PROJECT OVERVIEW

Objectives
01 • Establish a new computer lab for 40 users.
• Optimize costs, maintenance, and energy
efficiency.

Proposed Solution
02 • Implement a server-based architecture
with 40 thin clients using NComputing
RX300+ devices.
What is
N- Computing?
NComputing is a desktop virtualization technology
that allows multiple users to share a single
computing resource (server).

How it Works?
• Users connect to a central server through
NComputing RX300+ thin clients.
• The server handles all processing, and thin
clients serve as interface devices.
BENEFITS OF USING N-COMPUTING RX300+

• Lower upfront hardware costs: Each RX300+


• Each RX300+ device consumes just 5W of
device costs lesser than Laptop/Desktop.
power.
• Reduced need for frequent upgrades

• Centralized management on the Dell


• Thin clients are compact and require
PowerEdge T550 Server
less spaces
• Easier software updates and troubleshooting.
SERVER MODEL :DELL POWEREDGE T550

KEY SPECIFICATION
Processor: Xeon Silver 4314 16C 135W-2.4GHz-

01 N-Computing RX300+

• 40 units @ 5W each = 200W total


• Annual Energy Consumption: 200W x 8 hours/day x
ENERGY COST ANALYSIS 365 days/year = 584 kWh

02 Dell PowerEdge T550 Server


• Average Consumption: 800W
• Annual Energy Consumption: 800W x 8 hours/day x
365 days/year = 2,336 kWh

03
• 40 Computers @ 200W each = 8,000W total
• Annual Energy Consumption: 8,000W x 8 hours/day x
365 days/year = 23,360 kWh
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
COMPARISON
• Total Energy Consumption for 40 Devices: • Total Consumption for 40 Computers:
200W 8,000W
• Server Consumption: 800W • Total Annual Energy Cost:* ₹151,840
• Total Annual Energy Cost:* ₹18,980

The thin client setup (including the server) saves approximately *₹132,860 annually*
in energy costs compared to individual computers.
COST SAVINGS WITH THIN CLIENT SOLUTION

The thin client-based setup with NComputing RX300+ and Dell PowerEdge T550
Server is more cost-effective, energy-efficient, and easier to maintain.
-It is ideal for a large-scale deployment like a college computer lab.

Proceed with the thin client and NComputing solution to maximize ROI and streamline
lab operations.
