NComputing,
a leader in client virtualization solutions, today announced the latest
major release of its firmware for the N-series line of Certified
Citrix-Ready HDX Verified thin clients. N-series 2.0 includes a number
of key enhancements which broadens support to the latest Citrix virtual
desktop environments, including integration of Citrix Receiver for Linux
13.0 and support for XenApp and XenDesktop 7.1 and 7.5, VDI-in-a-Box
5.4, as well as select StoreFront and NetScaler configurations. The
expanded solutions support gives those Citrix customers who plan to
upgrade their solutions ahead of the curve the opportunity to also
drastically reduce their VDI costs without sacrificing their HDX
experience.
Originally
launched in late 2012, the NComputing N-series is uniquely built to
support only Citrix XenApp, XenDesktop, and VDI-in-a-Box environments to
ensure that Citrix end users receive the best possible user experience.
Certified Citrix-Ready HDX Verified, and leveraging NComputing's own
System-on-Chip, the Numo 3, the thin client delivers a remarkable HDX
experience at an exceptionally competitive price. Today, NComputing
N-series are being used by more than 700 enterprise organizations
worldwide.
In
addition to support for the newest Citrix solutions, the new NComputing
N-series release also provides a vast boost in performance. The
integration of the new H.264 codec for video playback in XenDesktop
provides high-quality server-rendered video, including HD Flash video in
full-screen mode. The technology also includes expanded support for USB
webcams for the latest versions of Citrix XenDesktop, delivering
customers the video conferencing and collaboration tools they need to
function productively in a global market. What's more, additional HDX
enhancements at the core of Citrix Receiver for Linux 13.0 help to
further boost overall end user experience.
