Hardware and Software endpoints for Microsoft

NComputing delivers simple-to-deploy, centrally managed endpoints designed and optimized for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), WIndows 365 Cloud PC, and Remote Desktop Services (RDS).

Thin client solutions from NComputing extend the affordability of these services by lowering the total cost of ownership. Our solutions are affordable and built to satisfy the high-performance demands of today’s users.

LEAF OS provides a software basis for repurposing existing x86-64 hardware into manageable thin clients, either temporarily by booting from a USB drive or permanently by installing directly on the internal drive.

Deployment and ongoing maintenance are simplified using PMC, our centralized endpoint management system. 

Windows 365 Cloud PC

Windows 365 Cloud PC combines the power and security of the cloud with the versatility and simplicity of the PC. From contractors and interns to software developers and industrial designers, Windows 365 enables a variety of new scenarios for the new world of work.

NComputing provides both thin clients and software endpoints to connect to the service without the need for a full PC.

Remote Desktop Services (RDS)

Microsoft RDS is a platform useful for delivering individual virtualized applications, secure mobile and remote desktop access.

RDS offers deployment flexibility, cost efficiency, and extensibility—all delivered through a variety of deployment options, including Windows Server 2019 for on-premises deployments, Microsoft Azure for cloud deployments. It can be used for session-based virtualization, VDI, or a combination of the two.

NComputing is best-in-class for AVD

Verified Azure Virtual Desktop solution

NComputing is an official Azure Virtual Desktop partner for integrated Linux endpoint solutions verified by Microsoft.

Simple, Powerful, Affordable

NComputing has 20 years of expertise in desktop virtualization. As our computing needs continue to move to the cloud, how we interact with systems and applications continues to evolve as well. If powerful servers are running everything for you, gone is the need for the typical PC hardware and its issues. But you still need some way to connect a keyboard, mouse, and display to the cloud to do meaningful work.

Lower total cost of ownership

The RX-series thin clients lower the overall cost of ownership needed to adopt Azure Virtual Desktop. For organizations looking to refresh or acquire new endpoint devices, RX-series thin clients are a fraction of the cost compared to traditional PCs and laptops. For those looking to extend the usefulness of existing PCs, LEAF OS can convert any x86-64 based PC into an endpoint for Microsoft virtualization. Centralized device management and no local data concerns help slash ongoing device maintenance and security expenses.

Azure Virtual Desktop simplifies computing. RX-series thin clients and LEAF OS eliminate many of the issues surrounding typical hardware deployments including data security, component failure, and energy consumption.

Power where you need it most

We've been using ARM-based devices as the basis for our most recent thin clients. The Raspberry Pi 4 brings premium performance characteristics and native dual display support to remote computing. Optimized for Windows AVD and Microsoft RDS, the RX420(RDP) thin client in particular offers a rich PC-like experience in an affordable, energy-saving device that literally fits in the palm of your hand.

Microsoft Teams Optimization

Available on EX500W thin client and LEAF OS devices, audio and video streams in Microsoft Teams are offloaded from the Microsoft AVD, Windows 365, RDS, Citrix, and Omnissa Horizon sessions, enabling them to be processed locally on the client device. Deliver clear, crisp high-definition audio-video conferencing with integrated Microsoft Teams Optimization. Users can seamlessly participate in audio-video or audio-only calls to and from other users and other standards-based desktop video and conference room systems.
