Nec Türkiyede Nec Türkiyede COSTS HAVE DIMINISHED TO MINIMUM with NEC Virtual PC Center !..   With its Virtual PC Center launched in February 2008, NEC Computers the Turkey distributor of which is Özel Information Technologies A.Ş., has been able to restrain the costs and confusion of information technologies which had gone out of control with the increasing number of users. Virtual PC Center (VPCC) is based completely on “Virtualization” technology and uses VMWare software. The logic behind Virtual PC Center is the usage of the resources of the server (CPU,RAM and Hard Disk) while the NEC US-110 Thin Clients developed by Nec Computers are connected to the virtual PC’s created on the Server. The product is also outstanding with its VoIP ve Video Streaming feature which is not found in similar products. Thanks to this feature a box with the size of an external modem on your desk which can be mounted at the back of the monitor can become a computer, a telephone and an equipment to process uninterrupted images. It even allows the telephone number to be moved to wherever the location of the system login is. This is why the Virtual PC Center is advertised with the catch-phrase “My desk, my line, always everywhere” in the sector. The Product Manager of Özel Technologies, Bülent Kuğu, stated that enterprises that convert their IT architechture to Virtual PC Center save by 40% in three years Cost of Ownership because there is no need to upgrade the hardware, no need for maintenance as there are no active elements such as a hard disk, optical drive or fan and the power consumption is 10% of standard computers. Bülent Kuğu also mentioned the subject of performance saying that establishments can easily meet their performance needs with only small investments to servers and carry their IT structure to the future. He added that with the system management software named “Sigma System Center” belonging to NEC Computers, they can control and manage all of their IT structure easily.
