Are you attending Citrix Synergy 2018 in Anaheim, CA? If so, I invite you to add NComputing to your MUST SEE list of vendors.
With so many vendors exhibiting at Citrix Synergy this year, how do you
know which booths
to visit
and who to get on your busy schedule? One of the companies on VMblog's MUST SEE list this year is NComputing. The company has a mission to provide affordable and powerful thin client solutions to enterprise customers. They've been around the desktop virtualization industry since 2003, helping to remove the barriers through a unique formula of simplicity, performance and value.
Read this exclusive pre-show interview with NComputing to learn what they have planned for the upcoming Synergy 2018 event.
VMblog: As a Citrix Synergy 2018 sponsor, give us the rundown of your
booth setup this year. Who will be there? How can we find you?
NComputing: NComputing will
be in the Expo Hall at Booth #507.
Young Song our
CEO, Richard Sah our CTO and our whole executive team will attend. We view Synergy as our most important show of
the year and, with the introduction of the Citrix Ready workspace hub by
NComputing, we are even more excited.
Please stop by and get a demo of the RX-HDX Next Generation thin client and
see it run the Citrix Ready workspace hub software.
VMblog: Anything new that you are
announcing?
NComputing: We have been associated with Citrix for 7 years and, for us, this year is far and away the
year with the biggest announcement.
Citrix and NComputing will be launching the Citrix Ready workspace hub
by NComputing based on the NComputing RX-HDX.
It is the Next Generation thin client.
Your Smartphone is now your Workspace.
By developing this new technology, Citrix and NComputing will offer a
thin client platform that will offer improved security, a better user
experience at 1/3 the cost. It really is an amazing offering for Citrix
Workspace customers.
VMblog: Can you give VMblog readers a sneak peek as to what you will be
showing off at your booth this year?
NComputing: We will be
demonstrating the NComputing RX-HDX Next Generation Thin Client with full thin
client capability at 1/3 the cost of traditional thin clients. We can also show the RX-HDX running the Citrix
Ready workspace hub software. NComputing
can show a Smartphone running a Citrix Receiver session and that session can be
roamed over to the RX-HDX via Bluetooth beaconing. The really cool thing is that once that
Smartphone is out of range, the session on the RX-HDX is terminated. No more log in/log out. This is more secure as it doesn't rely on the
user to log out. It is also easier on
the front end as there is no log in.
VMblog: Give readers a few reasons why your product or service is
considered unique.
NComputing: RX-HDX is a
breakthrough in thin client technology.
First, it is a
full function thin client at 1/3 the price.
Incredible value. If you want to
cut your TCO of a Citrix environment, it is simple.
Then there are
the features - session roaming, screen casting and proximity
authentication. Please stop by the booth
and get a demo.
Another
critical feature is the alliance with Citrix.
Citrix and NComputing are partners in developing the Citrix Ready
workspace hub by NComputing running on the RX-HDX. As Citrix continues to add new features to
the workspace hub product, all that code will run on the RX-HDX. That is why we call the RX-HDX the Next
Generation thin client. It is already on
a par or better today than traditional thin clients but will continue to
improve because of the backing of Citrix.
VMblog: How does your company and product fit within the Citrix
ecosystem?
NComputing: NComputing is
one of Citrix's key partners and Citrix is NComputing's key partner. Together we have developed the Citrix Ready
workspace hub, starting with Citrix porting their Receiver to our RX-HDX
platform. This gives Citrix an established
thin client vendor as a partner for their workspace hub offering. We could just sell our thin client based on price which is 1/3 of traditional thin clients, but a true Next Generation
thin client isn't just a low price. We
worked with Citrix to push the envelope on both price and features.
VMblog: Does your company have any speaking sessions during the
show? If so, can you give us the who, what, when and where?
NComputing: NComputing will be at
the presentation given by Citrix to launch the Citrix Ready workspace hub
product. As the NComputing RX-HDX is a
key cog in that offering, NComputing will be part of that presentation. SYN230 will be on May 9,
11:30 a.m. - 12:15pm in Room ACC, Level 3, Ballroom B.
VMblog: Why should a Synergy attendee add you to their MUST SEE list?
NComputing: The most
important new product from Citrix at Synergy this year is the Citrix Ready
workspace hub. The Citrix Ready
workspace hub is a revolutionary product. It is the future; the office of the
future, the bank of the future, the retail store of the future and the
healthcare facility of the future. All are based on the Citrix Ready workspace
hub and NComputing's RX-HDX. You have to
see how your Smartphone is now your Workspace and how it can seamlessly
transition to running a session on our thin client. It is must see.
VMblog: What message should an
attendee take back with them to their boss after visiting your booth? How can
they internally sell your technology?
NComputing: NComputing's RX-HDX is an amazing
value. It is a full thin client at 1/3
the cost of traditional thin clients with exceptional device management
software included. Also, in the future,
your Smartphone is now your Workspace with all the benefits and cost savings
that will come with that paradigm change.
VMblog: Can you give VMblog readers a sneak peek as to what you will be
showing off at your booth this year?
NComputing: We will have
our NComputing RX-HDX with the Citrix Ready workspace hub on it. We will have a Smartphone running Citrix
Receiver and when that Smartphone gets into a specific range, the Smartphone will
transfer a Workspace session to an RX-HDX thin client. It is very cool. You can see a session running on a Smartphone
having the screen being screencasted to a large screen via the RX-HDX. Then you can see the session end when the
Smartphone leaves a specified distance.
It is must see.
VMblog: What are you looking forward to most at this year's event?
NComputing: We are looking
forward to meeting our customers and prospects and showing off our RX-HDX thin
client. We are excited about the
official release of Citrix Ready workspace hub.
We have partnered for one year with Citrix on the product and its
release. It has been a lot of hard work
but when you see it, it is amazing. We
are extremely excited.
