NComputing and Citrix together are raising the bar on VDI with a partnership to produce multi-generational HDX Ready System on Chip (SoC) enabled solutions powered by NComputing Numo SoC technology, dramatically lowering the acquisition cost of VDI as well as extending VDI and application access with the creation of a new eco-system of high performance, low-cost devices including thin and zero-clients, tablets, displays and set-top boxes.

NComputing and Citrix are expanding the reach of VDI with the announcement of the HDX Ready Numo System-on-Chip (SoC) platform promising unmatched price/performance and deployment simplicity. This platform delivers the highest level of rich-media user experience expected from Citrix HDX solutions, delivered through a new generation of high performance, low-power clients - at radically lower price points.

A Shared Vision
Citrix and NComputing have a common vision to drive mainstream adoption of virtual deskops, and share a goal to eliminate the barriers of cost and complexity - a main contributor to delayed adoption. Citrix HDX delivers a "high definition" user experience for virtual computing solutions. NComputing’s Numo SoC technology completely redefines the market by setting a new level of performance at an industry leading price point. By bringing these two market leading technologies together, enterprise customers will be able to significantly lower the initial acquisition costs of virtual computing solutions without compromising on experience.

Benefits for customers
NComputing plans to bring an NComputing branded HDX Ready thin client powered by Numo SoC technology to market in 1H 2012. The new NComputing HDX client devices will be an addition and complementary to the existing NComputing product line.
