Mr. Girish Trivedi, Deputy Director, South Asia Middle East, Information and Communication Technology Practice, Frost & Sullivan said, “Desktop virtualization is being preferred by a variety of sectors such as the education, government, manufacturing, and healthcare. In addition, strong engagement with system integrators and resellers has propelled NComputing to the leadership position in this space.”
NComputing was chosen as the market leader because its virtual desktop computing solutions are preferred by the enterprise, education, SME and public sectors segments in the country to cut purchase and energy costs. The NComputing solution includes both the virtualization software (vSpace) that creates the ?virtual? sessions inside a PC or Server, and the thin-client devices that connect the users monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the shared computer. The NComputing thin-clients are the greenest computers on earth as they use just 1 to 5 watts of electricity ? a major benefit in India where electricity is unreliable and require expensive UPS and back up generators.
?We are delighted to receive this prestigious award from Frost and Sullivan,? said Stephen Dukker, Chairman and CEO of NComputing. ?In the past three years, we have deployed over 2 million virtual desktops around the world and our growth continues to accelerate as organizations look to cut their computing and obsolescence costs by 70 percent or more.? Last month, NComputing and Wipro announced that 31,000 NComputing systems will be deployed for a massive computerization initiative for ESIC (Employee State Insurance Company). This is the largest Cloud computing project in India and will benefit 12 million employees around the country.
