ESIC to Deploy 31,000 Virtual Desktops


Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), with the help of Wipro, will deploy NComputing’s virtual desktop solution in its offices and clinics across the country

 NC News Network, November 16, 2009, 1230 hrs

Desktop Virtualization solution provider NComputing recently announced it has won a contract with the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) for a countrywide deployment of its virtual desktop solution across ESIC’s offices and clinics. According to the contract, NComputing along with Wipro, will deploy 31,000 thin-client workstations running its vSpace virtualization software, across all ESIC offices and clinics.


 

ESIC is an Indian Government Chartered insurance and healthcare organization that delivers social security benefits to employed individuals and their families by providing health insurance and medical facilities through over 2,200 facilities across India. The organization opted for desktop virtualization as a part of its e-governance initiative named 'Project Panchdeep’, which is aimed at streamlining the insurance and healthcare services that ESIC provides to employers, employees, and state and central government workers. 

 

“We are honored that NComputing has been selected for this strategic initiative as it will vastly improve healthcare for the 12 million beneficiaries by speeding insurance and medical services,” said Stephen Dukker, chairman and CEO of NComputing.

 

The solution includes NComputing’s desktop virtualization software, vSpace that is designed to create “virtual” sessions on a PC or a server, and thin-client devices that connect the user’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the shared computer. For the project, ESIC has chosen to deploy NComputing’s L130 virtual desktops. Over 31,000 of these virtual desktops will connect to Wipro desktop PCs, which will then connect to a cloud computing environment at ESIC’s data centers.

 

NComputing claims that the thin clients are one of the most energy efficient desktop computing solutions available with an electricity consumption of only 5 watts.
