Product Overview
The NComputing L-series access devices with vSpace™ desktop virtualization software dramatically cut your
computing costs by enabling multiple users to share a single PC, server or virtual machine. Each user gets
their own virtual desktop with a rich, multimedia computing experience that is practically indistinguishable from
running on a full PC. Best of all, IT staff and end users do not need special training because this end-to-end
solution is easy to manage and is compatible with standard desktop applications.
L-series Models
This user manual covers three distinct L-series products: the L130, L230 and L300. The entry-level L130
provides all of the basic features needed for a good virtual desktop experience, complete with keyboard,
mouse, monitor and speaker connections. The L230 adds a USB port for connecting storage devices, a
microphone port, and more color depth for an even better user experience. The L300 delivers the best
possible virtual desktop experience with the addition of a high-performance video acceleration system that
supports full screen motion video, higher screen resolutions and more USB ports. This manual covers the L-
series on Windows operating systems (refer to the NComputing online Knowledge Base at
www.ncomputing.com/support and search on “OS Support,” for specific Windows operating systems
supported). For documentation on available Linux operating system support – refer to the Knowledge Base
(search on “L-series Linux”). The following table summarizes the key differences between the products in the
L-series family.
