We are pleased to bring you a guest blog post by Simon Clephan, Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Alliances for IGEL. IGEL is a key Citrix Ready partner and supports Citrix by providing a simple, secure, smart environment for app and data delivery at the endpoint.
Citrix Synergy and IGEL, where the Future of Work takes the next leap!
IGEL’s 15-year-plus collaboration with Citrix, and as a Citrix Ready partner, is a big part of how IGEL continues to break new records with its endpoint management, thin client, and software deployments.
We are excited about this year’s Synergy theme, ‘the future of work.’ IGEL and Citrix are moving enterprises into the future of VDI, literally every day, by streamlining the use of Citrix VDI, DaaS and hosted desktop solutions.
IGEL and Citrix Ready
Stop by IGEL’s Booth #202 and see our complete lineup of Citrix Ready solutions including our IGEL OS™-powered Universal Desktop™ (UD) thin and IZ Series™ zero clients and all-in-one thin client solutions that are compatible with Citrix XenApp, XenDesktop, and CloudBridge. Additionally, learn more about our Citrix Ready, IGEL Universal Management Suite™ (UMS), IGEL Universal Desktop Converter™ (UDC), and IGEL UD Pocket™ micro client.
When you’re at our booth be sure to check out our Citrix Ready, UD7 Universal Desktop, the latest addition to IGEL’s portfolio of virtualization-optimized endpoints. The UD7 answers the need for access to multiple, high-quality displays for applications such as video production, operations centers or hospital diagnostics centers. It’s another example of how IGEL and Citrix are developing new and innovative ways to improve the end-user computing experience. BTW, just in case you were wondering, UD7 supports HDX Technology, HDX 3D Pro, and HDX Premium.
Also, you won’t want to miss IGEL and Lakeside’s demo of end-to-end VDI performance tracking via the IGEL OS virtual channel. The Lakeside SysTrack Workspace Analytics now has full visibility into IGEL OS-powered endpoints, gathering performance metrics. It ties this collected data to active Citrix VDI sessions, giving organizations rich insight into ways to further optimize their EUC performance from the keyboard to Datacenter.
