IGEL OS – the next generation of operating systems (OS)
IGEL OS is revolutionising end-user computing by standardising your endpoints, giving your users a friendly workspace wherever they need it, while providing granular control and adaptive configuration. With its ability to integrate with over 110 partners, IGEL OS collaborates with a host of remote display protocols and is designed to support you with nearly all your business needs.
Some of the key features for IGEL OS include:
Simplified endpoint management:
due to its compatibility with almost all x86 endpoints, IGEL OS drastically reduces the cost and time associated with managing your endpoints
Built-in endpoint security:
with two-factor authentication, biometric scanners, smart card readers, and trust execution include within IGEL OS, you’ll have confidence that your endpoint devices are always secure
Improved end-user experience:
as your workloads will be hosted on the cloud, users will benefit from quicker logins and application load speeds, consistent operation, and improved performance within the database
Reduce your procurement costs:
by extending the life of your current hardware, you’ll reduce the cost of replacing it with new equipment
IGEL’s Preventative Security Model
Endpoint security can be costly, complex, and ineffective. However, with the shift towards cloud-first strategies that relocate application workloads from endpoints to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Data-as-a-Service (DaaS), and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, there’s an opportunity to reconsider endpoint security.
IGEL OS revolutionises endpoint security by eliminating areas that are typically exploited by threat actors. Serving as a secure Linux operating system, IGEL OS provides all the essential components for a comprehensive cloud-first user experience.
IGEL’s Preventative Security Model is changing endpoint security through:
- A read-only operating system that prevents attackers from compromising IGEL OS with malware. During every reboot, the OS completes a few checks that’ll ensure the OS is safe and prevents attackers from utilising phishing or similar techniques
- Preventing users from storing data locally on their endpoints, which is a common way for threat actors to access data
- Partnering with some of the leading authentication vendors, such as Microsoft, Citrix, VMware, and Okta to meet broader standards
IGEL’s sustainability pledge
IGEL are committed to driving a more sustainable future for our organisations and the planet. They’re striving to achieve this goal by following the three R’s principle – reducing, reusing, and recycling.
- Reduce: IGEL’s OS reduces your power usage by more than 22%, while replacing your Windows OS with IGEL will lower your power usage by 49% per device
- Reuse: implementing IGEL OS onto your existing hardware will extend its lifespan and reduce the amount of hardware you’re replacing
- Recycle: IGEL partners with vendors that supports responsible disposal of e-waste and support projects that takes e-waste and reuses it
