The fat PC might not be dead, but that isn’t stopping NComputing from sculpting its product line around the reality that the average desktop packs more processing muscle than users need, or use. As such, NComputing’s technology enables as many as 30 users to simultaneously run virtualized Windows or Linux desktop sessions from a single standard PC, Ted Samson reports. What’s more, Samson declares such evolutions of the thin client to be green alternatives to desktops. “Time will tell, of course, whether more large companies will be game to trade in some or all of their high-end PCs for thin clients, whether from NComputing, Wyse, or any other vendor,” Samson writes in NComputing puts excess PC Power to good use. With IDC predicting 20 percent growth in thin clients, that outlook is good right about now. Technology Industry
