IGEL, a world leader in endpoint management software for the secure enterprise, today announced that IGEL UD Pocket was named the winner of a People's Choice Stevie Award for Favorite New Computer Hardware Products in The 15th Annual American Business Awards.
IGEL UD Pocket is a cost-effective, out-of-the-box micro thin client
solution that improves the security of bring-your-own-device (BYOD)
initiatives in organizations with remote or mobile workforces.
"IGEL UD Pocket is fast becoming a favorite new product for IT professionals and users alike," said Jed Ayres,
President and CEO, IGEL North America. "The micro-sized device makes
implementing secure, cost-efficient endpoint computing fast, easy and
cost effective. It's an ideal solution for remote workforces,
distributed organizations, and contract workers that require controlled
access to an IT-managed network and it gives aging desktop devices new
life, saving significantly on desktop refresh budgets. We're thrilled to
be named a People's Choice Stevie Award Winner for 2017."

IGEL
UD Pocket is a groundbreaking micro client device which enables remote
and mobile workers to access cloud services, server-based computing
applications and virtual desktops by plugging a tiny device into any x86
client machine. Here, it automatically integrates into the IGEL
Universal Management Suite (UMS) for secure remote support, deployment
and management. UD Pocket extends the functionality of existing hardware
by enabling a second tightly managed operating system to run on an
endpoint. Once the user has finished accessing their virtual desktop
environment through the IGEL UD Pocket, they can simply reboot their
principal OS and return to the local desktop.
