Cirrus LT User Manual-1.2d-062515
Introduction
The Cirrus LT is a zero client notebook that allows you to securely connect to any kind of
network, remote host, or virtual machine. The Cirrus LT has no local storage, so there is no
vulnerability to viruses or malware, and no files or information will be compromised if the
notebook is lost or stolen.
The Cirrus LT is based on Teradici’s high performance TERA2321 processor, which uses
the PCoIP protocol. PCoIP compresses, encrypts, and encodes the entire computing expe-
rience at the data center and transmits it as pixels across the IP network to a zero client.
Remote users have eortless access to a fully functional, even HD, computing experience--
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 using PCoIP tech-
nology is optimized for VMWare Horizon View for a highly ecient IT administrative
experience and low cost of ownership. Cirrus LT supports both copper and fiber and Wi-Fi
and delivers state-of-the-art security, AES 128/256 bit encryption/decryption and Suite B
ciphers.
The Cirrus LT breaks the last security barrier and sets a new performance standard for
computing practicality.
Note: Since the firmware may be updated at a later date, screenshots contained in this
document of the NCS GUI may be subject to changes without notice.
