German Thin Client Leader and Hidden ChampionPosted by igelclient on August 4th, 2015 Perfection can often be seen in the simplest of things. The hedgehog is a typical example from nature. It is perfectly adapted to its natural habitat. An example from the IT sector bears the same name. The German thin client manufacturer IGEL Technology has adapted perfectly to the needs of the changing IT sector and has therefore become the market leader in Germany. The secret of IGEL's success The thin client solutions manufactured by IGEL use cutting edge, efficient technologies via which the employees of IGEL customers can directly access a wide range of IT and cloud services, for example with a central company app or a virtual desktop which runs efficiently and securely in an internal or external computer center. Users of an IGEL thin client or zero client, a low-cost version for accessing virtual desktops, can log on from anywhere in the world and access their relevant central data and programs immediately, reliably and securely. Small ecological footprint A thin client also uses up to 77 percent less electricity than a PC. To be as successful as IGEL, however, not only the hardware but also the thin client software must be right. Here too, IGEL uses the latest technology, for example for the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) management software which allows all IGEL thin clients and zero clients to be remote administered in a standardized manner. Thin client software makes the difference One of IGEL's best-known software products is the IGEL Universal Desktop Converter 2 (UDC2). The thin client software converts virtually any client hardware – including PCs, notebooks and thin clients from other manufacturers – into an IGEL thin client. With the IGEL UDC2, the manufacturer with its head office in Bremen and a development department in Augsburg helps its customers to standardize their existing client environment using the IGEL Linux operating system and to make it remote administrable with the UMS. Equipped with the lean IGEL OS, even an older PC can be converted into a high-performance thin client. Smart hardware and software – perfectly integrated IGEL's close partnership with leading solution providers such as Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat and VMware is another important factor in its success on an international level too. IGEL can therefore offer its customers a complete, future-proof and perfectly integrated range of solutions whose benefits usually remain in the background for normal users. When viewed from the outside, IGEL is more of a hidden champion, while it is very much an established name within the thin client sector. For more information, please click below link: Like it?
