NComputing Advances Virtual Desktop Computing With New Zero-Footprint L-Series Access Terminals


(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) REDWOOD CITY, CA, September 12 / MARKET WIRE/ --

NComputing, Inc., provider of the world's
most affordable solutions for PC access, today announced new additions to
its L-series product line. The new L230 and L130 access terminals extend
NComputing's leadership in delivering a rich PC user experience while
dramatically reducing the acquisition, integration, maintenance, and energy
costs of computing. NComputing's breakthrough technology is helping
under-served markets such as education and developing countries
successfully bridge the digital divide and extend PC access to new users.
At the same time, the company's technology is providing an economical new
virtual desktop alternative for large and small businesses around the
world. Nearly 500,000 NComputing systems have already been deployed in over
70 countries.

The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today's PCs are so
powerful that they use only a fraction of their computing capacity.
NComputing builds low-cost access terminals and software that taps the
unused capacity and enables multiple simultaneous user sessions. The
L-series access terminals connect to standard monitors, keyboards, and
mice, and then connect to the shared PC via standard Ethernet networks.

NComputing's new L-series access terminals now provide zero-footprint PC
access with a VESA-compliant monitor mounting bracket for clutter-free
computing, along with enhanced audio and video features. Both the L130 and
L230 offer widescreen (1440x900) support, and a standard monitor bracket.
The L230 adds 24-bit color, a microphone input port and a USB port for
memory devices. All NComputing L-series and X-series solutions support both
Windows and Linux operating systems, with solutions as low as $70 per seat.
NComputing systems are easy and low-cost to deploy and maintain, and are
highly energy efficient. NComputing terminals consume only 1 to 5 watts per
user, versus 115 watts for a typical PC. Because fewer PCs are needed to
enable multiple users, support costs plummet, as the solid-state NComputing
terminals themselves require little or no maintenance.

"NComputing has dramatically reduced the cost of PC computing to empower a
new generation of users, including the billion people around the world who
currently do not have access to PCs because of price," said Stephen Dukker,
CEO and Chairman at NComputing. "The new L230 and L130 systems further
enhance the PC experience for these users, while also providing advantages
for businesses that are discovering the value of NComputing's virtual
desktop solution."

Leveraging NComputing's technology, a PC can easily support up to 10 users
running typical office productivity applications, and a basic server can
support up to 30 users. "With the upcoming quad-core systems from Intel and
AMD, the number of users per PC will just go higher while the cost per user
will continue to drop," said Dukker.

The L130 and L230 access terminals are available immediately through the
NComputing worldwide distribution network. The suggested customer pricing
for the L130 is $189 and the L230 is $219.
