PMC Endpoint Manager: Central management & express deployment
RX540/580 devices are easy to configure using PMC Endpoint Manager software. Remotely manage devices over local and wide-area networks, including locations behind firewalls and NAT routers, through an easy-to-use web-based user interface. Define multiple device profile configurations, push to individual or grouped devices, and schedule firmware updates. A dashboard overview and detailed event log provide valuable information about your deployment. Easy to use for smaller organizations, yet powerful enough to manage large cross-organizational deployments across multiple geographic locations.
Next-Level Endpoint Security
By implementing NComputing’s solutions, organizations can enhance endpoint security, safeguard sensitive data, reduce costs, and streamline management. These measures cover the entire endpoint security spectrum, from device boot to locked-down operating systems, secure communications, data leakage prevention, and centralized management.
Read the NComputing security whitepaper to learn how our endpoint solution enhances next-level endpoint security.
Microsoft Teams Optimization
Audio and video streams in Microsoft Teams are offloaded from the Citrix, Microsoft AVD, Windows 365, and RDS sessions, enabling them to be processed locally on the client device. Deliver clear, crisp high-definition audio-video conferencing. Users can seamlessly participate in audio-video or audio-only calls to and from other users and other standards-based desktop video and conference room systems.
Supercharge video streaming - No expensive GPUs required
vCAST Streaming delivers direct streaming of content to our endpoint devices, reducing the overall server-side CPU usage for web videos like YouTube and Vimeo, and local media content without the need for expensive GPUs. By conserving server-side hardware resources and bandwidth, more concurrent user sessions can run while ensuring the same high quality HD video experience.
While vCAST Streaming is native to vSpace Pro Enterprise, the features can be enabled on Microsoft RDS deployments by installing our SuperRDP server pack, available through your NComputing reseller (SKU: SuperRDP-PREM-VC-P).
Local Browser and Progressive Web Application
Direct access to the web via a localized Chromium browser eliminates any virtualization lag. Microsoft Teams PWA benefits from direct audio/video relay, eliminating common concerns of web conferencing through virtual platforms. LEAF OS controls these apps’ availability and deployment method, with a Guest Mode option for Kiosk use.
BROAD USB PERIPHERAL SUPPORT
The RX540 and RX580 enable seamless redirection of USB peripheral devices, including mass storage, printers, scanners, smart card readers, headsets, speakers, webcams, COM ports, and 3D mice, in addition to standard keyboards and mice. Network-connected printers can also be redirected to desktop virtualization sessions.
They also offer enhanced single-touch and multi-touch screen support with a built-in calibration tool for native VDI connections.
Flexible deployment through ethernet or Wi-Fi connections
The RX540 and RX580 feature built-in 10/100/1000 Ethernet and dual-band 2.4/5GHz WiFi (802.11 b/g/n/ac), supporting both Personal and Enterprise 802.1x security authentication. This flexibility allows organizations to deploy the RX540 and RX580 anywhere with Wi-Fi access, eliminating the need for wired infrastructure while still delivering a seamless desktop experience.
Powered by LEAF OS
LEAF OS is our small. Linux-based operating system designed specifically for secure, high-performance access to virtual desktops and cloud workspaces. Flexible in its deployment, LEAF OS enables user access to multiple virtual desktop platforms from thin clients and personal computers. Learn more about LEAF OS.
