IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces,
announced the expansion of its strategic alliance with Nutanix Frame with the validation of IGEL OS as Nutanix Frame
Ready. Additionally, Nutanix Frame has joined the IGEL Ready program as a technology partner.
"In today's ‘work from anywhere' world, it can be
challenging for IT teams to stay on top of the needs of their end users and
provide a computing experience that keeps them engaged and productive," said
Jim Airdo, Senior Vice President of IGEL Ready & Strategic Alliances, IGEL.
"The mutual verification and validation of IGEL OS and Nutanix Frame makes the
delivery of that experience even easier. The combined solution has now been
proven for seamless interoperability so that enterprises can deliver end user
computing productivity and value, faster."
Ruben Sprujit, Sr. Technologist at Nutanix said, "Nutanix
and IGEL are working together to help make hybrid work both easy and secure.
They're extending the flexibility afforded by Frame, in delivering virtual apps
and desktops, to IGEL OS-powered endpoints through IGEL Ready. For customers
looking to enable a secure and modern digital workplace, IGEL OS and Frame
deliver simplicity, scalability, and ease of management."
Greater Flexibility and
Choice for Work-From-Anywhere Environments
Nutanix Frame is an industry-leading
hybrid and multicloud Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solution that delivers
Windows apps and desktops to users anywhere, on any device. The Frame
Ready program, part of Nutanix
Ready, allows thin
client vendors to validate compatibility of their operating systems and/or
hardware as fully compatible with Nutanix Frame and the Frame App.
With the successful completion of verification and joint
compatibility testing, IGEL OS's Nutanix Frame Ready status simplifies the
deployment and operation of IGEL OS-powered devices with the Nutanix Frame
Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform. With Nutanix
Frame now validated with IGEL OS, mutual customers using Nutanix Frame to
support work-from-anywhere environments benefit from greater flexibility and
choice when it comes to managing, securing, and modernizing the delivery of
cloud-enabled workspace.
"We are pleased to have achieved Nutanix
Frame Ready status, and at the same time see Nutanix Frame become
part of a powerful validation movement in the end user computing industry," said Divya Saggar,
Director, IGEL Ready. "The future of
enterprise computing is in the cloud and the IGEL Ready technology partner
program makes it easy for any company to deploy their applications to virtual
desktops and cloud workspaces, reaching a new and relevant market while also
enabling world-class customer service."
