45Drives Enterprise Workstation

  • Open-source Linux OS for autonomy and transparency
  • No forced updates or intrusive ads
  • North American build quality
  • Silent, fanless, and compact design
  • Customizable and support-backed
  • Seamless integration into office environments
  • Enhanced privacy and user control

When it comes to enterprise PCs, legacy vendors have long been staples in enterprise IT, offering reliable infrastructure and widespread compatibility. However, they come with significant limitations. These vendors often lock customers into proprietary ecosystems, reducing flexibility and creating challenges at contract renewal time. Microsoft Windows, for example, has increasingly frustrated IT managers and users with forced updates, desktop ads, unexpected changes to default settings, and aggressive data collection. These disruptions compromise workflow and raise serious concerns about privacy and control, driving many organizations to seek alternatives that offer more autonomy, transparency, and customization.

The 45Drives Enterprise Workstation offers the best of both worlds. It combines the openness and control of Linux with the reliability and build quality of a North American–made device. This compact, single-board computer comes pre-installed with a Linux OS and is built for seamless integration into office environments. Fully customizable and support-backed, the Enterprise Workstation gives organizations the flexibility they want, without sacrificing quality, support, or long-term security.
