Remote Desktop Services

The effective endpoint OS and management solution for your Microsoft VDI

Stratodesk’s NoTouch Desktop is the solution of choice whether you are planning to use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) or you are currently connected and want to scale your Microsoft VDI. NoTouch includes the FreeRDP software for instant RDP connectivity.

Challenges facing Remote Desktop Services Customers Include

High Maintenance Cost and Effort

Without a standardized endpoint architecture in place, your IT staff will have to maintain, patch and update many different versions of Windows and the Remote Desktop Client on various endpoint devices, no matter if you use a Windows lock-down approach or not.

High Security Expense and Risk

Even if you use a Windows lockdown tool you will still invest a fortune in antivirus subscriptions in order to keep your endpoints virus free.

Massive Investment when Standardizing Hardware

In order to escape the management challenge of having to maintain Windows on different endpoints (PC, Laptop, Thin Clients) you may want to standardize your hardware. A complete switch to dedicated VDI devices such as Thin or Zero Clients is expensive and locks you into a specific vendor.

Management Nightmare

Without an enterprise grade, remote management solution, adding new devices or updating existing ones can be time consuming and stressful.

You know all the advantages of VDI already, which is why you are considering or using RDS. However, in order to get the full benefit of your Microsoft VDI you will need to look outside the Windows lock-down approach.

NoTouch Desktop Solves Obstacles Facing Organizations Using RDS

NoTouch Desktop Extended Benefits

NoTouch OS Doesn’t Need Windows in Order to Run

NoTouch OS replaces the need to have Windows installed on local devices. In most cases, NoTouch OS is installed directly onto the device’s hard drive.

For diskless deployments NoTouch can be network booted with the integrated PXE server in the management VA.
