Agreement Broadens Line of NCD ThinSTAR Windows-Based Terminals
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 1998--Network Computing Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:NCDI -
news), a leading manufacturer of thin client desktop hardware and server software, today announced it will broaden its NCD
ThinSTAR Windows-based terminals to include support for Citrix's new ICA software for Microsoft's embedded Windows
CE operating system.
NCD ThinSTAR thin clients access Windows-based applications running on Citrix WinFrame(R) or upcoming
MetaFrame(TM) thin-client/server software in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Terminal Server.
With the addition of Citrix's ICA Client for Windows CE, NCD customers may choose Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol

through centralized application deployment and management, broadened application access, bandwidth-independent
performance and deliver robust application security.
''NCD announced an ICA client for NCD Explora thin clients in September 1997. Since that time, we have seen the demand
for ICA support accelerate,'' stated Ka Wai Leung, Director of Thin Client Product Marketing for NCD. ''The NCD
ThinSTAR Windows-based Terminal is targeted specifically at Windows NT application users, and they have stated that
availability of RDP and ICA support are important options.''
''For nearly three years, NCD has been a key OEM partner of Citrix WinFrame thin-client/server software,'' said David
Weiss, director of product management for Citrix. ''NCD's thin client devices and Citrix's thin-client/server software bring
organizations manageable, reliable and high-performance access to business-critical applications. Citrix looks forward to
working with NCD in promoting the benefits of thin-client/server computing across NCD's broadened Windows-based
terminal product line.'' |
