Today IGEL is one of the global leaders in delivering Linux and Windows based thin clients. With the management tool Universal Management Suite (UMS) your organization will gain full control over all units. You can quickly and in a simple way can manage them where they physically are located. IGEL has a partnership with Citrix, WMware, Red Hat and Microsoft that makes it possible for IGEL to offer the latest and leading technology with a high security. <\/strong><\/p>\n Well what can I say? It is a lightweight! It is a computer that doesn\u00b4t really have a specific hardware. Thin clients from IGEL does not consist of fan or hard drive. The thin clients gain access to hard drives from example data center by using Remote Desktop Protocols (RDP) for like Citrix XenDesktop that allows virtualized Windows desktops and your applications to be delivered as an on-demand service.<\/p>\n Since all the applications, data, memory and programs are stored in, for example a data center instead of being stored on the device itself, a thin client can be seen as a Virtual Desktop Computing Model (VDI). A thin client from IGEL is usually a more secure device than conventional traditional PC. An IGEL device cannot spread any viruses to other thin clients.<\/p>\n In my opinion, the big advantage is the UMS; to manage all the devices you have in your organization regardless of the physical location, through a single interface is a huge benefit for both your administrators and your users.<\/p>\n Another aspect of this that can be beneficial to your organization \u2013Time saving. You save time by using the UMS when you are working with everything in one place and can postpone a particular setting to the affected units by virtually one touch of a button.<\/p>\nBut, what is thin clients?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
But, what is really the big advantage with IGEL?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
There are several functions in IGEL\u00b4s different products based on which model you choose. The thin clients have a capacity to manage graphical programs and also a number of connectivity options with ports to accessories such as a webcam. They also support a number of functions and plugins that are highly demanded such as Skype for Business but also CAD and 3D applications. With the HDX functionality, usb are supported and multi monitoring settings, multimedia streaming with support for flash and also support for Real-Time with audio, pictures and webcam but also the delivery of 3D applications as mentioned above. To simplify this means that you with the help of an HDX optimization you can bring your local accessories to your Citrix session and the feeling would be the same like on a regular PC.<\/p>\n
