IT spending by Manufacturing firms is projected to reach $630 Billion by 2025
Improve operational efficiency and create a lean manufacturing environment with the simple, smart, and secure end-user computing.
The IGEL’s next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces helps ensure the highest levels of connectivity by supporting a broad range of applications and interfaces. With IGEL OS, these apps and interfaces can be easily customized for user-specific requirements, whether in production, quality assurance, or in warehouse.
SECURITY
- Customer and company data can't be compromised
- Sensitive intellectual property (e.g., formulas, patent apps, schematics, prototypes) must be protected
- Malware attacks can severely damage business and reputation.
- Single Sign-on, Smart Card, and other security measures can be difficult to add or integrate
- It can be difficult to control which apps and data employees and customers can and Cannot access
EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER USER EXPERIENCE
- High quality / Fidelity user experience is a must, especially in research and design, unified communications etc
- Employees demand mobile / work from home
- EUC environment must offer great user productivity
Add to this; that requirement can change at a moment's notice!
Shifting Windows workspaces from endpoints to the data center or cloud makes manufacturing teams more agile, improves IT efficiency, and simplifies security. IGEL OS is designed to work seamlessly with all major virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and desktop-as a-service (DaaS) platforms and deliver an outstanding user experience
IGEL endpoints automatically configure themselves based on their user, location, and purpose. This includes everything from optimized unified communications to specialized peripheral support. IGEL integrates with over 100 complementary technologies to help your teams stay efficient, productive, and happy.
- Lightweight, lean (<2GB) IGEL OS enables rapid access to apps and services Great for real-time shop floor and IoT data collection and analytics!
- Hardware, software updated with latest drivers and CODEC’s eg H.265 tuned to deliver high-end multimedia graphics
- Protocol independent IGEL OS = continued access to resources during merger and acquisition transactions
Embracing VDI or DaaS is a powerful first step to a better security model, but IGEL takes the security benefits even further. IGEL OS is a read-only operating system with extensive security features — from secure boot to a unique “chain of trust” model that validates each discrete step of the endpoint boot and workspace execution processes.
- Windows in data center/cloud vastly reduce attack points with better data center-class security & backup
- A small read-only modular IGEL OS footprint helps minimize malware attack vectors to help protect sensitive data and intellectual property Complete chain of trust from HW to server/cloud ensures OS and system integrity with every boot
- REST API integrates with other 3rd party technologies
In addition to delivering an adaptive, responsive, and secure endpoint experience to users, IGEL also makes life simpler for IT teams. IGEL’s Universal Management Suite (UMS) gives IT pros a simple and scalable way to deploy, manage, and update endpoints. Instead of fighting with endpoint patches and frustrating troubleshooting activities, they can spend more time on strategic IT priorities.
- How are you ensuring compliance with industry regulations like PCI DSS and regional requirements like GDPR?
- If you use virtual desktops, how do you stay current with the latest client software from Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft?
- Do you need support and stay current with a wide range of displays and peripherals?
- What solutions are you using for single sign-on and multi-factor authentication?
- How do you ensure staying current with the latest SSO/MFA products?
- Are you accessing any cloud-based workloads?
- Do different users share one endpoint?
