  3. According to Gartner “In a perfect world, IT organizations wouldn't care about locking down the PC; they would only care about the services they provide. The reality is that standardization (through lockdown techniques) must be maintained to provide effective desktop services and keep security risk at an acceptable level.” Result: 80%-90% of PC’s are unlocked today • IT cannot provide a desktop SLA (uptime, availability, recovery) © 2010 Virtual Computer Inc. – Company Confidential

  10. Provisioning and Patching: One-to-many image with roll-back • User data backup & restore: Profiles, preferences, and settings • Better security: Trusted boot, full disk encryption, and more • Policy enforcement: USB filtering, expiration, lockout, remote kill • Integrated Help Desk: Connect to a VM or to Hypervisor layer • NxTop Connect: Built-in Connectivity for VDI and Cloud Computing © 2010 Virtual Computer Inc. – Company Confidential

  11. Engine Architecture • Bare Metal Hypervisor (Type-1) • Fully virtualized platform, no pass-thru • Supports new and old Intel and AMD based hardware • Supports Windows and Linux virtual machines • NxTop Connect integrated into NxTop Engine • Citrix Ready Services Domain • Enabled as an option from NxTop Center Center WAN/LAN Virtual Machine #N Virtual Machine #1 11 User Data Engine User Data Applications Applications Windows 7 Management and Control Domain (Dom0) NxTop ConnectServices Domain (DomS) Win XP Virtual HW … Virtual HW Hypervisor (Open Source) Hardware © 2010 Virtual Computer Inc. – Company Confidential
