 NComputing - a US firm founded in 2003 - is taking an innovative approach to bridging the digital divide worldwide. They have re-purposed how the ‘PC’ is used and developed a solution that is now sold in over 70 countries; 90% of that is in education and the developing world. The solution is sold for just £35 per user and is used in schools across the US, Thailand, Turkey, the Phillipines, India and others.
NComputing has been reviving the '90s concept of thin-client and taken its own twist on the approach with a device that could give PC access to the masses. The company has developed an ‘access terminal’ [hardware and software] that allows any low-cost Windows or Linux desktop PC to be shared simultaneously with over 30 users, who still get to enjoy a full desktop PC experience.
By harnessing the untapped power of existing PCs, thousands of schools and businesses all over the world have reduced their computing costs tenfold as well as minimising their environmental impact.
Stephen Dukker, chairman and ceo for NComputing and Martin Booth, director business development NComputing, are in the UK to discuss NComputing’s plans for the UK and Europe and how this re-think on the humble ‘PC’ is opening up new opportunities for many.
