The Ministry of Education in Macedonia deployed over 200,000 vSpace seats in primary schools.
This is the proprietary protocol that connects the host to the access device. UXP is optimized for performance over local area networks (LAN). It compresses the graphical data sent from the host and transmits keyboard and mouse inputs back. Unlike generic protocols like RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), UXP is tuned specifically for the NComputing hardware ecosystem, often providing a snappier user experience with lower bandwidth consumption. ncomputing vspace
: The engine that carves up a host system’s resources (CPU, RAM, and storage) into multiple independent user workspaces. The Ministry of Education in Macedonia deployed over
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, providing high-performance computing to every employee or student can be an expensive logistical nightmare. offers a powerful solution by rethinking how we use hardware. Instead of buying a full PC for every person, vSpace allows multiple users to share the untapped power of a single computer simultaneously. It compresses the graphical data sent from the

A rural school district recycled old monitors, bought NComputing L300 devices ($70 each), and ran 30 student seats off three refurbished Dell OptiPlex hosts. Total cost: less than 3 new laptops. Students couldn’t tell the difference.
