IGEL’s Universal Desktop strategy enables organizations to deliver all their server-based applications, anywhere, with the best user experience, security, ease of management, and lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). The software, or firmware, embedded in every IGEL Universal Desktop is highly multi-functional and contains the industry’s largest collection of server-based protocols for connecting to centralized applications. Offering Linux, Microsoft® Windows® Embedded 7 (2011) and Microsoft® Windows® Embedded 2009, with different Feature Packs (Entry, Standard and Advanced), businesses only pay for what they need. In addition, IGEL’s broad range of Universal Desktop devices means features such as wireless, additional legacy ports and an optional internal smartcard reader can be included.

Each Universal Desktop comes with IGEL’s Universal Management Suite (UMS), which will also be on display at IP Expo. An extremely powerful yet easy to use software application, IGEL’s UMS allows customers to remotely deploy and manage the thin client system. This keeps total cost of ownership to a minimum, accelerates return on investment (ROI), optimizes security and ensures maximum desktop productivity and uptime.

Also on show at the event will be IGEL’s Universal Desktop Converter (UDC) software, which allows IT environments with mixed desktop hardware, such as PCs or thin clients from different manufacturers, to be standardized at low cost and to be efficiently and securely managed over a network, or over the Internet, by means of one interface. The UDC software is an ideal introduction to thin client technologies and minimizes the initial procurement costs of new client hardware. The UDC allows you to migrate your existing PC or old thin client hardware into a fully manageable IGEL Universal Desktop thin client-like device. It is capable of delivering Citrix®, VMware and Terminal Server desktop applications, utilizing the full software functionality of our Entry, Standard or Advanced Feature Packs.
