IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces,today
announced that between 2017 and 2018, it experienced double-digit growth in
sales of the AMD powered IGEL UD3 and IGEL UD7 endpoints. Over the two year
period, shipments of the high-performance, virtualization-optimized endpoints
increased by 45%, year-over-year.
"We
believe the success we are experiencing with our AMD powered endpoints stems
from the launch of IGEL UD7 in April 2018, which set a new standard for
high-performance, multi-monitor end-user computing with its integrated AMD Embedded R-Series SOC with AMD
Radeon Graphics," said Matthias Haas, CTO, IGEL. "A couple of months later, in
June 2018, we continued to build on our relationship with AMD by upgrading the
IGEL UD3 software-defined endpoints to the second-generation AMD Embedded
G-Series system-on-a-chip (SoC), the GX-424. Both of these decisions have been
well-received by our customers, as evidenced by the outstanding sales growth."
Two Options Designed for High-Performance End
User Computing
TheIGEL UD7 is designed for end-user computing (EUC)
environments where high-performance and access to multiple, high-quality
displays is required, such as video production and CAD design suites,
newsrooms, operations centers and hospital diagnostics centers. In addition to
its integrated AMD Embedded
R-Series SOC with AMD Radeon Graphics, IGEL UD7 features two 4K DisplayPort
connectors at 60Hz and one 2K DisplayPort connector at 60Hz with expansion
capabilities to include one additional 2K DisplayPort connector at 60Hz, and
Secure Boot validation. Additionally, the IGEL UD7 features 4GB DDR4 RAM.
Similar
to theIGEL UD7, theIGEL UD3 provides simple, smart and secure access to modern
workspaces, and is designed for end-user computing (EUC) environments where
there is demand for high-quality multimedia applications includingvideo streaming and multi-monitor support. TheIGEL UD3, with its integrated AMD Embedded G-Series SoC,
delivers a powerful, high-definition multimedia experience with one 4K
DisplayPort connector at 60Hz and one DVI-I connector for maximum flexibility.
Additionally, the IGEL UD3 features up to 4GB DDR4 RAM, offers support for
Citrix HDX RealTime Media Engine (RTME) 2.4, and has passed all Citrix
Ready HDX certification levels including
HDX Technology, HDX Premium and HDX 3D Pro. The UD3 is also certified by Citrix
for Skype for Business video conferencing capabilities.
"The
combination of AMD embedded processors and IGEL endpoints provide the
performance, power and efficiency that today's modern enterprises desire. We
are proud to be teaming with IGEL to drive mutual success in the EUC space,"
said Stephen Turnbull, director of product management and business development,
Embedded Solutions, AMD.
Simple, Smart and Secure Management with IGEL
UMS
As
with IGEL's complete portfolio of virtualization-optimized endpoints, theIGEL UD3 and IGEL UD7 are managed through the IGEL
Universal Management Suite (UMS),
which provides IT organizations with automated backend control of their IGEL
endpoints, freeing them to focus on more strategic initiatives. Purpose-built
to simplify complex enterprise environments, the IGEL UMS supports a diverse
array of devices and operating systems and enables IT organizations to easilyadd and remove endpoint devices and perform software
upgrades as needed or required. "With IGEL, organizations can future-proof
their hardware investments through regular software upgrades that include
hardware acceleration," continued Haas.
The IGEL UD3 and IGEL UD7 also come pre-configured to support
industry-leading virtualization protocols including Citrix HDX, Microsoft
RDP/Remote FX or VMware Horizon Blast Extreme. Organizations can add or
re-configure these supported virtualization protocols leveraging the IGEL UMS
to quickly transition between protocols, and make changes to their entire
network of IGEL-powered endpoints, or a specific endpoint.
