IGEL, a provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces, is announcing that it has been named by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company,
as a finalist in the 2021 CRN Tech Innovator Awards. IGEL UD Pocket2
was recognized in the "Virtualization - Apps/ Desktop" category.
This
annual awards program showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel
across 47 different technology categories, in key areas ranging from
cloud to storage to networking to security. To determine the winners, a
panel of CRN editors reviewed hundreds of vendor products using multiple
criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological
ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.
"The
UD Pocket2 features a 2-in-1 design that transforms endpoints with
either with USB Type-A and USB Type-C interfaces into a IGEL OS-powered
endpoint for secure, manageable access to VDI, cloud workspaces and
virtualized apps," said Balaji Subramanian, Global Channel Chief, IGEL.
"We are proud to be recognized by CRN for our innovation and leadership
in giving enterprises the ability to rapidly and securely help their
people remain productive while working from anywhere."
The
IGEL UD Pocket2 is a portable USB device with a USB-A and a USB-C
connector that converts any compatible x86-64 device into an IGEL OS
powered endpoint for accessing digital workspaces including Citrix,
VMware, Microsoft AVD & Windows 365, and Amazon WorkSpaces.
Compatible with both legacy and modern devices, the UD Pocket2 is an
ideal solution for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) users,
work-from-anywhere (Wfx) users, or organizations wanting to repurpose
aging or existing hardware to allow simplified and managed access to the
company network or cloud workloads, from anywhere.
"CRN's

display their ongoing commitment to empowering and enabling end users,
while also promoting continuous business growth for solution providers,

CEO of The Channel Company. "I'd like to personally congratulate each
and every one of this year's CRN Tech Innovator Award winners. We are
