Citrix Workspace and IGEL OS are transforming how people work through collaboration to optimize the user experience and boost productivity. Together we deliver a compatible and intelligent solution for fast, frictionless, and secure access to virtualized and cloud workspaces from any IGEL OS-powered endpoint. IGEL is a longstanding Citrix Ready partner, and we are now part of the Citrix Ready Workspace Endpoint Program and the Citrix Ready Hybrid Multi-Cloud Program.
With Citrix Workspace, you can embrace the cloud with ease and securely deliver all the tools your employees need such as SaaS apps, web apps, and virtual apps. It also helps simplify management and speed up deployment, no matter where you are in your cloud journey.
As a longstanding Citrix Ready partner, IGEL stays in lockstep with the latest version of Citrix Workspace, Citrix Cloud services, and Citrix Workspace app and is validated as Citrix Ready Endpoint Premium and Citrix Ready for Cloud. The Citrix Ready team, along with Citrix and IGEL product teams, worked closely to plan, integrate, test, and validate the required functionality and criteria to achieve the Premium Endpoint level. To date, IGEL is the only company to achieve all three of these Citrix partner technology validations.
Simplify Your Cloud Journey – Repurpose Existing Hardware and Build on Existing Infrastructure
Citrix and IGEL are focused on supporting choice of device, apps, and cloud services for our customers. Providing a secure and consistently compatible workspace on a familiar graphical user interface makes it easier for people to navigate across various devices from any location. IGEL OS runs on any compatible x86-64 device — PC, laptop all-in-one devices, or thin clients — and IGEL OS (RPI4) is purpose-built for enterprise access to Citrix environments. Citrix Workspace, Citrix Cloud, and IGEL enable organizations to efficiently migrate to their cloud(s) of choice, at their pace, from any infrastructure (on-prem, public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud).
Effectively Connect, Communicate, and Collaborate
Quickly and easily access Citrix Workspace on IGEL OS-powered endpoint devices through an embedded browser for Citrix Workspace app providing Microsoft Teams and Zoom as a Citrix App client with HDX optimization. IGEL OS supports offloading much of the multimedia processing to the local operating system, while running critical real-time communications components on the device. This enables a high-fidelity, immersive, unified communications and multimedia experience for users from any compatible x86-x64 endpoint device.
From the Edge to the Cloud — Protect System Integrity
Citrix in the cloud, enterprise-level security, and the IGEL chain of trust help boost end-to-end security. IGEL’s management console monitors every workspace in real-time and automatically pushes security updates, helping to mitigate fraudulent access and breeches.
With Citrix Workspace and IGEL OS on the endpoint, you can enhance workspace capabilities while reducing TCO by building on existing hardware and infrastructure. IGEL and Citrix work in unison to power your transition to the cloud with confidence.
