As organizations modernize endpoints and support more flexible work models, IT teams need secure access solutions that work across company devices, home PCs, and temporary systems - without increasing complexity or licensing costs.
LEAF OS Go is NComputing’s newest way to deliver secure, centrally managed access to virtual desktops and cloud applications on virtually any supported PC, laptop, or thin client - simply by booting from a LEAF OS Go USB drive (which comes with both USB type-C and USB 3.2 interfaces). No installation. No changes to the local operating system. Just plug in, boot up, and connect.
True Portable Workspace for BYOD and Beyond
LEAF OS Go runs entirely from USB, launching a secure LEAF OS environment that keeps corporate access fully isolated from the host device. When the session ends, users simply remove the USB drive and reboot - leaving the personal system completely untouched. With a fully locked-down LEAF OS built on a read-only system image, security is further strengthened, significantly reducing the risk of cyberattacks, malware, and corporate data leakage.
This makes LEAF OS Go ideal for:
- BYOD programs
- Contractors and consultants
- Temporary or shared work locations
- Secure remote access without installing corporate software
Because LEAF OS Go uses the same hardened LEAF OS platform, IT teams can apply the same policies, configurations, and security controls used across their existing LEAF OS deployments.
One License, Many Devices
Unlike traditional endpoint licensing models that require activating and tracking each individual device, LEAF OS Go provides true portable LEAF OS licensing.
A single LEAF OS Go license can be used on any supported PC, laptop, or thin client, without requiring separate licenses per device. Users simply carry their workspace with them and boot where they need to work - making LEAF OS Go especially cost-effective for shared users, contractors, and mobile staff.
One OS Across Repurposed PCs, BYOD, and Thin Clients
LEAF OS Go complements the broader LEAF OS ecosystem, giving customers flexible deployment options:
- Repurpose Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and existing thin clients by installing LEAF OS and extending hardware life while improving security and manageability.
- Enable secure BYOD and mobile workers with LEAF OS Go, without installing software on personal devices.
- Deploy purpose-built thin clients when dedicated hardware is required:
- EX-series thin clients (x64 architecture)
- RX-series thin clients (Raspberry Pi-based)
All options run the same LEAF OS platform and deliver a consistent user experience.
Centrally Managed with PMC Endpoint Manager
All LEAF OS devices and NComputing thin clients - including systems running LEAF OS Go - can be centrally managed using PMC Endpoint Manager.
With zero-touch onboarding, devices can be automatically provisioned, configured, and secured as soon as they connect to the network. From a single web console, IT teams can:
- Deploy configurations and software updates
- Manage connection profiles and policies
- Monitor device health and usage
- Enforce security and compliance
This centralized approach simplifies operations, reduces support effort, and helps organizations slash total cost of ownership (TCO) while maintaining strong security controls.
Broad Support for VDI and DaaS Platforms
LEAF OS and LEAF OS Go support leading virtual desktop and application delivery platforms, including: Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, Microsoft RDS, Citrix, Omnissa, Parallels RAS, Amazon WorkSpaces, Dizzion Frame, UDS Enterprise, and other VDI/DaaS solutions. This allows customers to choose or change their backend infrastructure without changing endpoint software.
Secure Access Everywhere, Without Endpoint Sprawl
With LEAF OS Go, NComputing extends the power of LEAF OS beyond fixed devices, enabling truly portable, secure, and centrally managed access from almost anywhere - all with a simple USB drive and a flexible licensing model.
