NComputing announces Parallels support in LEAF OS

As the October 2025 Windows 10 End-of-Life (EOL) deadline approaches, organizations worldwide are facing mounting pressure to refresh aging PCs and laptops. But a forced hardware refresh isn’t the only option. With NComputing’s LEAF OS and Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS), IT teams can repurpose existing devices into high-performance, centrally managed endpoints, avoiding unnecessary capital expenditures while accelerating the transition to Windows 11 in the cloud.

A Seamless Partnership for Endpoint Transformation

Smarter, More Secure, Easier to Manage

Repurpose hardware. Reduce TCO. Migrate to Windows 11 in the cloud faster.

As the Windows 10 End-of-Life approaches, IT teams are reevaluating their endpoint strategies. NComputing is proud to announce that its suite of solutions—LEAF OS, EX500W, and the new RX540 thin client—are now Omnissa Ready certified, optimized for Omnissa Horizon deployments across cloud and on-prem environments.

LEAF OS Now Supports Virtual Cable UDS Enterprise 4.0

As organizations look ahead to the looming Windows 10 End-of-Life (EOL) in October 2025, many are reassessing their endpoint strategy to find cost-effective, secure, and sustainable alternatives. NComputing’s LEAF OS software endpoint solution offers a compelling path forward—extending the life of existing hardware by converting aging PCs and laptops into powerful Linux-based thin clients.

Microsoft Teams optimization for the RX-series devices

The proposition for RX-series thin clients has always been straightforward: they are high-performing and efficient devices offered at a lower cost than X86-64 endpoints. That lower cost reflects some compromises (and benefits), but as the ARM platform grows, software availability continues to expand its usefulness.

As Windows 10 approaches its End-of-Life (EOL) support, many organizations face the daunting task of migrating to Windows 11. However, many PCs and laptops are incompatible with the new operating system due to older CPU processors, insufficient memory or storage, and a lack of Secure Boot capability or TPM security support. This incompatibility can lead to significant challenges, including the need for expensive hardware upgrades, increased security risks, and extended downtime during the migration process.

The Challenge

The latest iteration of LEAF OS, version 5.5.8, brings a wealth of enhancements and new features designed to elevate user experience and system performance. This update builds upon the robust foundation of its predecessors, offering a blend of productivity tools, enhanced UI/UX, and expanded compatibility. Here’s a detailed look at what’s inside:

Are you looking for a way to access VMware Horizon virtual desktops from any device, anywhere, anytime? Do you want to repurpose your old PCs and laptops as thin clients for desktop virtualization? Do you want to save money, reduce maintenance, and improve security?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the new integration between NComputing and VMware Horizon is the solution you need.
