IDC's MarketScape is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor's success in the client virtualization marketplace and help anticipate the vendor's ascendancy. IDC assesses the capability and business strategy of several desktop virtualization vendors. This evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing desktop virtualization solutions, during both the short and the long term.

NComputing was recognized as a "Major Player" in this IDC MarketScape largely due to the company's ability to provide a powerful yet simplified end-to-end virtual desktop solution at a low cost, which has bred success in the midmarket and small enterprise, especially with education customers and in emerging regions. With impressive market growth and a continued commitment to innovation, NComputing is accelerating the adoption of desktop virtualization by providing simplicity and performance at a lower cost than other offerings.
