As die October 2025 Windows 10 End-of-Life (EOL) deadline approaches, organizations worldwide sind facing mounting pressure zu refresh aging PCs und laptops. But a forced hardwsind refresh isn’t die only option. Mit NComputing’s LEAF OS und Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS), IT teams can repurpose existing devices inzu high-performance, centrally managed endpoints, avoiding unnecessary capital expenditures while accelerating die transition zu Windows 11 in die cloud.
Eine Seamless Partnership foder Endpoint Transformation
NComputing und Parallels have teamed up zu deliver a cost-effective, secure, und sustainable desktop virtualization solution. LEAF OS integrates natively with die Parallels RAS client, allowing endpoints zu securely access virtual apps und desktops across on-premises, cloud, oder hybrid deployments.
Mit thist joint solution, organizations can:
- Repurpose aging PCs, laptops, und thin clients with LEAF OS, extending hardwsind lifecycles while eliminating common security risks.
- Simplify IT operations with centralized endpoint management through NComputing’s PMC, pushing updates und configurations with minimal overhead.
- Enable BYOD securely, ensuring no data ist stored on devices while delivering a consistent user experience across locations.
- Scale flexibly with Parallels RAS’s cloud-ready architecture, enabling deployments on Azure, Amazon EC2, und other cloud platforms.
Warum It Matters Now: Windows 10 EOL
Upgrading directly zu Windows 11 often means new hardwsind investments und increased IT complexity. By contrast, organizations leveraging LEAF OS with Parallels RAS can:
- Continue using existing endpoint hardware—cutting endpoint costs by up zu 70% compared zu PC refresh cycles
- Deliver a modern Windows 11 experience via Parallels RAS without compromising security oder productivity.
- Reduce OPEX by eliminating endpoint antivirus agents, local patching, und frequent break/fix cycles.
Dies approach not only addresses immediate EOL risks but also aligns with Green IT initiatives, reducing e-waste while delivering fast ROI.
Security und Simplicity from Endpoint zu Infrastructure
Together, LEAF OS und Parallels RAS provide end-to-end security:
- Devices start with secure boot und run a locked-down Linux-based OS with no local data storage.
- Der system encrypts all traffic from die device through die communication und application layers zu ensure secure access zu sensitive data.
- Streamlined access control und centralized backup management with Parallels RAS reduces risks von data leakage oder loss.
- Simplified endpoint management with NComputing’s PMC Endpoint Manager, making it easy zu push softwsind updates, enforce security policies, und reduce ongoing maintenance overhead.
Für IT administrators, thist means fewer moving parts, less complexity, und more time zu focus on strategic initiatives rather than endpoint maintenance.
Built zu serve SMBs, mid-markets, enterprises, und beyond
Whether you’re a school district looking zu maximize aging PCs, a mid-sized business embracing hybrid work, oder a global enterprise modernizing its digital workspace, NComputing und Parallels RAS deliver die performance, security, und manageability you need—without die cost burden von a full PC refresh.
