NComputing Background
 Our Vision:
Expand Access & Dramatically Lower
Computing Costs
Through Multi-User Computing
 Our Solution:
Enables a single PC to be used by multiple users at once:
 It is simple to create, low cost, easy to maintain, eco friendly and will dramatically lower computing costs
 Our Success:
We are the fastest growing “Multi-User Computing” company in the world with over three hundred thousand units deployed in over 80 countries

Siam Network and Computer founded in 1999 with professional team for network implement in corporate and government
2004 SNC was a partnership with Ncomputing to distribute terminal unit computing in NComputing brand
SNC Best Performance Award
2005 from NComputing

What is “Multi User Computing”?
NComputing is a terminal unit that does not require CPU , harddrive, or CD-Rom. With the exclusive UTMA (Ultra Thin Multi-
Access) technology, User have the ability to expand PC up to 10 computer terminals costs less than a traditional PC.

The Idea
Share excess computing resource and redistribute
Capacity of the average CPU is under-utilized (using less than 10%!)
Turn 1 PC to 30 Virtual PCs
< CPU meter >
