NComputing LEAF OS is a next-generation software endpoint solution that
transforms any x86-64 PC or laptop into a secure and centrally managed
endpoint.
Designed and optimized for Amazon WorkSpaces, Citrix, Dizzion
Frame, Microsoft (RDS, AVD, Windows 365), NComputing (vSpace Pro Enterprise,
VERDE VDI and Remote Access), Omnissa Horizon, Parallels, and Virtual Cable UDS Enterprise,
LEAF OS delivers a secure computing environment to access virtual desktops and
virtual apps from any x86-64 system. It can be used as a self-contained
operating system when booted from a USB drive. This methodology leaves the
user's existing operating system, files, and hard drive untouched while
providing an ideal environment for work-from-home use cases. When users finish
their work, a simple reboot to their native OS restores their device to
personal use.
Alternatively, LEAF OS can be used to repurpose PCs and laptops by
converting any x86-64 hardware from a stand-alone computer to a dedicated thin
client by installing directly onto an internal hard drive, removing the old
system and files. This method extends the usefulness of aging computers using
end-of-life operating systems like Windows 7 while giving users powerful
up-to-date desktops.
LEAF OS also comes with integrated local Chromium browser support,
providing additional flexibility such as web kiosk mode or productivity mode
with direct access to web content and web apps without desktop virtualization.
Other popular applications such as local Microsoft Teams PWA and Zoom
are supported.
LEAF
OS secure boot runs on x86-64 platforms, protecting the system against
malicious code by ensuring only authenticated software runs on the device.
LEAF OS devices can be remotely managed by the IT admin via NComputing
PMC Endpoint Manager. LEAF OS devices provide a simple-to-deploy, centrally
managed, high-performance virtual desktop, perfect for use in SMB and SME
organizations with Daas or VDI deployment.
· Standard x86-64 compatible processor, based on either BIOS or UEFI
motherboard firmware with USB boot support.
· The system should have at least 8GB flash/HDD storage.
· The system should have at least 2GB RAM. 4GB or more RAM is required for use cases relying heavily on local Linux
applications.
· PCs and
laptops with Secure Boot enabled are also supported.
