Tackling AI-Driven Memory Shortages: How LEAF OS Helps You Do More with Less

Memory bottleneck

The recent surge in AI workloads has sparked a memory shortage unlike anything we've seen before. With hyperscale data centers gobbling up a larger share of premium DRAM and flash, PC manufacturers and IT teams are squeezed—facing skyrocketing hardware costs, supply bottlenecks, and the challenge of keeping endpoints up to speed.

But what if you could stretch the life of your existing hardware, boosting performance and security without breaking the budget? Enter LEAF OS, a modern endpoint OS designed to breathe new life into your aging devices—making them faster, safer, and easier to manage.

The Memory Crunch That's Here to Stay

This shortage isn't a passing phase. Big shifts in where memory capacity is allocated, rising prices, and years-long delays in new fabrication mean endpoints are going to feel the pinch for the foreseeable future.

  • AI and server farms take priority for memory suppliers  
  • Prices for DRAM and enterprise SSDs are climbing sharply  
  • Overall memory supply growth lags behind demand  
  • New production fabs will take years to mitigate shortages  

These trends mean collecting dust in your IT closet are devices that could still thrive—with the right approach.

Reimagine Your Endpoints with LEAF OS

Rather than rushing to replace, why not repurpose? LEAF OS transforms existing Windows 10 PCs and thin clients into sleek cloud and virtual desktop endpoints. Whether it’s extending the useful life of existing Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and aging thin clients - or providing a truly secure, portable workspace for BYOD access - LEAF OS endpoint solutions are designed to cover every one of these scenarios.

  • Lightweight and lightning fast  
  • Reduces attack surface with robust, locked-down security  
  • Centralized management keeps things simple and consistent  
  • Works with Amazon WorkSpaces
  • Citrix, Microsoft AVD, Windows 365, Omnissa, Parallels, UDS Enterprise, VERDE VDI and vSpace Pro

LEAF OS lets your hardware punch above its weight, saving you money and headaches.

Built for the Future of Work

Designed for cloud-centric environments, LEAF OS supports VDI, DaaS, and SaaS workloads, giving IT tight control over endpoint usage. Plus, with LEAF OS Go, users can securely bring their workspace anywhere—without risking corporate data.

Manage It All With PMC Endpoint Manager
