We replaced 800 Windows endpoints with ChipPC thin clients running ThinX OS. Boot time dropped from 90 seconds to a few seconds, and helpdesk tickets fell by more than 60%.

The read-only filesystem changed our security posture overnight. We stopped worrying about ransomware on endpoints — there's literally nothing to encrypt.
Anna Becker
CISO — Banking & Insurance
Pushing a new RDP connection to 1,200 thin clients now takes one click in Xcalibur. Before, we used to plan the same operation as a two-week project.

Security is not an add-on in ThinX OS — it is the foundation. Every architectural decision was made to eliminate attack surfaces and protect end-user data, helping you meet enterprise security and privacy requirements in healthcare, finance, government, and education.
The entire ThinX OS root filesystem is mounted read-only at boot time. Ransomware has nowhere to write. Malware cannot persist across reboots. Even if a session is compromised, the OS reverts to a clean state on next boot — automatically.
Xcalibur enforces USB policies on every ThinX OS device: block all USB storage, allow only whitelisted peripherals, or set read-only mode. Prevent data exfiltration and enforce BYOD policies without any local IT intervention.
ThinX OS supports 802.1X EAP authentication for wired and wireless networks. Only authenticated, registered devices can connect to your corporate network. Certificates are managed and deployed remotely via Xcalibur.
ThinX OS has no local administrator or user accounts to compromise. There is no password to steal, no account to brute-force, no privilege escalation path. All management is done through Xcalibur, protected by 2FA and role-based access control.
Deploy SSL/TLS certificates to any device or group remotely via Xcalibur. Encrypt every connection — RDP, VNC, management traffic — end to end. Certificate renewal and distribution are fully automated, eliminating human error.
Every action on every device is logged with user identity, timestamp, and device ID. Built-in audit log export and scheduled reports help your organisation align with GDPR and internal compliance policies.
ThinX OS connects to every major virtual desktop infrastructure out of the box
Pair ThinX OS with Xcalibur Global to add Azure AVD, Microsoft Teams, PuTTY, TN5250/3270 and Parallels connections, all deployable centrally.
