IGEL Revolutionizes Cloud Workspace Endpoint Management with IGEL OS 11SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, a world leader in software-defined endpoint optimization and control solutions for the secure enterprise, today launched the IGEL Workspace Edition. Powered by the IGEL OS 11 operating system, the IGEL Workspace Edition demonstrates, once again, that IGEL is leading the industry in its software-first approach and ability to standardize, manage and secure any complex end user computing ecosystem. Being unveiled today at the 2019 IGEL DISRUPT End User Computing Forum event in Munich, Germany, the IGEL Workspace de-couples the hardware from the software through new, flexible and transferable software licensing options that are designed to increase the value of endpoints while simplifying their acquisition, control and management. "With the launch of the IGEL Workspace, we've made endpoint management and control even easier and more cost-effective than ever before," said Jed Ayres, President and CEO, IGEL North America and Global CMO. "First, we revolutionized endpoint management, bringing simplicity and uniformity to complex VDI ecosystems. Now we're revolutionizing endpoint acquisition, ownership, and support, a move that we believe is going to be very exciting for both our partners and customers, and one that will make a tremendous impact on their ability to secure, optimize and control the endpoint." Shifting Priorities Prompt Need to Redefine Endpoint Acquisition and Ownership "We've always been a software-first company," continued Ayres. "Now with the upswing in user mobility, BYOD, IoT and desktop-as-a-service (DaaS), endpoint devices are proliferating and IT is moving toward software-defined, cloud, and 'pay as you go' subscription and consumption licensing. Subscription-based is the modern way by which organizations buy software." New Features Make Endpoints Simpler to Manage, Easier to Sell
Unique Licensing Model Drives Flexibility; Minimizes Expenses "What was once very easy to operate and manage is now also very simple to purchase and own, while providing even greater value to our customers," continued Richards. "Not only are we minimizing hardware expenses for our customers and partners by providing them with the industry's most powerful and most intuitive endpoint management platform, they can also enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that they will get constant updates from 80+ integrated technology partners. Ultimately, this enables them to maintain full-featured functionality with the broadest array of endpoint ecosystem partner offerings." With the IGEL Workspace, customers can also install or transfer both the perpetual license and the subscription option. Some of the new features specific to IGEL OS 11 include a switching feature and profile support for IGEL Universal Desktop, IGEL UD Pocket and the IGEL UDC using the same firmware across all devices; enhanced display switching feature that supports complex configurations with more than two screens; and, auto-DPI for 4K displays. The Enterprise Management Pack software subscription includes the IGEL Cloud Gateway (ICG) and other value-added capabilities. A suite of new enterprise class support offerings complements the new product capabilities. Select, Priority, and Priority Plus support packages provide a good-better-best approach to support from which customers can choose the support package that works best for them. The base Select support is included with software maintenance.
