IGEL, in collaboration with Microsoft,
empowers the Windows-driven enterprise with a range of new
capabilities to simplify and secure end user computing
SAN FRANCISCO ,
July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, provider of the secure
endpoint OS for now and next, announced that it has deepened its
collaboration with Microsoft, naming new integrations and
enhancements that support Windows-driven enterprise customers. As a
result of ongoing development and innovation, IGEL is now releasing
IGEL OS support for Windows 365 Frontline edition, new features
available for Microsoft Intune and native support for Microsoft
Azure Stack HCI.
IGEL and Microsoft are releasing the following new developments
to enhance support for the Windows-powered enterprise:
- Windows 365 Frontline Support. IGEL OS has added new
multi-user support for Windows 365 Cloud PCs. Now task workers such
as healthcare workers, shift workers and other frontline staff, can
connect their Cloud PCs directly from IGEL OS to Windows 365
Frontline. This simplifies the adoption of Windows 365 Frontline to
give shift and part-time workers the flexibility to work
productively from anywhere without the constraints of shared
physical devices.
- Enhanced Intune Support. Now, using a new Intune app for
IGEL OS, IT administrators can see and manage IGEL-powered devices
from within Intune. Using support for Microsoft Entra ID
Conditional Access, enterprises using IGEL OS on endpoints managed
by Intune can achieve greater policy control and security for a
more compliant endpoint estate.
- Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI Support. IGEL
OS's clients work directly with Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure
Stack HCI. IGEL can deliver cost effective VDI access for customers
that want the benefits of Azure Virtual Desktop running on-premises
using hyper converged infrastructure hardware.
"IGEL is continuing its ongoing, strategic Microsoft
relationship by prioritizing the collaborative innovations our
joint customers need to accelerate end user productivity while
enhancing enterprise security and efficiency," said Klaus
Oestermann, CEO, IGEL. "By deepening our support across the
Microsoft portfolio, we are underscoring the value of IGEL in the
Windows-driven enterprise and accentuating the value of our
combined solution for the future of end user computing."
"IGEL and Microsoft are mutually committed to delivering a
seamless and secure user experience for today's hybrid digital
workforce," said Scott
Manchester, Vice President of Product, Azure Virtual Desktop
and Windows 365, Microsoft. "IGEL's support for Windows 365
Frontline, Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft
Intune will help us deliver additional value to a broad range of
customers in a wide variety of industries."
These new developments and enhanced Microsoft technology support
will be featured during IGEL DISRUPT 24, the industry's largest EUC
event which will take place September
16 and 17 in Munich,
Germany. During the event, Microsoft will deliver a
half-day technical bootcamp, offering hands-on training, real-world
simulations, and in-depth discussions to help attendees explore key
concepts around Azure Virtual Desktop, the key differentiators of
Windows 365 and the optimization of application delivery and
security best practices within the Microsoft ecosystem.
