VMworld 2010 Copenhagen – Unpacking the gadgets – The nComputing L300

So I just got back from the VMworld in Copenhagen and it’s time to start unpacking the gadgets. The first gadget comes from the nice people over at nComputing who gave me an L300 for free. In return I had to write a blog article. Gadget number two is also demoed, as I’m wearing a cool official orange VMware 2010 LAB STAFF shirt :-)

With the L300, watching DVD-quality video on up to a 1920x1080 display comes standard for most common media formats. The game-changing access device comes packaged in a sleek low-power package that can be easily mounted on a monitor or secured to a desk. Powered by a new NComputing Numo System on a Chip (SoC), the L300 uses patent-pending hardware technology to decode and scale multimedia locally, eliminating network strain. The L300 access device costs less any other thin- or zero-client options and a quarter of the cost of desktop PCs. In combination with the NComputing vSpace software, it enables VDI solutions at one-third the price of traditional offerings.
