The hottest trend in computing is desktop virtualization and California-based NComputing continues to set the standard for the rest of the industry. NComputing, which has already sold more virtual desktops than VMware, today launched the industry’s first USB-connected virtual desktop (model U170) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
The revolutionary USB virtual desktop is based on the simple fact that today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of people only use a small fraction of their PC processor’s capacity. The U170 thin client taps this unused resource so that a computer can be simultaneously shared by many users.
The U170 plugs into a standard PC’s USB port, and with vSpace (NComputing’s virtualization software, which is included) enables another user to share that PC.
