Company Profile

Winner of the Wall Street Journal's Technology Innovation Award, NComputing, Inc. was founded with the goal of making desktop computing affordable for everyone. Headquartered in Redwood City, CA, the company's patented technology lowers desktop computing costs, improves manageability, and reduces both energy consumption and e-waste.

NComputing is run by a highly experienced and innovative management team with deep roots in the computer hardware and software industry. NComputing management has led teams at companies like eMachines, GE, AMD, Sun, McKinsey, Spansion and Wyse.

The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today's computers are so powerful that only a small fraction of their capacity is required for the vast majority of applications. NComputing taps this unused capacity by enabling up to 30 simultaneous users to run their own applications (all from the same computer), for as little as US$70 per additional user. With NComputing, customers get the most out of their investment in PCs and servers.

Product details

NComputing's breakthrough desktop virtualisation technology is available in two product families: the NComputing X-series and the NComputing L-series. Both product lines enable standard PCs and servers to share their resources for no-compromise computing at unprecedented low prices.

The NComputing X-series

The X-series supports up to eleven simultaneous users on a single shared PC. An X-series kit includes the vSpace virtualisation software, a PCI card, and three or five access devices. Two X-series kits can be installed into one PC, for eleven total users. The X-series provides a rich PC experience that includes full-screen, full-motion video.

The NComputing L-series

The L-series connects to the shared computer via standard Ethernet networks. Up to 30 users can connect to a standard PC or server. Up to 200 users can connect to a mid-range server.

Achievements/usp

Less than 24 months after commercialising its revolutionary technology, over 2 million NComputing seats have been sold worldwide.

  • Over 40,000 organisations in 140 countries use NComputing every day;

  • NComputing has already captured approximately 7% of the US K-12 educational computing market;

  • A typical PC consumes 110 watts of electricity. NComputing devices consume from 1 to 5 watts. If the NComputing installed base of 2,000,000 seats were regular PCs, they would consume 350 million watts of power (versus less than 63 million watts for NComputing devices);

  • In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, NComputing has been installed in 5,000 schools and provides computer literacy training to over 1.8 million students every day;

  • NComputing was awarded the prestigious Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award for the most innovative new solution in computing systems. NComputing has also received awards from Gartner, Deloitte, CeBit, Frost & Sullivan, the Silicon Valley Tech Museum, CES, and many others.

Based on the principle of learning by doing, this innovative programme offers students a unique opportunity to learn as well as improve their spoken and written ability in English. The E-Blocks system consists of a software package, a sensory panel with 15 pockets, plastic blocks with various colours, letters, shapes imprinted on them, flash cards and reproducible activities. With the help of visual and auditory stimuli, children are introduced to letters, words, sentences and paragraphs. They then make a response based on the learning activity selected by the instructor.  Responses are made by inserting blocks into the pockets of the sensory panel. The programme evaluates students’ performance and provides immediate feedback. A detailed report is then generated, which includes numeric scores and identification of areas in which improvement is needed.

E-Blocks has been modeled on scientific knowledge in the fields of linguistics and cognitive science. It is used in numerous countries around the world and has won several awards, including the World Summit Award (WSA) in 2005 from the United Nations for the best e-learning solution in education.

2) Virtual 3D Interactive Models (Interactive 3D content for Interactive White Boards)

This innovative programme makes it possible for students to acquire scientific concepts in Geography, Biology, and Chemistry by interacting with realistic 3D images on the computer screen.  It provides total control over what teachers and learners are able to do with these models.  They can zoom in on any part of the displayed image, manipulate it as they wish, and explore it from any angle.  The programme thus makes even the most challenging scientific concepts easy to acquire. They are flexible and adaptable to any curriculum or syllabus.

The programme has won numerous accolades, including the Barcelona’s Innova and Worlddidac 2006 Award.

About Eureka Virtual laboratories and 3D stereoscopy

Teaching Biology, Chemistry & Physics is expensive for an institution in terms of setting up infrastructure & maintenance of laboratory facilities. There stands a limit to the equipment that can be set up & maintained in a functional condition. Also in subjects like Chemistry safety constraints demands students to be in supervision while handling dangerous chemicals. A sum of all these reasons causes scenarios where students prepare only practical explanations in their notes rather than learning and visualising them in actual at respective laboratories.

Physics – All equipment mentioned in the text book are fully illustrated as working models.

Chemistry – All experiments are illustrated in real time using virtual equipments and chemicals.

Biology – All parts of human/ animal/plants mentioned in the text book are magnified many fold, fully illustrated & working principles explained.

    Joint Secretary,
    Department of School Education and Literacy,
    Ministry of Human Resource Development
    Government of India


    The Indian education sector needs to rise to the occasion to cater to the requirements of the knowledge society of the twenty-first century. Making school curriculum relevant and appealing for the students, dealing with the problem of access in remote areas and for the socio-economically backward sections, bringing about gender equality and reducing drop-out rates are critical issues that are required to be addressed through innovative ideas and persistent efforts. The Eleventh Five Year Plan of the government reflects this commitment to provide quality education. While the newly enacted legislation on the Right to Education will universalize elementary education, there are ambitious plans to enhance the enrolment ratios in the secondary and higher education stages while ensuring improvement of quality. The role of technology is crucial to achieve this.

    The government's efforts in leveraging  technology is not restricted to equipping computers or providing connectivity in educational institutions or classrooms, but also include provision of required training to all teachers to enable effective integration of ICT in the teaching learning process, and ensuring availability of quality e-content. ICT-enabled learning is especially relevant for the children with special needs studying in an inclusive environment. Incorporating innovative technologies in the class room is expected to bring about positive changes in the education system and help in reaching the global competitive standards. 

    I congratulate digitalLEARNING for their effort in compiling the Education Resource Guide and hope that this will help the users in the education sector to find technology solutions for their curriculum needs from among a range of choices, and will fulfill the need of the community of practitioners in the teaching and learning community.

    ICT in Education: Resource Guide 2009-2010

    Ravi Gupta

    Editor
    Ravi.Gupta@csdms.in

    The collective efforts of the technological community have brought forth innovations which can have a significant and everlasting effect on the education scene in India. The myriad resources that are available and still being churned out have positioned the country’s educational sector on par with global technological standards. While increase in the number of educational services have meant that the resources exist, concerted efforts in bringing them together into one channel still needs to be addressed.

    The academic community of today is flooded with a maze of information. However, the end users are not able to make adequate use of the vast resource base since these are scattered and quite often not available when they are most needed.  Exciting new developments have left the community in want of a guide to direct them through the jumble and provide them with a one-stop-solution to their requirements. The need of the hour is to untangle  and simplify the massive maze  and bring to the users a demystified version of the great technology and education mammoth.

    With the dawn of the digital age, we bring our readers and other end users with a resource that will serve the very purpose that these technologies have been seeking to address – reaching out to the education community.

    The Information and Communication Technology Resource Guide 2009-10 is our first attempt to bring a handy Users Guide for all their requirements in technology and education.  From administrative management solutions to 3D content modules for interactive classroom needs, the Resource Guide breaks the contact and information barriers, and takes our readers through a wide array of resources and services.

    If you’ve been on a wild goose chase, digitalLEARNING provides you a collation of various service providers in the field of Information and Communication Technology in Education.

    With this resource guide, we kick start our endeavour of making an assortment of ready to use education database for all major regions in India. We begin the process of scanning through the resources available in different states, thereby bringing ICT closer to the teeming population in smaller towns and metros, offering them the familiarity of education technology.

    The Resource Guide celebrates the efforts, the success and the innovations of the educational entrepreneurs in India and brings a compilation for the benefit of the diverse user groups
