Case Study: Arcos Dorados achieves cost savings and simpler IT management with NComputing virtualization

Arcos Dorados cuts PC costs by 50% with Ncomputing

Arcos Dorados, the world's largest independent McDonald's franchisee, faced challenges with its aging PC infrastructure across a vast geographic area, including failures to meet high availability goals and a growing need for IT staff intervention. The company partnered with Ncomputing to address these issues by virtualizing manager workstations using NComputing RX-series thin clients.

The Ncomputing solution involved replacing PCs with thin clients, virtualizing Windows using Microsoft Windows Server, RDS, and Hyper-V, and managing everything centrally. This resulted in a 50% savings compared to PCs, drastically reduced energy usage, and eliminated the need for hands-on IT visits at its distributed locations. The initial deployment successfully brought 400 locations online across three markets.
