Case Study: Sidel achieves standardized, secure centralized Thin Client management with Stratodesk NoTouch

Sidel - Customer Case Study

Sidel, a global manufacturer of liquid packaging equipment with 50 offices and 5,487 employees, faced a complex endpoint challenge: a mixed fleet of roughly 200 Intel NUC and Raspberry Pi thin clients spread across multiple sites with inconsistent OS versions, settings and the need for secure, high‑performance VMware Horizon/Blast Extreme access. Seeking a centralized, lightweight and secure thin‑client management solution, Sidel engaged Stratodesk (via reseller CONTINUUM Technologies) to evaluate NoTouch Desktop, NoTouch OS and NoTouch Center.

Stratodesk deployed NoTouch Desktop (NoTouch OS on endpoints plus NoTouch Center for centralized management) bare‑metal across Intel NUC and Raspberry Pi devices, enabling secure, role‑based configuration, remote OS updates and automatic endpoint provisioning. The result: Sidel now manages 200+ devices from a single console, cuts IT travel and hours, achieves fast five‑minute device setup, eliminates local data storage for improved security, and realizes hardware cost savings by using low‑cost Raspberry Pi kits; Stratodesk support and the hundreds of licenses now in place further validate the measurable operational and cost benefits.
