NComputing Takes Leadership Position in Desktop Virtualization in Asia Pacific

Ranked #1 in Q2 2010 Enterprise Client Devices With 50.2% QoQ Growth

REDWOOD CITY, California, November 9, 2010/PRNewswire/ --     NComputing, a global leader in desktop virtualization, today announced a
major milestone and endorsement of its strategy to transform legacy PC
economics and infrastructure. The company has been ranked #1 in enterprise
client device shipments in Asia Pacific in a newly published report by IDC.
IDC's Q2 2010 Worldwide Enterprise Client Devices Tracker ranked the company
#1 in Asia Pacific shipments at 25.2% share and fastest quarter on quarter
growth at 50.2% (when combining the thin client and terminal client
categories).

    Desktop virtualization represents the most disruptive change in the
economics of IT since the PC. NComputing is leading the transformation and
making significant market traction in Asia Pacific and emerging markets which
have been the fastest early adopters of desktop virtualization deployment.
The low cost of entry and significant on-going cost savings of NComputing
solutions, including 75% lower maintenance and 90% lower energy costs, are
proving hugely advantageous in both education and public sector
organizations. Meanwhile, the company's L300 virtual desktop is being rapidly
adopted in commercial enterprises as a result of features including
full-motion multi-media playback and PC like performance, fast and simple
deployment, and powerful management tools

    In less than three years, NComputing has deployed over 350,000 virtual
desktops in the Indian subcontinent and over 100,000 in ASEAN region. The
company is involved in some of the world's largest enterprise desktop
virtualization initiatives including Employee State Insurance Corporation
(ESIC), India, which is deploying over 31,000 NComputing Virtual Desktops
across 2,200 locations in support of the Indian Government's effort to
deliver insurance and healthcare benefits to over 20 million employees.

    NComputing is the de-facto standard for education in the majority of
Indian states like Andhra Pradesh where 50,000 NComputing virtual desktops
are deployed in 5000 schools to benefit 1.8 million children. The company
recently announced success with Indian state education ministries of Punjab,
Rajasthan and Bihar. NComputing technology has also been implemented by The
Ministry of Education, Government of Punjab, Pakistan which recently deployed
over 64,000 of the company's virtual desktop devices in 4286 schools,
benefitting 3.4 million students.

    Commented NComputing CEO, Stephen Dukker, "To date, many of the large
global PC and chip manufacturers have been barriers to the mainstream
adoption of desktop virtualization because of their economic interest and
legacy investment in the old 'PC per desktop' centric IT infrastructure by
maintaining artificially high prices. NComputing's dramatic success
demonstrates the truly disruptive economics of virtual desktops when
naturally priced; reducing all client related costs by 50% or more compared
to traditional PCs. We are putting the 'old guard' on notice that desktop
virtualization is ready to go mainstream. NComputing has and will continue to
lead in this space and deliver on our promise of transforming the economics
of computing."
