Microsoft and NComputing to collaborate on multiuser computing
Microsoft today announced that it has partnered with NComputing under which the latter will develop the next generation of its hardware and vSpace software products to take advantage of current and future Microsoft Windows Server operating systems for multiuser computing, such as the forthcoming Windows MultiPoint Server 2010.
Over the past few years, multiuser computing has emerged — particularly in educational institutions — as a way to reduce computer costs and increase worldwide access to technology. Simply put, multiuser computing taps into a computer’s excess capability to enable a single host computer to support multiple users simultaneously.
And that is a market Microsoft wants to tap.
The collaboration is aimed at helping educational institutions take full advantage of multiuser computing on the Windows Server platform.
