IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud
workspaces, and
Teradici, the creator of
industry-leading PCoIP technology and Cloud Access Software, today announced
that the new IGEL UD3 is the first endpoint device to be optimized for cloud
connectivity with the Teradici PCoIP Software Client for Linux, including the
PCoIP Ultra feature set.
"IGEL's
collaboration with Teradici enables us to continue to provide our mutual
customers with an exceptional end user computing experience," said Casey
Cheyne, vice president of cloud partnerships, IGEL. "The enhanced support of
PCoIP Ultra, for example, exemplifies a common directive from both companies -
to enable secure, optimized performance within virtualized and cloud workspace
environments."

The
new IGEL UD3 endpoint device takes advantage of the powerful AMD Ryzen Embedded
R1505G SoC with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics, enabling the use of the AVX2
instruction set or H.264/HEVC hardware decoding options. PCoIP Ultra accelerates the
decoding processes on the client, improving user experience by providing a
smoother display of any moving graphics on the host machine, even in high
resolution. The IGEL UD3 can support two 4K displays, providing enhanced
productivity for users requiring large amounts of dynamic, visual information
with minimal latency and high security.
The
PCoIP Ultra
enhancements,
first introduced by Teradici last year and supported by IGEL OS since June
2019, uses an expanded array of encoders on the host, enabling the choice of
the most efficient hardware or software codecs according to content
characteristics. This flexibility results in a faster, more interactive
experience for users of remote desktops working with high-demand graphic
applications, including those working in visual effects, computer aided design
(CAD), animation, simulation and modeling, broadcast video, financial trading,
or medical imaging.
"Working
with IGEL over the past year has convinced us of the company's dedication to
provide innovative, high-performing solutions and the best possible user
experience," said Ziad Lammam, vice president of product management for
Teradici. "The IGEL UD3 endpoint, with the integration of PCoIP Ultra and the
hardware features to optimize its performance, further demonstrates the
company's strength in providing remote desktop solutions that balance security
and performance needs for a variety of applications."
With
PCoIP Ultra and the UD3, end users benefit from greater flexibility of choice
with the ability to securely connect with Teradici Cloud Access Software for a
rich, high-fidelity user experience to any cloud or private data center,
including Amazon WorkSpaces and AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
