Flatscreen monitors with virtualization technology

Jul 1, 2009 08:59

We have been hearing a lot about virtualization lately. Server and storage virtualization are just two of the most common virtualization technology being implemented by the enterprise. You can also hear companies such as Intel, Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Dell, Asus, Samsung, and others embedding virtualization into their product offerings all for a couple of reasons--efficiency and cost savings.

But wait till you hear this. LG Electronics recently announced that the company will be releasing its SmartVine N-series liquid crystal display monitors that come with embedded "virtualization" technology from US-based NComputing Inc. This would allow users to connect a keyboard and mouse directly to the monitor.

The new LG monitor would allow as many as 11 users to share a single PC through virtualization. The monitor will work with both Windows and Linux computers, but can also be used as traditional monitors.

This new technology will be great to schools, call centers, or to offices that needs to equip their employees with machines for simple word processing and other simple office works.

In as far as savings are concerned, NComputing said that by using LG's monitors, customers can lower their computer hardware costs by as much as 60 percent, maintenance costs by 70 percent, and electricity costs by 90 percent.

The LG SmartVine N-series liquid crystal display monitors will be available in 15-, 17- and 19-inch models.

I do hope this will soon be available here in the Philippines as this will definitely be a big help to our public schools that need computers.

God bless us all!
