Work securely and seamlessly from Anywhere with IGEL, Citrix Workspace and Citrix Cloud
Take your business to new heights, transition to the cloud at your pace with IGEL OS on the endpoint and Citrix Cloud services. Many enterprises are realizing the importance of a hybrid, multi-cloud strategy to support IT modernization to increase choice, agility, and lower capital expenditures.
IGEL OS, Citrix Workspace, and Citrix Cloud empowers your distributed workforces with an enterprise level, secure, and high performance combination for seamless access to workspaces deployed across Microsoft Azure or any cloud. The Citrix Cloud platform hosts and administers Citrix services. It helps IT admins extend existing on-premises software deployments by connecting to resources on any cloud or infrastructure. IT can create, deploy, and manage secure digital workspaces with apps and data to their end-users from a single console.
IGEL OS is the next-gen edge OS for cloud-delivered digital workspaces, purpose-built for enterprise access to virtual environments. It can run on any compatible x86-64 device and with over 100 partners supports a vast array of technology integrations.
Take your business to new heights with Citrix Cloud and IGEL OS.
Enable Flexible Workspace Access
Convert any x86-64 device to IGEL OS, enable personal PC use with IGEL UD Pocket, deploy purpose-built IGEL devices, or connect on the go with Citrix Workspace App.
Increase User Productivity and Satisfaction
The Citrix Workspace portal makes accessing business applications (SaaS, Virtual, Mobile, and Desktops) easy on any device while IGEL-managed endpoints are highly responsive and auto-configure based on pre-defined profiles.
Reduce CapEx
Extended the life of existing hardware assets and delay (or avoid) costly hardware refreshes while also extending access to employee-owned PCs simply and securely.
Improve IT Efficiency
Eliminate the need for remote Windows patching and simplify IGEL endpoint updates through automation and centralization and choose where data center resources exist – on-premises or in your cloud of choice – with single management through Citrix Cloud.
Implement Enterprise-Grade Security
Shifting workspace execution and sensitive data from endpoints to the data center or cloud with Citrix Workspace reduces risk. IGEL OS takes this a step further by creating a complete “chain of trust” from device boot to cloud workspace execution.
