NxTop delivers secure, controlled desktops to any PC in the form of a virtual desktop or a virtual laptop, greatly reducing the cost and complexity of desktop management and patch management while improving desktop environment security. NxTop provides numerous advantages over traditional VDI solutions.
NxTop consists of two components: the NxTop Engine and the NxTop Center
NxTop Center
Virtual Computer's NxTop Center is a web-based system used to control your NxTop Engines and related management functions, such as:
- Provisioning and Patching: One single image goes out to all
- User Data Backup and Restore, including profiles and preferences
- Re-provisioning: Reconstructing a user's PC without access to the physical desktop or laptop
- Application Delivery: Using virtualized applications within a NxTop Engine
- Security, including trusted boot, full disk encryption and anti-virus
- Policy Engine: Detailed control of hardware, operating systems, applications and user data
NxTop Engine
The NxTop Engine is a bare-metal, client hypervisor and remote management layer that creates a stateless environment for corporate laptops and desktops. This is done by isolating the four main components of a PC, which are typically intertwined:
- Hardware
- Operating Systems
- Applications
- User Data
NxTop untangles PC management by:
- Isolating components to allow independent management
- Removing the need for agents
- Implementing a single policy engine
Easier, More Secure PC Management
Since Virtual Computer's NxTop is centrally managed and access, permission and rights can be changed on the management server though a web interface, your risk of losing data from a hardware loss or compromise is significantly diminished. In the event of a security issue, simply lock the affected virtual laptop or virtual desktop and assign the user a new NxTop.
Migrations, patch management, software updates and other normally time-consuming administration tasks are dramatically accelerated with NxTop's efficient, scalable and centralized deployment approach. View the NxTop feature list
You would expect that a system designed for efficient virtual PC management would skimp on the end-user experience. That's not the case with NxTop. Virtual Computer has taken the time to give end-users a comfortable experience. That means familiar operating systems, familiar programs and the ability to customize their NxTop as they would any desktop or laptop.
Quite simply, NxTop offers system reliability and corporate standardization without any of the inconveniences seen in a "locked down" PC or virtual computer offered by other solutions. Register with Virtual Computer to be a part of the NxTop Beta
