With Windows 10 end-of-life scheduled for October 2025, organizations around the world are rethinking their digital workplace strategies to adopt more efficient, secure, and sustainable alternatives. In response, Virtual Cable and NComputing have announced a technology alliance that marks a key step toward modernizing the digital workplace.
LEAF OS, NComputing’s lightweight Linux-based operating system, is now officially compatible with UDS Enterprise 4.0, the smart digital workplace solution developed by Virtual Cable. This integration allows businesses, educational institutions, and service providers to transform outdated PCs and laptops into powerful Linux thin clients. These devices can then access virtual desktops, virtualized applications, or remote devices managed by UDS Enterprise, deployed across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid infrastructures.
“Our collaboration with NComputing reflects our commitment to offering the most accessible, flexible, and sustainable alternative for digital workplace virtualization. With UDS Enterprise now integrated into LEAF OS, any organization can maximize the value of its existing hardware and take a strategic step toward a more efficient, future-ready workplace,” says Javier González, Technical Manager of Virtual Cable.
A sustainable digital workspace with optimized Teams performance
LEAF OS, a secure, lightweight Linux-based operating system, transforms older Windows PCs and laptops into high-performance thin clients. Integrated with UDS Enterprise 4.0 and including Microsoft Teams optimization, LEAF OS provides a secure, centrally managed environment for seamless access to Windows and Linux virtual desktops and applications. This solution simplifies endpoint management, cuts costs, strengthens endpoint security, and extends device life.
Key benefits include:
- Pre-installed UDS Enterprise 4.0 Client for optimized access.
- Support for Teams optimization.
- Extensive USB peripheral support (webcams, printers, storage, etc.).
- Multi-monitor support with independent screen rotation.
- Centralized remote management via PMC Endpoint Manager.
“Our collaboration with Virtual Cable empowers organizations to maximize their Windows 10 investments,” says Richard Sah, CTO of NComputing. “This joint solution boosts performance, fortifies security, and reduces total cost of ownership, providing a vital pathway for devices not eligible for Windows 11 upgrades.”
In summary, with Windows 10 reaching end-of-life, many organizations are being forced to upgrade their devices to support more demanding operating systems like Windows 11. The integration of solutions from Virtual Cable and NComputing offers a more affordable, sustainable, and efficient path to digital workplace transformation—extending device lifespan while significantly reducing both costs and environmental impact.
