“The new TS-Series and NS-Series Cloud Station monitors continue Samsung’s dedication to innovation within the enterprise market and offer organizations a highly efficient means to enter the developing desktop virtualization space,” said Young Bae, director of display marketing at Samsung Electronics Enterprise Business Division. “These new models reduce the burden on IT management and enable workstations to leverage the power and speed of the company’s server, while reducing overall energy costs and creating a seamless, clutter-free work environment. .”

Easy Cloud Management and Maintenance

The NS-Series Cloud Stations are true zero-client (PCoIP) displays, allowing connections direct from the desktop display to a central host. These monitors eliminate the need for a local CPU, memory and storage at each workstation. This flexibility also reduces maintenance costs as all software and hardware components installed on the server automatically extend to each user’s desktop.

The NC220P feature Cisco’s Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE) technology, which not only provides access to the network and software on a central server, but also powers the device. The Cisco UPOE can supply up to 60 watts of power over Ethernet, nearly twice as much as currently existing technologies.

For enterprises needing more support from their workstations, the TS-Series Cloud Stations offer thin-client functionality and include processors, graphics cards and embedded operating systems like Windows® Embedded Standard 7 and Citrix Zero Client Operating System. These hardware components are conveniently hidden in the base of the monitor to maintain the overall minimalist appearance.

Leading the Way through LED

Continuing Samsung’s LED backlit  display line-up, the new TS- and NS-Series Cloud Stations feature new LED BLU technology, which offers the high-quality brightness and picture clarity customers have come to expect from Samsung.

By incorporating LED BLU, the Cloud Stations maintain a high contrast ratio and dynamic picture quality, while reducing the overall impact on the environment. The monitors are also mercury and halogen free, making them a better selection for eco-conscious organizations.

Ergonomic Excellence and Intuitive Efficiency

Available in 19-, 21.5- and 24-inch models, both the TS- and NS-Series Cloud Stations are designed to seamlessly blend into any office interior with a minimalist appearance, and offer a variety of ergonomic options for more comfortable use.

A wide, 170-degree viewing angle and Samsung’s Magic Angle technology allows for easy viewing of the screen – no matter the vantage point – and the 150mm height-adjustable stand enables users to comfortably place the display at a height and tilt suited to their viewing needs. Lastly, a 90-degree pivot function and wall-mounting capability make them ideal for specialized workplace environments like education, government and financial institutions.

Tactile selection and function buttons are also incorporated into the design, making it easy to adjust settings and power the monitor on and off. A single button press can power off the monitor and server connection, making energy conservation a simple and easy process, and, because the buttons are placed on the front of the display, the Cloud Stations can be mounted to walls without sacrificing access.

Price and Availability

The new TS-Series Thin-Client (TS190, TS220, TS240) and NS-Series Zero-Client Cloud Station Monitors (NS190, NS220, NS240) will be available in Q4.  Pricing will be announced closer to availability. All Samsung monitors can be found at select Samsung resellers and channel partners.

“We’ve seen a very positive reception to the original Series 9 models introduced at CES earlier this year,” said Scott Ledterman, director of mobile PC marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division. “As we look to expand the line for the remainder of the year, we’ve maintained the premium duralumin design and form factor while offering consumers a wider range of options and powerful performance.”

For added functionality and ease of use, the entire Series 9 line features a bright backlit keyboard for added productivity in dark environments. Offering twice the brightness of traditional laptop screens, the Series 9 laptops’ HD LED SuperBright displays make them easy to see both indoors and out and the 7 hours of battery life will keep users working all day, anywhere.

Expanded Versatility with Multiple Models

All five new models answer the computing needs of a variety of users. Powerhouse multi-taskers will appreciate new 13.3-inch model, sporting an Intel® Core™ i7 Processor, 6 GB of system memory and a 256 GB SSD, allowing them to be ready to work at a moment’s notice.  Jet-setters can turn to the new 11.6-inch model, which not only fits easily into a carry-on bag or overhead compartment, but also offers a powerful experience with its Intel® Core™ i3 Processor, 3 GB of system memory and a 64 GB SSD.

“Samsung’s reputation for innovative design and hardware development makes it a great partner to introduce one of the first Chromebooks,” said Caesar Sengupta, Director of Product Management, Google. “We look forward to bringing a much better computing experience built around the speed, simplicity and security of Chrome.”

Elegant Design, Power Performance

With its elegant shape, slim 0.79-inch body and simple Titan Silver or White finish, the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook embodies fashion and function.

The 12.1-inch Super Bright display is both anti-reflective and anti-glare for a consistently vibrant visual experience across a variety of light conditions, from outdoors to dimly lit environments. The Series 5 display’s 300nit brightness brings all forms of media alive in vibrant color.

Today mobility is a deciding factor for consumers. The Series 5 weighs 3.3 lbs. and has a battery life of up to 8.5 hours, including five hours of video play for all-day use without the need to recharge.  The Series 5 battery has a lifespan up to 1,000 cycles, three times longer than conventional batteries, which reduces the need for replacements. *

The Samsung Series 5 packs power with an Intel® Dual-core processor, giving you the versatility and performance you need for a one-of-a-kind web experience.

Simple, Secure User Experience

Google developed the Chrome operating system with three key factors in mind: speed, simplicity and security. The average out-of-the-box laptop starts up in 45 seconds. By contrast, the Series 5 starts up in less than ten seconds. When waking from sleep, a user simply opens the lid, and it’s ready to go. This means that wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, your computer won’t slow you down.

For a secure experience, Chromebooks run the first consumer operating system designed from the ground up to defend against the ongoing threat of malware and viruses. They employ the principle of “defense in depth” to provide multiple layers of protection, including sandboxing, data encryption, and verified boot.

The Chromebook has also reduced concerns about security and data loss by moving everything to the cloud. If the Chromebook is ever broken or lost, all of your files are saved online.

Web-centric Entertainment, Unrelenting Workhorse

The Series 5 enables today’s digital entertainment lifestyle by simplifying browsing, social networking, application usage and multi-media viewing. An optional VGA adaptor can connect to a second monitor or television, while audio inputs connect to a microphone, headphones or external speakers. The HD Webcam completes the Series 5’s audio-visual package.

When there isn’t time for entertainment, the Series 5 can get down to business. Productivity is enhanced with the Chromebook’s stylish and comfortable island keyboard, which delivers performance that can’t be matched by a virtual keyboard.

Connectivity

Samsung Series 5 will connect you to your data anytime, anywhere through 3G, WLAN and a 4-in-1 Card Reader.  Verizon Wireless has partnered with Samsung and Google to provide 3G connectivity for the Series 5 in the U.S. Verizon will provide up to 100MBs per month of Mobile Broadband service included with device for two years.  Simple and easy additional data packages are also available for users requiring additional space.

Picture Perfect, Even in 3D

Since launching the world’s first 120Hz 3D monitor in July 2009, Samsung has reinvented the 3D monitor experience to provide more stunning picture quality and access to a wider array of content options. Samsung’s TA950 and TA750 displays incorporate Samsung’s proprietary 3D technology – 3D HyperReal Engine – which optimizes color, motion and contrast for hyper-realistic 3D viewing.  Combined with a full HD 1920×1080 resolution and ultra-fast refresh rate (120 Hz in the 3D mode), the TA950 and TA750 displays are ideal for intense 3D PC or console gaming or for watching action-packed 3D video content like movies and sports.
