Product overview

The NComputing U170 kit enables users to dramatically cut computing costs by sharing the untapped power of existing computers. The U170 access device and NComputing vSpace software work together to efficiently harness excess computing capacity and enable multiple users to share a single computer. And each user gets the full performance and capability of a PC, including multimedia and video. Best of all, IT staff and end users do not need special training because the solution is easy to setup and is compatible with standard PC software.

Connect one user per kit or a total of 10 users per host machine

With the NComputing U170, each user still has a standard monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers (sold separately). However, instead of connecting directly to the PC, these peripherals connect to the U170 access device on their desk. These very small, solid-state devices connect with USB cables and optional USB 2.0 hubs to the shared PC. The distance between the access device and the shared computer can be a maximum of 20 meters (66 feet) following standard USB 2.0 specifications on cables and hubs. The U170 can also be easily attached and secured to the back of a display with the built-in VESA mount option.

The NComputing vSpace desktop virtualization software (included) divides the PC’s resources into independent virtual workspaces that give each user their own full PC experience. vSpace simplifies configuration by automatically assigning the keyboard, mouse, audio and any USB devices attached to each workstation. There is even an auto-login feature that can be set to automatically login a user making the U170 a great product for kiosks, schools, kids, and digital signage applications.
