NComputing Adds EX500 Thin Client and LEAF OS as Citrix Ready
Xentegra webinar

Earlier this month we participated in a joint webinar with Xentegra, one of our valued reseller partners, to discuss NComputing offerings and how we’ve taken on the challenges companies are facing due to the pandemic and its lingering issues. In particular, we discuss how issues with the global supply chain, working from home, and the proliferation of DaaS have rapidly advanced desktop virtualization and how NComputing products and services solve the resulting IT challenges.

LEAF OS is deeply integrated with Citrix desktop virtualization to provide extensive USB peripheral compatibility. Supported USB peripheral devices in Citrix sessions include:

  • USB webcams for video conferencing
  • USB printers and network printers
  • USB mass storage devices
  • USB & analog audio devices including headset and speakers
  • USB smart card readers and security keys
  • Serial ports
  • Other USB devices through Generic USB redirection

LEAF OS is tightly integrated with Citrix desktop virtualization. Some highlights include:

LEAF OS supports the following Citrix Desktop VIrtualization envrionments:

  • Citrix Daas
  • Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1808 or newer
  • Citrix StoreFront 3.0 or newer, StoreFront 1811 or newer (including connections through Citrix Gateways)
  • Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6 or newer
  • Citrix Web Interface 5.4

AMP is a software maintenance and support program provided by NComputing to allow LEAFOS devices to receive the latest firmware updates. Each device must have its own current AMP license to continue to receive firmware updates. An active AMP license must be maintained to receive the described benefits. Renewing an expired AMP license is applied retroactively to the date that the previous license expired.

Each LEAFOS device comes with a 1-year subscription to AMP. This allows the device to receive firmware updates applied locally or pushed from NComputing PMC Endpoint Management Software. When the AMP license expires the device can no longer receive firmware updates. Subscription to AMP must be purchased and applied to the device in order to once again be able to push firmware updates from PMC. An active AMP license must be maintained to receive the described benefits. Renewing an expired AMP license is applied retroactively to the date that the previous license expired.

The RX300 thin client is based on the Raspberry Pi 3B, while the new RX300+ thin client is based on the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Both thin clients have the same exact features and functionalities and can be managed by vSpace Console and PMC Endpoint Manager. The key differences are:

RX300: Ethernet is 10/100; WiFi is 2.4GHz (802.11 b/g/n); CPU is 1.2GHz
RX300+ Ethernet is gigabit; WiFi is dual-band 5 / 2.4GHz (802.11 b/g/n/ac); CPU is 1.4GHz

AMP

AMP, our Annual Maintenance Program licensing products will be undergoing some changes in June. Since its inception, AMP has provided an easy and cost effective way to not only license NComputing products, but provide timely support from our technical team. The program has allowed us to keep older devices from the L-series and M-series compatible with current platform releases and bring new products to market for additional virtualization offerings.
