IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for
cloud workspaces, today announced the availability of a new "Work from Home
Kit" which has been designed to ease and accelerate companies' work-from-home
(WFH) strategies. IGEL also announced its 2020 sweepstakes and contest program,
"
Workspace Coolplace," where eligible participants will
be entered to win one of two complete home workspace makeovers worth $20,000
and quarterly home office prizes. Makeovers will be designed by leading home
makeover and organizing expert Vicki Norris.
"Working
from home has become today's new normal as we strive to remain productive,
connected and positive during this unprecedented time. IGEL is here to help
with new, easier ways to support remote workers and a sweepstakes which gives
winners the cool home workspace they've always wanted and deserve," said Jed
Ayres, CEO of IGEL. "Now, more than ever, our workspaces need to not only
inspire efficiency but also support the new balance we all face between our
traditional workplace and home. We're thrilled to be partnering with Vicki
Norris as she shares her work-at-home tips, advice and workstyle
recommendations."
The IGEL
"Work from Home Kit"
Available
immediately, the IGEL "Work from Home Kit" provides both existing and new
customers the ability to deploy and manage IGEL OS across the internet
securely, enabling IT organizations to manage and support thousands of
endpoints.
The
"Work from Home Kit" includes everything required to deploy IGEL OS to at-home
and remote employees, including the UD Pocket which enables even unmanaged,
older devices to dual boot into the secure, managed IGEL OS. The WFH kit also
includes the IGEL Cloud Gateway function which enables full management and
control of endpoints located anywhere via the internet, with secure configuration,
updates, and even device shadowing for troubleshooting. The WHF kit is
available now at 50% off the list price of the combined offerings for customers
who have previously purchased IGEL's Workspace Edition. More information on the
IGEL "Work from Home Kit" is available at www.igel.com/work-from-home.
"We've been
using IGEL Cloud Gateway for the past two years for remote workers with laptop
devices located in the field," said David Faynor, Information Technology
Business Manager, Pittsburgh Mercy Hospital. "All together we currently have
700 ‘IGEL'd' devices and are looking to add more devices this upcoming year."
