IGEL addresses Citrix customers

This means that each of the IGEL OS™ 10-based solutions have successfully passed a series of tests established by Citrix, ensuring that they will work seamlessly with Citrix XenApp 7.14 and XenDesktop 7.14 to streamline the deployment of Citrix VDI, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) and hosted desktop solutions.

“IGEL OS-based solutions complement the adoption and use of Citrix by providing endpoints that are simple to configure with granular controls to enhance security,” said John Panagulias, Director, Citrix Ready. “We are pleased IGEL has validated their latest release of IGEL OS 10 and the Universal Desktop products on which it runs; adding them to the broad list of IGEL solutions that have been Citrix Ready verified over the past decade and a half.”

The IGEL OS, currently in its sixth generation, is a Linux-based, read-only, 64-bit operating system which standardises endpoints and provides IT with granular, secure control of endpoints, while giving users a familiar, trouble-free workspace. Supporting more remote communications protocols than any solution on the market, IGEL OS is purpose-built for enterprise access to virtual environments of all types. The IGEL OS is at the core of IGEL’s line of thin and zero clients and all-in-one thin client solutions which deliver smart and secure endpoint management. The industry-changing UD Pocket is a micro Universal Desktop thin client on a USB 3.0 thumb drive that allows users to turn a PC, laptop or any compatible x86, 64-bit CPU-based endpoint device into a thin client running IGEL OS.

“IGEL is committed to empowering Citrix customers with a smart and secure endpoint management experience,” said Ainsley Brooks, IGEL’s UK & Ireland country manager. “By extending our line of Citrix Ready verified solutions, we’re working together with Citrix to accelerate the adoption of Citrix VDI, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) and hosted desktop solutions.”
