LG and Ncomputing Join Forces

If you are into maximizing your existing hardware, then Ncomputing may be the right product for you.  If you are into maximizing your hardware and integrating an additional workstations into the LCD monitors, then the LG Smartvine lineup may be for you.

Ncomputing has recently been deployed in several areas of Cedarburg School District. A full 32 seat computer lab has been setup using only 8 PCs and the X350 model Ncomputing product. 6 workstations can be added to a classroom environment by using only 1 Host machine. If you are not famaliar with Ncomputing, “NComputing is the fastest growing provider of virtual desktops in the world and its technology is based on a simple fact: today’s computers are so powerful that the vast majority of applications use only a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. NComputing technology enables a single PC or server to be virtualized so that many users can tap the unused capacity and share it as if each person had their own computer.”

This technology has now been integrated into the LG SmartVine N-Series Monitors. LG Electronics is embedding NComputing virtualization circuitry inside the new SmartVine N-series monitors. Users connect their keyboards and mice directly to the monitor, which then connects to the host PC via a standard cable. An NComputing X550 PCI Card Kit with vSpace software enables the host PC to connect to five additional monitors. With two kits, a total of 11 users can share one PC.

In the United States, the LG SmartVine N-series line will include 17 and 19-inch* class monitors (models N1742L-BF and N1941W-PF) covering both standard and widescreen resolutions. A 16-inch* class model will also be available in other countries. All LG SmartVine N-series monitors can also be used as traditional monitors that connect through VGA for ultimate flexibility. These monitors will be marketed worldwide by LG beginning this month.
