smart card or CAC readers,
wireless keyboard/mouse and headsets. Integrated stereo speakers
offer a more complete, out-of-the-box multimedia experience while
preventing unplanned costs for clunky aftermarket sound products.
It is designed to hold virtually any VESA-compatible
monitor with dimensions up to 27-inches and weighing up to 14.3
lbs. Industry standard 75mm and 100mm VESA mounting options offer
users the modularity required to support their existing monitors
or upgrade to a 21.5-inch, 23.6-inch or 27-inch panel.
NC Series Zero Client Cloud Displays - Featuring Tera2 Chipset
Samsung's NC Series zero client lineup is a class of
professional-grade monitors specially designed for desktop
virtualization and cloud computing. These highly-advanced cloud
displays provide integrated connectivity to business clouds via
desktop virtualization technology, therefore eliminating the need
for a bulky PC with excessive IT administration costs. As
sensitive information is centralized and secured in a business
cloud, the user environment is easier to deploy, maintain and
manage while minimizing exposure to security risks.
Certified for optimal use with VMware ViewTM (VDI
Connection Broker), the NC Series cloud displays combine the
latest Tera2 chipset with an LED-backlit LCD screen for
business-class performance and state-of-the-art picture quality in
a highly efficient package.
Benefits of the new Tera2 chipset include:
- Lower energy costs with greater power efficiency
- Up to 5 times the VDI pixel performance over the previous generation chipset
- USB synchronization for webcam support
- Reduction in bandwidth via client-side caching and enhanced compression
- Stronger security with AES 256-bit Encryption for PCoIP communication
The all new NC221 completes Samsung's transition to the latest VDI
access technology which leverages the Tera2 (Tera2321) chipset.
With an integrated 21.5" display panel, it's ideal for most
knowledge workers. Like all other NC series cloud displays, the
NC221 includes a digital display output for driving a secondary
monitor, allowing users to span their UI for greater productivity
and a more satisfying work experience.
