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