Among its many benefits, some challenges exist for companies wanting to implement BYOD

IT Hassle

Does your current VDI platform support all the browsers your end users intend to use? Chances are that they do not. What happens when an end user’s browser refuses to install a certain plugin? Common scenarios like this cause huge problems and consume unnecessary IT staff time.

Security Issues

Allowing workers to connect to your server from a home Windows opens your organization to possible security risks. Organizations need a solution that can run side-by-side with a native operating system without overwriting it.

Lost/Stolen Devices

Housing sensitive data on personal devices creates problems with data recovery and opens up possible security issues if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Boot NoTouch from any USB, Anytime, Anywhere

Many NoTouch users need seamless access to their virtual desktops from personal devices, whether at home or on the go. Stratodesk addresses this need with software that can boot directly from a USB, preserving the device’s native operating system.

With NoTouch you can:

  • Clearly define boundaries between user-managed and corporate-managed spaces for seamless understanding
  • Dramatically lower the technical entry bar
  • Run seamlessly on Windows PCs, laptops, and Apple Macs
  • Easily integrate BYOD systems into corporate management space without compromising compliance and security

Stratodesk’s NoTouch OS operates independently of the user’s Windows installation and offers two flexible modes to suit your preferences:

Virtual Machine

Run NoTouch in a virtual machine on any device. Prepackaged distributions for Windows PCs, notebooks, and Apple Mac OS X devices are available. This creates a consistent interface, an easy-to-see red line between user space and corporate space. Users are simply required to have the very base of their system working. Everything needed to connect to the corporate server or cloud desktop is inside the virtual machine, 100% managed by corporate IT, OS independent, and equal across the Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac worlds.

USB pen drive

Boot NoTouch from a USB pen drive without harming the user’s OS at all – the moment the USB pen drive is unplugged, the users can reboot into their private Windows installation.
