$INFO TECHNOLOGY So what is the latest in computers and technology? We at BANJAN’S IT & NHPS Computer Services would like to ask you a couple of question’s before we answer this question. Do you have a network of more than 2 computers? Do you want to save money on the ongoing purchase cost of 2 or more computer’s as well as save money on energy/power and heating costs? If you have answered YES, to these two questions we have the solution for you. The latest in computer technology of 2 or more computers on a network scenario is NComputing. Using NComputing you will “Maximum your COMPUTING and Minimise your COST’S.” Todays PC’s are so powerful that the vast majority of applications only use a small fraction of the computers capacity. NComputing's virtualization software and hardware tap this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by many user’s. Each user connects to the shared PC through a small NComputing access device. The access device has no CPU, memory, or moving part’s—so it is rugged, durable, and easy to deploy and maintain.
