Calculator · Citrix UniconOS
Extend the life of your PCs and thin clients with Citrix UniconOS (formerly eLux), a secure, read-only endpoint operating system included with Citrix UHMC, and see what you save on hardware, software and support.
Usually a lot. UniconOS turns existing PCs and thin clients into secure, centrally managed Citrix endpoints, so you can delay hardware refreshes, drop endpoint software and cut desk-side support.
Enter your endpoint fleet and costs below. The calculator compares your current refresh and support costs with a UniconOS fleet and shows annual and three-year savings.
Client result: a telecom client is saving $1.2M a year with Citrix UniconOS.

A transparent model. Change any input and every number updates instantly.
Devices × device cost spread over your refresh cycle, plus endpoint software per device, plus IT support hours × your hourly cost.
The same devices last the extra years you choose, endpoint software drops by the share you set, support time drops by the reduction you set, plus any UniconOS and managed costs.
Citrix and back-end licensing, monitors and peripherals are the same in both columns. Power savings are not included.
Citrix UniconOS (formerly eLux) is a secure, Linux-based, read-only endpoint operating system built for Citrix. Citrix UniconOS Management (formerly Scout) manages the whole fleet centrally.
Citrix UniconOS is included with Citrix Universal Hybrid Multi-Cloud (UHMC). Altanora confirms your entitlements before you roll it out.
Yes. UniconOS runs on most existing x86 PCs, laptops and thin clients, so you can repurpose hardware instead of buying new devices.
UniconOS uses a read-only, signed system image with no local data storage, which greatly reduces the attack surface compared with a full Windows desktop.
A pilot can run in weeks. Altanora plans the image, policies and staged rollout, and many projects qualify for Citrix Funded Pro Services.
Altanora confirms your Citrix entitlements, validates these numbers with your real data and builds a plan that may qualify for Citrix funding.
