X550 desktop virtualization kit. Eleven users on one PC? Absolutely—today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of people use only a small fraction of their available computing power. The X550 taps the unused capacity so that up to eleven users can simultaneously share a single PC. Each user gets their own virtual workspace (applications, settings, files, and preferences), but at a fraction of what it would cost with individual computers. So even though eleven people share a single system, they each get their own rich PC experience. Easy to install. Each X550 kit contains the powerful, award-winning vSpace desktop virtualization software, a PCI card, and five XD2 access devices. Setup is easy: just install the full-height PCI card and virtualization software on the shared PC. Then connect the access devices to the PCI card with standard cables. Finally, connect each user’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to their access device. That’s all – it’s as simple as an appliance. Now, six users can enjoy their own independent virtual desktops (one on the shared PC and five on access devices). Add a second X550 kit and eleven users can simultaneously share a single PC.
