IGEL, provider
of the secure endpoint OS for now and next, announced that it has deepened
its collaboration with Microsoft, naming new integrations and enhancements that
support Windows-driven enterprise customers. As a result of ongoing development
and innovation, IGEL is now releasing IGEL OS support for Windows 365 Frontline
edition, new features available for Microsoft Intune and native support for
Microsoft Azure Stack HCI.
IGEL and
Microsoft are releasing the following new developments to enhance support for
the Windows-powered enterprise:
- Windows 365 Frontline Support.
IGEL OS has added new multi-user support for Windows 365 Cloud PCs. Now
task workers such as healthcare workers, shift workers and other frontline
staff, can connect their Cloud PCs directly from IGEL OS to Windows 365
Frontline. This simplifies the adoption of Windows 365 Frontline to give
shift and part-time workers the flexibility to work productively from
anywhere without the constraints of shared physical devices.
- Enhanced Intune Support.
Now, using a new Intune app for IGEL OS, IT administrators can see and
manage IGEL-powered devices from within Intune. Using support
for Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access, enterprises using
IGEL OS on endpoints managed by Intune can achieve greater policy control
and security for a more compliant endpoint estate.
- Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure
Stack HCI Support. IGEL OS's clients work directly
with Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI. IGEL can deliver cost
effective VDI access for customers that want the benefits of Azure Virtual
Desktop running on-premises using hyper converged infrastructure hardware.
"IGEL is
continuing its ongoing, strategic Microsoft relationship by prioritizing the
collaborative innovations our joint customers need to accelerate end user
productivity while enhancing enterprise security and efficiency," said Klaus Oestermann, CEO, IGEL.
"By deepening our support across the Microsoft portfolio, we are underscoring
the value of IGEL in the Windows-driven enterprise and accentuating the value
of our combined solution for the future of end user computing."
"IGEL and
Microsoft are mutually committed to delivering a seamless and secure user
experience for today's hybrid digital workforce," said Scott Manchester, Vice President
of Product, Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365, Microsoft. "IGEL's
support for Windows 365 Frontline, Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI
and Microsoft Intune will help us deliver additional value to a broad range of
customers in a wide variety of industries."
These new
developments and enhanced Microsoft technology support will be featured during
IGEL DISRUPT 24, the industry's largest EUC event which will take place
September 16 and 17 in Munich, Germany. During the event, Microsoft
will deliver a half-day technical bootcamp, offering hands-on training,
real-world simulations, and in-depth discussions to help attendees explore key
concepts around Azure Virtual Desktop, the key differentiators of Windows 365
and the optimization of application delivery and security best practices within
the Microsoft ecosystem.
