NCS Cirrus LT Plus - Introduction

8 Cirrus LT Plus User Manual v1.2
Introduction
The Cirrus LT Plus is a zero client notebook that allows you to securely connect to any
kind of network, remote host, or virtual machine. The Cirrus LT Plus has no local storage,
so there is no vulnerability to viruses or malware, and no files or information will be com-
promised if the notebook is lost or stolen.
The Cirrus LT Plus is based on Teradici’s high performance TERA2321 processor, which
uses the PCoIP protocol. PCoIP compresses, encrypts, and encodes the entire comput-
ing experience at the data center and transmits it as pixels across the IP network to a zero
client. Remote users have effortless access to a fully functional, even HD, computing ex-
perience-- and now secure computing functionality is available for the first time on a zero
client laptop.
Compact, lightweight, and engineered for high performance, Cirrus LT Plus using PCoIP
technology is optimized for VMWare Horizon View for a highly efficient IT administrative
experience and low cost of ownership. Cirrus LT supports copper, fiber, and WiFi. It deliv-
ers state of the security using AES 128/256 bit encryption/decryption and Suite B ciphers.
The Cirrus LT Plus breaks the last security barrier and sets a new performance standard
for computing practicality.
