    BUILT-IN ENTERPRISE-LEVEL SECURITY

    Security-conscious organizations can finally be confident that the core operating system on endpoint devices has not been compromised. Support of two-factor authentication, smart card readers and trusted execution are already included. Additionally, as a highly secure Linux-based operating system, IGEL OS is virtually impossible to manipulate and extremely resistant to viruses and other malware.

    EASY CUSTOMIZATION

    From added functionality to corporate branding to screensavers that display corporate messaging, IGEL OS is designed for managed customization and cloud-based environments. It’s easy to make your endpoint devices look and perform exactly the way you want, without having to overhaul your backend infrastructure.

    MODULAR CONFIGURATION

    Pick and choose functionality. IGEL OS is designed to let an organization “turn off” unused features. Turning off unused features lets you give back resources to the system, keep your endpoints as “thin” as possible, better control endpoint usage, and minimize the attack surface of the device.

    ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE

    By moving desktop PC workloads from the endpoint and into the secure data center, which includes inherent fault tolerance and automated backups, you experience true efficiency while increasing security. Increase efficiency with significantly faster logins and application loading, more consistent operation and significantly boosted performance in database lookup or query.

Benefits

"IGEL is the connection of our organization"

  • Refreshed Endpoints

    “After nearly a decade of use, the desktop hardware we were using was not only getting old, but it was no longer being supported.” – Joshua Lindemann, Tech Services Manager, Univ. of Lethbridge

  • Tried-and-True

    “Now everything is a lot quicker and the students get the same experience irrespective of the device.” – Brad Johnstone, Head of ICT Services, Ayrshire College

  • As-needed consumption

    “From the administrator side it is also very good solution. Since the thin clients have replaced the PC, administrators have been able to forget about nights spent on the regular installation of security patches, system restarts after crashes or reinstalling systems due to hardware failure.” – Bartosz Kołodziej, Technical Management Team, BNP Paribas

  • Hyper Configurable

    “We like the IGEL UMS because it is easy to configure and makes the management of the IGEL endpoint devices virtually hands-free for our IT team. Previous to IGEL, some of our processes were manual, and often required an on-site technician to troubleshoot or configure desktop clients. Now we can do this from one central location, which saves time and reduces costs.” – Marc Dell, Engineering Manager, Fulton Financial Corporation

  • Reliability is key

    “These laptops are often on the road, with no given return date to the office, but the performance and safety of the systems remains the responsibility of the IT team. Certainly, in relation to planning and fleet management, these laptops must function properly; they are core parts of our services.” – Bob Mulders, Head of Corporate Infrastructure and Network, Vos Logistics
