IGEL,
provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces, today announced a
strategic development initiative
with Zoom. As a result of the relationship, IGEL
OS 11.04 now offers new support for Zoom's
video communication platform via the Citrix Workspace App and VMware
Horizon.
"Our expanded support for Zoom on
the Citrix Workspace App and VMware Horizon is part of our efforts
with Zoom's engineering team to expand the virtual channel capabilities of the
popular video communications platform," said Simon Clephan, Vice President of
Strategic Alliances for IGEL. "We are pleased to be teaming up
with Zoom to enhance the performance of Zoom's collaboration
solutions when used in conjunction with IGEL's cloud workspace solutions."
The integration of the Zoom plugin for the
Citrix Workspace App and VMware Horizon within IGEL OS improves the
end user experience and increases performance by locally processing essential
real-time communications components to create
an immersive, high-fidelity Zoom
communications platform within
virtual environments.
"Zoom's communications platform is our
go-to solution for internal and external collaboration among our teams," said
Douglas Walker, Vice President and Director of Infrastructure Services,
Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group. "We are very excited that IGEL has
added support for Zoom built within the IGEL OS and are already taking
advantage of the improvements it will offer our end-users in terms of audio and
video quality."
Simon
Booth, Product Architect
for Zoom Video Communications, added, "Our expanded relationship with IGEL is
enabling Zoom to better support the communication and collaboration needs of
remote workers. By adding Zoom plugins
for both Citrix and
VMware, we are further solidifying our relationship with IGEL and making it
easier for our mutual customers to improve their Zoom experience."
Zoom
is a member of the IGEL Ready Program, a new program launched in July 2020,
which has opened up IGEL's core enterprise software for any technology partner
to integrate with and validate their products. For more information, visit https://www.igel.com/partners/technology-partners/.
