• Virtual PCs are managed by master image and differential data to reduce storage space requirements.

• Additional virtual PCs can be created quickly by simply modifying the differential data.

• Patches and applications applied to master images are precisely reflected to linked virtual PCs.

• Multiple versions of master virtual PCs are supported to enable efficient and flexible management.

While delivering the full user-experience of traditional PCs, performance improves. Virtualized PCs which require additional resources for high demand workloads automatically gain access to unused server capacity.

Desktop virtualization to unleash your workforce and deliver end-to-end innovation

The Virtual PC Center desktop virtualization solution dedicates a virtual PC to each user, complete with their current desktop applications and

settings. Virtual PCs reside on servers while thin clients have no storage and simply provide the user-interface. This allows users to securely

access their working environment from any available terminal whenever, wherever needed.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, or VDI, has become a popular technology because it is a secure IT foundation while at the same time it provides

complete capabilities for innovative work styles including mobile and tele-working. In addition to avoiding security risks and providing resilience

against disasters and pandemics, VDIs eliminate the burden of maintaining distributed PCs and achieve signi�cant power savings to make

businesses more cost ef�cient and green. Virtual PC Center, an end-to-end desktop virtualization solution from NEC, makes progressive working

styles and trustworthy business continuity plans a reality.

Simplify desktop complexities in the datacenter

Migrate your traditional PCs—with individual settings and the familiar look and feel—to a centrally managed, fundamentally ef�cient IT system. From deployment to daily use and management, every aspect of the Virtual PC Center desktop virtualization solution is lean, convenient, and remarkably productive.

Risk of data lossCorporate data is compromised as a result of the loss or theft of PCs.

Costly operational managementApplication software, antivirus software, and security patches must be installed

on each PC.

No PC, no workUsers and work are limited to speci�c PCs because data and environmental

settings are unique to each PC.

Enhanced data securityAll data is securely stored on a server to reduce the risk of data loss by end-users.

Ef�cient centralized managementInstallation of software and patches is performed in batch on the server by a single administrator.

Get connected anywhereUsers can access their own desktop environment from any available client. Work can be continued at alternative locations during pandemics and disasters.

Resources are allocated according to each user’s performance requirements, enabling users to complete projects seamlessly.

With VPCC, users can enjoy high-speed video playback and video streaming which is a prerequisite to take advantage of broadband environments. NEC's multimedia software enables video processing on the client side for flawless video playback.

If the server load increases, virtual PCs are automatically moved to a server with more free resources to optimize loads across servers.

Effective use of server resources

Smooth video processing

When away from the office, in-house servers which host the virtual PCs can be securely accessed via VPN. This allows users to call up their own PC environment and work without risk from any terminal at any hour. VPCC enables secure telecommuting from home or branch offices as well as mobile or temporary environments, enhancing your company’s flexibility and business continuity capabilities.

Virtualization infrastructure

VPCC autonomously and dynamically reallocates and consolidates virtual PCs to optimize physical servers. Power consumption is minimized by shutting down idle servers during low load periods such as night hours and holidays, and starting them up again at the beginning of the day or whenever access to virtual PCs increases. As a result, VPCC delivers energy savings as much as 43% over traditional PC systems.

Green IT—significant energy savings

* Comparison based on annual operating condition of 8 hours/day, 247 business days/year

End-to-end efficiency—from deployment to daily use and management

Virtualized PCs and servers accommodating them are efficiently controlled through centralized management via an integrated Web console. Capabilities include autonomous operation in conjunction with hardware monitoring, session management, virtualized PC power supply control, and simplified software distribution.
