Case Study: City of Glasgow College extends hardware life and simplifies IT with NComputing and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop

City of Glasgow College converts 1,300 PCs to LEAF OS with NComputing

City of Glasgow College faced an aging IT infrastructure that required modernization. Their existing thin client setup was outdated, demanding significant administrative effort and manual intervention from a limited IT staff. They needed a solution that could extend the life of their hardware without a major new investment. The college turned to NComputing and its LEAF OS for a new endpoint strategy.

NComputing implemented its LEAF OS thin client operating system and PMC management software on approximately 1,300 existing devices, enabling a migration to Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). This centralized, cloud-based approach allowed for rapid deployment and remote management, drastically reducing the need for onsite IT support. The solution significantly extended the life of the college's hardware, lowered ongoing operating and energy costs, and provided a more secure, high-performance platform that received positive feedback from users.
