Ncomputing Raises $8M For Multi-user Terminal
![]()
NComputing out of Orange, CA has raised $8M in Series A funding from BA Venture Partners thanks to an impressive showing at the recent Demo event, an pedigreed founder and a sweet product.
Stephen Dukker, former CEO of eMachines is the founder of NComputing. His simple concept is that the standard multi desktop setting is cost wasteful. Ncomputing's answer is to combine an $11 chip and two PCI cards to a standard white-box PC, enabling it to serve up the Windows desktop and other applications, including video, to seven monitors. So for the price of a $490 server, the company delivers seven computing desktops.
So far, 80% of NComputing's sales have been in developing countries and to schools in rural parts of the United States, Dukker says.
The idea is similar to what made Citrix Systems great, serving the Windows client from a central machine. But nMachines thinks it can do for small environments what Citrix did for the enterprise.
