IGEL Technology, a world leader in the development of powerful workspace management
software, software-defined thin clients, and thin and zero client solutions, today announced that it has
enhanced the performance of its Universal Desktop 9 (UD9) series thin clients
with the addition of an Intel Celeron J1900 quad core processor.
Offering up to 2.42GHz of processing power and backed by
2GB of DDR3L RAM memory, the Intel Celeron J1900 quad core processor supports
quick and easy access to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, as
well as multimedia and web-base applications, especially in environments where
there is high demand for multitasking capabilities.
"IGEL's high-performance UD9 series thin clients are
uniquely designed to meet the requirements of enterprises where significant
amounts of computing resources are needed to support complex applications such
a graphic and multimedia design, and unified communications and collaboration,"
said Simon Richards, Managing Director, IGEL North
America. "Now, powered by the Intel J1900 quad processor, the UD9 can
effortlessly address the demands of today's modern workspace environments,
while at the same time providing enough processing power to enable organizations
to scale based on future requirements, and without having to invest in new
hardware."
Compact Design
Features High-Performance Display and Communication Capabilities
Housed in the same slim chassis as IGEL's existing UD9
devices and measuring 9.3 x 20.2 x 14.3 inches, the enhanced thin client offers
a SATA SSD flash memory ranging from 2GB (IGEL Linux V5 model) to 8GB
(Microsoft Windows® Embedded Standard 7 model) to support high-end graphics, 3D
and multimedia applications.
The IGEL UD9's 21.5-inch display offers full high-definition
(HD) resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixel, and it also comes with an integrated
DisplayPort that includes a Dualview DVI port, and supports HD resolution of

limited including information kiosks; research terminals in libraries or
schools; point-of-sale terminals including presentation, checkout and
web-connected devices in retail outlets or restaurants; digital signage
terminals; patient information terminals in doctors offices or clinics; and,
banking terminals.
Popular communications protocols supported by the IGEL UD9

RemoteFX. The IGEL UD9 thin clients also support IGEL Linux V5 and Microsoft
Windows Embedded Standard operating systems. Additionally, an optional
integrated smartcard reader available with the IGEL UD9 thin clients supports
secure two-factor authentication for multiple users on a single workstation.
Other key features include two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a P2/2
connection, and 1 Gbit Ethernet serial interface that features 802.11
