L-series: L300

Ethernet virtual desktop

L300 Key Features

Performs in your environment

Whether playing DVD-quality

full-screen video or connecting

specialized USB 2.0 devices, the L300

has the power and exibility to work

in the environment you choose.

Fits your budget, today &
tomorrow

The L300 redenes performance

and value for thin-client or zero-

client devices. A complete virtual

desktop solution can be deployed

for less than half the cost of PCs, with

ongoing management savings of

75% and power savings of over 90%.

Easy to deploy

Whether you need four workstations

in a remote branch oce or four-

thousand in a corporate oce, the

L300 can be deployed easily using

vSpace management tools.

Easy to manage

The L300 is a zero management

client. Once deployed, there are

no applications, software, or

drivers to manage on the device.

vSpace software centrally handles

rmware changes without requiring

user intervention.

Enterprise IT departments are actively searching
for less expensive ways to purchase, deploy,
and manage employee desktops. Desktop
virtualization has been considered the cure-all for
this headache, but users are still concerned about
virtual desktop performance and multimedia
support. NComputing shatters this perception by
delivering rich multimedia playback, powerful yet
simple deployment and management tools, and an
industry-leading price point via its next-generation
access device—the L300 virtual desktop with
vSpace® Server desktop virtualization software.

NComputing, the market leader in deployed virtual
desktops, has delivered more than 2.5 million low-cost access
devices worldwide. The newest access device, the L300 virtual
desktop, delivers rich full-screen, full-motion multimedia playback;
transparent USB redirection; and unparalleled peripheral support.
Combined with the NComputing vSpace Server, the L300 now provides
enterprises with a simple-to-deploy, low-cost means to implement a complete
virtual desktop infrastructure in hours.

vSpace virtualization software—get more from your VDI
investment

NComputing vSpace Server enables enterprises to optimize virtual desktop deployments by
providing multiple end users with simultaneous access to a single Windows operating system
instance. vSpace not only integrates into virtualization server deployments based on VMware, Citrix
and Microsoft oerings, but can also extend their value by changing the typical virtual desktop
structure from one user per virtual machine to 100 users per virtual machine. This has a direct,
positive impact on operational expenses and immediately lowers overall desktop PC costs such as
support, maintenance, and desktop replacement.

The L300 access device—next-generation media acceleration

With the L300, watching DVD-quality video on up to a 1920x1080 display comes standard for
most common media formats. The game-changing access device comes packaged in a sleek low­power package that can be easily mounted on a monitor or secured to a desk. Powered by a new
NComputing Numo System-on-Chip (SoC), the L300 uses patent-pending hardware technology
to decode and scale multimedia locally, eliminating network strain. The L300 access device
costs less than any other thin- or zero-client options and a quarter of the cost of desktop PCs. In
combination with the NComputing vSpace Server, it enables VDI solutions at one-third the price of
traditional oerings.

Video content played through standalone media players or
embedded into web pages may be transcoded, streamed,
locally decoded, and scaled up to 1920x1080 resolution at full
frame rates.

Administrator may dene a failover group list of hosts to which
devices may automatically connect

Administrators may dene a device template with all settings
and congurations so that it may be cloned and pushed to
new devices

Leverage VMware to deploy multiple instances of vSpace,
multiplying the number of users per server, or integrate the
Citrix Receiver to deploy XenApp-based applications

The L300 is eas y to congure and automatically receives
updates from deployed vSpace servers

The L300 includes 2 USB 2.0 ports that transparently redirect
bulk, HID, mass-storage class, and printer devices back to the
server where the native driver is installed

The L300 includes a convenient VESA mounting option for
LCD displays

Users will experience PC-quality video without excessive host­side processing or requiring a local PC or thin client with media
player and codec support

Each user can be assured a login within seconds, even in the
event of a host failure, without complex central management
servers and agents

Thousands of devices may be easily deployed without manual
conguration—and without requiring the installation of
complex centralized management infrastructure

Extend the benets of vSpace and the L300 for large
deployments by leveraging server and application
virtualization technologies

The L300 is eas y to congure and is automatically managed
by the vSpace server, unlike thin clients that require complex
management tools to deal with locally installed applications or
so-called “zero clients” that require complex net working and
management server setup

No local management of drivers is required to support
USB devices

Keep the desktop clut ter-free by mounting the L300 device to
the back of an LCD monitor
