How is notouch desktop installed and deployed

Full hard drive installation

NoTouch OS installs onto your device bare metal. You don’t need Windows installed on your device to run NoTouch OS, and installing NoTouch will replace any existing OS on your hardware.

Live Boot and BYOD Support

Empower your workers to connect to your network at home or on the go. Simply boot NoTouch from a USB stick and get full access to your VDI session without any effect on your native OS.

PXE Boot

Install NoTouch OS to thousands of devices instantly using PXE boot. Enable enterprise grade rollouts and save time by using PXE boot install directly from your server.

NoTouch OS on Raspberry Pi

NoTouch OS is the most advanced Thin Client OS for the Raspberry Pi. Our minimal footprint OS installs onto your Raspberry Pi 3, or the newest Raspberry Pi 3B+, and turns it into a high performing endpoint. Stratodesk is the first company to make the Raspberry Pi a viable enterprise option, and is the only OS for the Citrix Ready workspace hub.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

NoTouch Desktop is a hardware-agnostic endpoint repurposing and administration solution that consists of:

NoTouch OS, the minimal-footprint operating system that runs on both x86 and ARM-based devices. It can run from USB sticks, network boot, CD-ROMs, and your local hardware.
NoTouch Center, the central, automated administration solution for configuring, monitoring, updating, and remotely controlling your endpoints. Run NoTouch Center on-premises or with our fully managed, Cloud-based service, NoTouch Cloud

NoTouch does not need Windows in order to run. It is a complete appliance based on Linux and is intuitive enough to use that system administrators don’t need to have any OS or Linux skills to use it. Every aspect of the system can be centrally managed.

run NoTouch side-by-side/dual-boot with Windows (we call it Live Boot)
install NoTouch on a system’s hard drive or flash drive, effectively wiping Windows out
run NoTouch inside a virtual machine in a Windows OS in order to provide a clear boundary between user-controlled Windows (BYOD – bring your own device situation) and company-controlled NoTouch.

A few of the Main Benefits of Thin Client Computing are:
- Increased Security
- Centralized Management
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership
- Reduced Energy Consumption

As a general explanation, desktop virtualization involves separating the physical location of a client device from its logical interface, allowing end users to access their data and applications from anywhere.
A user interacts with a virtual desktop in the same way they would use a physical desktop. Desktop virtualization lets users remotely log in to access your desktop from any location.

NoTouch OS runs on 99% of all x86 desktop hardware including Intel (desktop and Atom), AMD and VIA CPUs. NoTouch OS also works on ARM based devices, including the Raspberry Pi, and prevents hardware lockdown and keeps you free to incorporate the widest variety of devices.

A thin client is a small, centrally managed device with no hard drive. Thin clients are used as a PC replacement technology to help customers immediately access any virtual desktop or virtualised application. Thin clients provide businesses a cost-effective way to create a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

Thin clients on average consume only 8-10 watts, compared to 150 watts for PCs.
