Transform Old PCs into Modern Thin Clients, Boost Endpoint Security, and Smooth migration to Windows 11 in the Cloud.
LEAF OS is a secure Linux-based OS for thin clients that provides access to virtual desktops on any x86-64 PC or thin client.
By repurposing outdated endpoint hardware with LEAF OS, organizations can extend their lifecycle and migrate smoothly to Windows 11 in the cloud.
With minimal system requirements (4GB RAM, 8GB storage), LEAF OS enhances endpoint security through a locked-down Linux OS, simplifies firmware updates, and supports centralized management.
Save money by avoiding costly PC refreshes and enjoy optimized performance for leading virtual desktop solutions like Amazon Workspaces, Citrix, Microsoft (AVD, Windows 365, RDS), NComputing (vSpace Pro, VERDE VDI), and OMNISSA.
Integration with the Citrix Workspace app allows LEAF OS to deliver a compelling software endpoint solution for Citrix enterprise customers.
Devices running on LEAF OS have multimedia capabilities such as Microsoft Teams optimization, HDX Adaptive Transport, Browser Content Redirection (BCR), and extensive USB peripheral devices support.
LEAF OS is fully optimized for Citrix HDX Ready ensuring that it meets the performance, security and manageability demands of the enterprise.
LEAF OS delivers simple-to-deploy, centrally managed endpoints designed and optimized for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365 Cloud PC, and Remote Desktop Services (RDS). Extensive USB peripheral support and Microsoft Teams optimization highlight the excellent session performance on these platforms.
LEAF OS can revitalize old computers or thin clients into high-performing AVD, Windows 365 or RDP endpoints, and extend the affordability of these services by lowering the total cost of ownership. Easily make the move to Windows 11 with your existing, non-compliant hardware, by adopting Microsoft AVD or Windows 365.
Deployment and ongoing maintenance are simplified using PMC, our centralized endpoint management system.
VERDE VDI provides the most secure, easy-to-use, enterprise-grade virtual desktop infrastructure. LEAFOS enables easy & secure access to VERDE VDI.
Using LEAF OS devices to access VERDE Remote Access provides highly secure 24/7 connections without the need of a VPN from anywhere via the internet.
Omnissa, formerly known as VMware EUC. Integration with the VMware Horizon client allows the LEAF OS software endpoint solution to transform any x86-64 PC, laptop, or thin client into a secure, locked down, and centrally managed VMware Horizon endpoint.
Devices running on LEAF OS support VMware Blast and RDP protocols out of the box and boast advanced multimedia capabilities, including Microsoft Teams optimization, HTML5 Multimedia Redirection (HTML5 MMR), Browser Content Redirection, and extensive USB peripheral devices support.
Computers running LEAF OS can deliver virtual desktops from any one of 11 popular Windows operating systems via vSpace Pro Enterprise, including Windows 10 & 11, Windows Server 2019 and 2022.
LEAF OS features the NComputing vCAST Streaming technology which reduces the overall server-side CPU usage for web videos like YouTube or local media content without the need for expensive GPUs.
The new UXP Turbo protocol supported by LEAF OS delivers an enhanced desktop experience with PC-like performance for 3D rendering, browser scrolling, video playback and multimedia-intensive applications.
Simple, affordable and powerful.
LEAF OS software is designed and built for the x86-64 CPU architecture, typically on Intel or AMD CPUs. Devices running LEAF OS are fully optimized for Amazon WorkSpaces for End-User Computing, ensuring they meet the enterprise's performance, security, and manageability demands.
Streamlined Management and Comprehensive Endpoint Security
NComputing solutions streamline endpoint deployment and maintenance through centralized management with PMC Endpoint Manager, reducing CAPEX and OPEX while improving uptime and performance. They also enhance endpoint security by protecting sensitive data, enabling secure boot, locked-down operating systems, secure communications, data leakage prevention, and centralized management.

Why NComputing?
For 20 years NComputing has pursued the idea of affordable, high performing desktop virtualization solutions. Our innovative and award-winning technologies serve customers large and small, in diverse markets, with varying use cases–from a solar-powered internet café in Zambia to a highly secure environment at the U.S Department of Defense. We’re confident our solutions will work for you.
High Performance
Today’s computers have more computing power than most users need, and much of it sits idle a majority of the time. We help you consolidate, virtualize, and distribute this computing power to where it's needed the most.
Low Cost
Servers and thin clients cost less to acquire than an army of PCs. Thin clients use less energy, generate a fraction of a PCs fan noise and heat, and greatly reduce the need for hands-on support. Even use existing PCs past their expiration dates via software clients.
Unlock the Future
Introduce a new operating system without worrying about whether your PCs are technically capable of running it. Eliminate the PC refresh cycle by using durable low-cost thin clients instead of PCs. When you upgrade your server, everybody benefits.
Bring it Together
Centralize the management of your operating systems, software applications, and deployed thin clients. Execute updates and provide tech support quickly and efficiently without disrupting your users.
Environmentally Friendly
We can't live without PCs, so let’s learn how to live with them in a way that makes them friendlier to the environment. Thin clients and desktop virtualization reduce eWaste, energy use, and CO2 emissions
Virtualization is in our DNA
For fifteen years we've brought new technology to struggling communities, helped startups "startup" without breaking the bank, and streamlined Government and the Enterprise with desktop virtualization solutions that remain our focus and passion. Compute smartly.
