vSpace Client for Windows allows you to lower costs while adding new capabilities such as remote, mobile, and legacy PC access to NComputing vSpace deployments. New and existing customers can now extend the value of our easy to use, but incredibly powerful vSpace Server desktop virtualization software to any Windows PC, laptop or netbook. vSpace Server software is reliable, scalable and eciently manages user sessions for over 3 Million NComputing thin client virtual desktop devices - used every day all over the world by our more than 50,000 customers.

With vSpace Client, IT managers can immediately expand access to a centrally managed, high performance desktop computing environment without the expense of upgrading user hardware: to users with mobile or remote devices, or to users in a “bring-your own device” computing model. For customers with legacy equipment, constrained budgets, and limited IT sta, vSpace Client allows them to give users a rich, modern desktop experience, while gaining the added capability, exibility and cost savings of centralized desktop management. vSpace Client for Windows gives IT management an immediate solution for better enabling users to accomplish their goals as the needs of the organization change.

Radically Simple

Until now, only NComputing client devices such as the L- or M-series could be used to connect to a vSpace virtual desktop. By simply installing vSpace Client on Windows devices, users can now enjoy mobile and remote access to a familiar environment hosted on their existing vSpace Server. vSpace Client supports keyboard, mouse, display and audio redirection to maintain the high-quality experience expected by users. Access to vSpace desktop sessions is enabled at the server, so vSpace Client can be freely installed on any PC to connect to the server as needed. The client can run multiple instances and connect to more than one session and more than one vSpace host server at the same time.

Management Thin Clients

Incredibly Powerful

Users with PCs, laptops or netbooks can now access their managed virtual desktop across a LAN or WiFi connection from home or remote locations. Organizations can now focus on delivering wellmanaged desktops and applications, and provide their users with the latest generation Windows computing environment without the need to replace their hardware or deploy individual software upgrades. By deploying a mix of high performance thin clients and Windows PCs with software clients, customers can gain the benets of desktop virtualization incrementally, introducing centrally managed desktops and applications to previously unmanaged PCs with controlled and scalable deployments.

By managing applications and desktops centrally, customers can avoid costly and time consuming individual PC hardware and software upgrades. IT managers can take better advantage of their infrastructure investment, serving up to 100 concurrent client sessions from a single vSpace Server. With vSpace Client, users can increase their productivity, IT managers gain new capabilities and lower computing costs, and the organization has a clearer path to meeting its goals.
