10ZiG Technology’s New Web-Based Centralized Management Utility

10ZiG Web Manager Console

Click to expand the image

Known for their speed to market and unparalleled customer and technical service, 10ZiG Technology is making a splash at this year’s VMworld with the introduction of new thin client products and a more user friendly management utility software.

10ZiG Technology’s New Centralized Management Utility Now Web-Based; Powerful Features

10ZiG Technology to introduce a new, powerful web-based centralized management utility at VMworld 2015, booth #2609, in San Francisco, California, August 30, – September 3.

Leicester, UK – Known for their speed to market and unparalleled customer and technical service, 10ZiG Technology is making a splash at this year’s VMworld with the introduction of new thin client products and a more user friendly management utility software.

The new ‘10ZiG Manager Web Console’ software comes stacked with dozens of new features. 10ZiG’s new software utility empowers Administrators to manage their Thin Client environments using devices with a supported Web Browser (Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox/Internet Explorer) and free them from the inconvenience of having to rely on connecting via traditional PC-based Consoles.

New and existing administrators will immediately feel at ease with the familiar user interface and responsive design that their existing 10ZiG Manager PC-based console is well known for. The 10ZiG Manager Web Console enables administrators to organize and manage multiple Thin Client Groups, for executing tasks such as Auto Configuration, Power On, Shut Down, Reboot, in addition to shadowing Thin Clients all from within an existing browser session.

Performance and security are a top priority in every 10ZiG product. The new 10ZiG Manager Web Console features a completely secure HTTPS login system which verifies user name and passwords against local active directory as well as a smart logout system which warns users and asks to continue their session. A few of the new security enhancements are a lockout timer for failed login attempts, IP address lockout, and bot and brute force attack protections.

Those seeking a comprehensive solution which offers complete remote control over multiple thin clients will appreciate 10ZiG’s new admin features. The new software allows for minimal touch device deployment using automatic configuration groups to remotely connect to any thin client on the network. Top level users will have the ability to edit individual configurations and generate comprehensive reports for each thin client.

“10ZiG analyzed the pain points of Administrators, who we see are becoming increasingly mobile and remote from their traditional workstations. We believe the inclusion of web-based access into our 10ZiG Manager Enterprise FREE software is another milestone in simplifying an Administrator’s role in centrally managing their Thin Client environment. This affords even greater versatility when managing 10ZiG devices from remote and mobile locations, in addition to traditional workstations,” stated 10ZiG’s Head of Research & Development, Robert Fitzer. 

About 10ZiG Technology
10ZiG Thin Clients and Zero Clients are optimized for desktop virtualization and offer the latest VDI brokers preinstalled, with support for PCoIP, HDX, and RDP protocols to name a few. Combining the best available security, high performance and flexibility, 10ZiG devices offer the complete desktop experience. 10ZiG’s goal is to take the complexity out of Desktop Virtualization by providing Thin Clients and Zero Clients with components that simplify implementation, improve management and enhance the user experience. 10ZiG Thin Clients and Zero Clients are available in a wide-range of hardware options including wireless devices, All-In-Ones and small form factor logic units. OS options include PEAKos (Linux), Windows Embedded 7 or Windows Embedded 8. The 10ZiG product range is underpinned by the most personal Sales and Support service on the market, and 10ZiG are willing to put it to the test through their no-obligation, no-hassle, flexible 30 day evaluation offer.

Azure Thin Client Considerations for Virtual Desktop

Microsoft Azure Thin Client

Microsoft Azure Thin Client

From Channel Futures Sep 27 — When adopting or adjusting virtual desktop solutions and services, many managed service providers seek advice on what brands, and types of clients, to invest in to accompany deployments. And given the evolution of desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) and the recent general availability of Windows 365, a new set of criteria have emerged when it comes to selecting the right hardware to efficiently operate virtual desktop environments.

In Brief

  • It will need to support AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop)
  • No known zero clients support AVD or Windows 365
  • Pros and Cons of a Zero Client are listed
  • Thin Client typically boot into Windows 10 IoT environment
  • Thin client more expensive but more flexible
  • Windows or Linux? Do you use MS Teams?
  • The linux vendors are very creative and resourceful though
  • Recommendations – Igel, 10ZiG and NComputing, to name a few

Excerpt:

Choosing between a Windows and a Linux thin client also has its implications. If you want the latest and greatest features that the Microsoft Remote Desktop client has to offer, picking a Windows-based thin client could be a wise choice. As of this writing, only Windows-based thin clients support Microsoft Teams video and audio optimization when making video or voice calls. This offloads the audio and video to be processed by the thin client, taking a heavy load off the AVD/Windows 365 virtual machine and gives the end user a great experience. This technique is also supported when using Zoom virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) – a Zoom client optimized for use with Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. Microsoft also announced in public preview a Chromium-based browser extension called Multimedia Redirection that offloads video to be processed on the local thin client as well, which allows you to fit a higher user density per session host.

IGEL Introduces Micro Thin Client

USB Thin ClientIdeal for VDI environments, the IGEL UD Pocket features a dual-boot system that turns compatible USB-bootable form factors into an IGEL Linux 10-powered endpoint, without overwriting the local OS

Reading, Dec. 6, 2016 – IGEL Technology, a world leader in the delivery of powerful endpoint management software, IGEL™ Linux-powered thin clients, zero clients and all-in-one thin client solutions, today announced the introduction of the IGEL UD Pocket, a flexible and cost-effective out-of-the-box micro thin client solution that is designed to improve the security of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives in organizations with remote or mobile workforces.

Built to provide on-demand access to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, the IGEL UD Pocket offers simple and secure access to the user’s IGEL Linux 10-powered desktop, via a USB-bootable device, without overwriting the local operating system (OS).

“As the industry’s first Linux-based micro thin client, the IGEL UD Pocket is ideal for organisations that want to provide remote and mobile workers with simple, secure and fully-functional anytime, anywhere access to their VDI environments,” said Simon Richards, Managing Director for IGEL South & Western Europe. “And, because the IGEL UD Pocket leverages existing hardware, organisations of all sizes can quickly scale their IGEL desktop deployments, while dramatically reducing desktop replacement costs.”

Protecting Networks and Data While Giving Workers the Freedom to Roam

The IGEL UD Pocket supports enterprise-level security standards and protocols. Additionally, IGEL’s entire family of thin and zero client solutions, including the UD Pocket, support two-factor authentication through integrated or external smart card readers or USB tokens, which prevents passwords from being lost, forgotten or intercepted by cybercriminals.

 With the IGEL UD Pocket, the IGEL Linux 10 desktop can be accessed from any USB-bootable PC, laptop, tablet or thin client that meets the minimum requirements of an x86, 64-bit processor and 2 GB RAM. Available in a USB 3.0 form factor with backward compatibility to USB 2.0, the IGEL UD Pocket measures 22.4mm x 12.2mm x 6mm and weighs 3 grams. The IGEL UD Pocket also features an industry-grade 8GB memory module, and a high-quality metal chassis is resistant to dust, shock and water.

 “We are finding that there is a significant market opportunity for our Linux-based micro thin client in vertical markets such as financial services and insurance, education, logistics and warehousing, and call centers where workers roam between desks, offices or locations,” continued Richards.

 Availability and Licensing

Designed to provide IT organisations with greater autonomy, and the agility and flexibility they need to quickly scale their IGEL deployments, the IGEL UD Pocket can be purchased through IGEL channel partners in Europe. Additionally, licensing for the IGEL UD Pocket is assigned to the USB stick, independent of the MAC address of the target endpoint. This flexibility to roam from one device to another, along with regular IGEL firmware updates, offers IT organizations a revolutionary, yet simple solution to their diverse endpoint management challenges.

 The IGEL UD Pocket can also be integrated, like all the other IGEL OS-powered products, into the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), a centralized and secure remote management console that provides organizations with complete control over their IGEL endpoints, saving time and resources, and reducing operating expenses. The IGEL UMS can be downloaded free of charge at www.myigel.com.

Much different today.  I just gave my HP Chromebook to my wife to take to the mountains so she could watch Downton Abby at the condo over WiFi.  I’m pretty particular about my browser these days as well (Brave as a rule). Looking forward to the next Gnome desktop release in October.

It takes all kinds and I enjoy multiple viewpoints.

Excerpt

Even in traditionally friendly territories, thin client hardware is beginning to be trumped by thin client apps, like Citrix Receiver and VMware View Client. That’s partially because the apps are practically free and can be installed on smartphones and other “thin” devices that are more portable (and more useful) than a static workstation that costs nearly as much as a new desktop. This plays into the whole “bring your own device” approach now being embraced by budget-conscious businesses that might have otherwise opted for thin clients in the past.

The HP Passport seems to be an aberration in all of this. It’s either a thin client for Web-based computing or Web TV for the office. IDG News’ Agam Shah reports that HP spokesman Jim Christiensen explained the Passport as a device intended for Internet cafés, libraries, or schools. “This is the first generation, we’ll see how it does.”

Considering that the Passport doesn’t have the lock-downs on it that those sorts of places want even from thin clients—controlling the length of user sessions or network access to printers, for example—I suspect it won’t do terribly well.

But maybe that’s just me. Haters gonna hate.

UK sales of IGEL thin clients up 78% year-on-year in first three quarters of 2014

IGEL Technology today announced year-on-year growth of 78% in its sales of thin clients for the first three-quarters of the calendar year, with strong demand coming from the healthcare sector.

Reading, UK. November 3, 2014: IGEL Technology today announced year-on-year growth of 78% in its sales of thin clients for the first three-quarters of the calendar year, with strong demand coming from the healthcare sector. IGEL Thin Client

“Many organisations are increasingly recognising the benefits of thin clients on the desktop, none more so than the healthcare sector,” said IGEL UK & Ireland Managing Director Simon Richards. “Our IGEL thin and zero clients work so well in a healthcare environment because they are easy to centrally manage, long-lasting, secure and incredibly cost effective.”

Cwm Taf University Health Board in Wales says it has radically cut its management time and energy costs with the deployment of 2,500 IGEL thin clients across its hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries and administration offices.

The health board has IGEL UD3 and UD5 Linux devices running a Windows 2008 desktop connected by Citrix XenApp 6 (soon to be upgraded to Citrix XenApp 6.5). There are 120 virtualised Citrix servers, using Citrix XenServer as the hypervisor.

As well as the desktops, the hospital is also using wireless connected IGEL thin clients on its medical carts on the wards. They connect to the network using a dongle via the USB port and are used by medical staff for viewing results and checking records.

“Initially there was some scepticism from staff about switching to the thin client devices but they quickly came around because of the small size, the fact that they boot very quickly and don’t need constant virus upgrades and anti-malware updates,” said John Probert, senior server manager at Cwm Taf University Health Board.

“Another benefit is that we do not suffer from thefts, as the devices are useless when taken off the network. We also do not have any patient data issues, as information cannot be stored locally on the device.”

Today, the health board has 2,500 IGEL thin clients in use out of a total of 4,500 desktops and is slowly moving across to the thin clients as old PCs are replaced.

Thin Client News – IGEL evolves Workspace Management with UMS 5

The fifth edition of the Universal Management Suite (UMS 5) makes remote management of IGEL clients more efficient and expands the standardized endpoint management system to include devices running Windows 7. This additional functionality (Unified Management Agent) will help IGEL enter the workspace management market above and beyond pure administration of IGEL hardware and software thin clients. In addition, customers can benefit from integrating the UMS into their existing enterprise management system with the new IGEL Management Interface.

 

Reading, UK. October 7, 2015 – With the new release of the Universal Management Suite 5 (UMS 5), IGEL is further reducing the cost and effort involved in endpoint management for customers and partners with two strategic innovations: The IGEL Unified Management Agent for Windows 7 and the IGEL Management Interface (IMI), which enables simple, optional integration of the UMS into an existing enterprise management system.

 

Administration of devices with Windows 7

The IGEL Unified Management Agent for Windows 7 enables devices with Windows Professional or Embedded Standard 7 installed to be remotely administered and securely centrally managed in the standardized UMS console, alongside thin and zero clients and PCs and notebooks with the IGEL Linux operating systems (software thin clients).

 

This new functionality is ideal for customers that want to continue to operate their PCs and notebooks with the Windows operating system but still want to benefit from the IGEL UMS central management capabilities. The Universal Management Agent for Windows 7 can be licensed and will be available in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

The IGEL Management Interface (IMI)

Using the optional IGEL Management Interface (IMI), the UMS 5 can now provide integrated endpoint management under an existing enterprise management system. As a standardized REST API, the UMS 5 allows large organizations or those with distributed offices to administer all IGEL thin and zero clients within their IT infrastructure quickly and easily by means of existing systems, such as Microsoft SCCM or IBM Tivoli.

 

The IMI is also suitable for system integrators and suppliers of Client as a service (Claas) or Desktop as a service (Daas) solutions to multiple customers.

 

UMS5: Modern look and feel, and more performance

Customers using the latest UMS 5, which comes as standard with all IGEL client solutions, will notice the new look & feel with modern designed icons, quickly followed by the enhanced performance. Navigation is faster thanks to a tree structure: Terminal devices, profiles and other infrastructure detail now load in the user interface far more quickly. IGEL has also added two additional languages and keyboard layouts for Spanish and Italian.

 

Functional improvements for everyday work

The practical tools that make administrators’ work even easier include new comparison and import functions. With comparison, differences between two configuration profiles can be seen at a glance, allowing older configurations to be quickly brought up-to-date. The import functionality means the current configuration of an IGEL client installed in the field can be imported as a profile into the UMS, so that it can be easily assigned to other clients or a client group by drag & drop.

 

“Our customers have loved our UMS Suite for many years, this latest version enables new functionality to deliver strategic IT change to customers,” said Simon Richard, IGEL Technology Managing Director for the UK & Ireland.  “UMS 5 has benefits to existing customers who have migrated to thin client but with the addition of the IMI and Universal Management Agent, we can now deliver the management they love, to the desktops they were never able to convert to thin clients. For those organizations that have Windows 7 PC’s or other vendors thin clients running Windows, we can now deliver our management platform without them having to throw away the existing hardware.”

 

“When I look back at thin client management 15 years ago, it was departmental management that ruled the day and that was all that was needed. IGEL has been the leader in taking thin client management into the enterprise customer for many years and with UMS 5, we are able to deliver increased value, functionality and flexibility to our existing customers and deliver a migration path for those organizations using competitor products.”

 

Price and availability

The new IGEL Universal Management Suite 5 (UMS 5) will ship with all IGEL thin and zero clients, as well as the thin client software IGEL Universal Desktop Converter 2 (UDC2) from October 14th 2015.

 

The IGEL Universal Management Agent will be available at the end of the month at a price of £30+vat per device including the 1st year’s maintenance and annual maintenance renewal at £14+vat.

Customers are able to administer all IGEL thin and zero clients within their IT infrastructure quickly and easily by means of existing systems, such as Microsoft SCCM or IBM Tivoli.

As well as offering enhanced ease of use, the IGEL Management Interface can also be used to implement new, customised workflows that have not previously been able to be mapped in the UMS console. As an API for REST-compatible programming languages, the IMI paves the way for integrating company-specific scripts or programs for administering IGEL clients. An IMI subscription license is required to use the IGEL Management Interface.

IMI is ideal for enterprise customers and larger companies with many branch offices. The solution is also suitable for system integrators and suppliers of Desktop and Client as a service (DaaS/Claas) solutions to multiple customers. Typical uses for the IGEL Management Interface include real-time information monitoring of equipment or for the compilation of important data and overviews in dashboards. In addition, it is also suitable to generate partially or fully automated workflows and to provide selected or reduced settings for administrators of sub-regions.

“For many years IGEL customers have used our UMS thin client management platform to manage Windows and Linux based thin clients at a deep granular level and yet provide Enterprise level, centralized control for zero touch rollouts, administration and updates,” said Simon Richards, IGEL Technology Managing Director for UK & Ireland. “However as the maturity of thin client technology has increased into Enterprise customers, there has been demand from larger organisations to integrate IGELs Universal Management Suite into their existing IT management framework platforms. This means that customers can use the best thin client management platform for thin devices and yet retain the technical skills and financial investment in their existing desktop management. With IGEL’s IMI we enable Connected Management.”

Licensing under a subscription model

IMI is based on a subscription model. An annual license is required to use the functions of the IGEL Management Interface together with the UMS. The license includes a software update service. Universal Management Suite 5.x is required for the additional functionality. When the annual license expires, IMI can continue to be used with the version last licensed.

Availability

The IGEL Management Interface is now available at a price of £7,450 plus value-added tax. The price includes the solution and an annual license. Annual renewal costs £2,499 plus value-added tax. IMI supports all IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients with a Linux or Windows Embedded operating system, IGEL zero clients and all terminal devices that have been standardized using the IGEL Universal Desktop Converter (UDC). The latest UMS 5 and IMI versions can be downloaded at www.myigel.biz.

Fusion EMM now combines mobile and fixed device management into a single product

VXL Fusion EMM combines mobile and fixed device management

Leading software developer VXL Software has launched the latest version of its device- management suite, Fusion EMM, which can now manage not only mobile devices but also desktop and laptop PCs, servers and network-connected devices.

VXL Software has released the latest version of its market-leading device-management suite, Fusion EMM. Previously aimed solely at mobile devices, Fusion EMM now incorporates the key functionality of its sister product, Fusion UDM Premium – including the ability to manage PCs, servers and network-connected devices.

According to VXL’s VP of worldwide sales, Frank Noon, this not only makes life easier for customers, it also significantly reduces costs. “The latest Fusion EMM is really two products in one,” says Noon, “mobile-device manager and fixed-device manager. Previously, this required two servers – with two sets of server licensing costs. Building the desktop-management capabilities of Fusion UDM Premium into Fusion EMM halves those costs, because only one server is needed.”

Fusion EMM can manage devices running VXL Linux, Windows 7 and 10 Professional, Windows Embedded 7, 8 and 10 IoT, Windows Mobile, Windows POS, Android, iOS and MacOS – all from a single console.

“Device management and support are vastly simplified,” says Noon. “The reality of today’s computing infrastructure is organisations use multiple devices – both mobile and fixed. Fusion EMM enables IT teams to manage all of them using one tool.”

Fusion EMM boasts a comprehensive feature set, including agentless discovery; application, browser, device, e-mail and content management; inventory, kiosk mode security; monitoring and analytics; organisational unit/group management; comprehensive security management – and much more.

VXL Software’s goal is to provide powerful device management at a very affordable price. “I’d say that our previous product was the best priced on the market,” says Noon, “but the new combination of mobile and fixed device management, without any increase in price – and massively reduced total cost of ownership – makes it unbeatable.”

Fusion EMM is available now.

Organisations wishing to try Fusion EMM can do so free, by downloading an evaluation copy from VXL Software’s website:http://www.vxlsoftware.com/evaluation

VXL Software is exhibiting at Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona, between 27 February–2 March, on stand 7M59 in hall 7 – where people can chat about lowering the cost of device management.

IGEL UD Pocket to Revolutionise Endpoint Management for Apple® Mac Computers

For the first time, IT organisations can now convert most 64-bit, x86-based Apple Mac computers into an IGEL OS-powered endpoint via the micro thin client solution

Reading, UK. Aug. 30, 2017 – IGEL, a world leader in endpoint management software for the secure enterprise, today announced that it is extending the capabilities of the IGEL UD Pocket™, and for the first time providing IT organisations with a smart, simple and secure way to leverage the IGEL OS on their users’ Apple® Mac computers.

IGEL Pocket UD

Click for full size

First introduced in December 2016, the IGEL UD Pocket is a flexible and cost-effective out-of-the-box micro thin client solution designed to improve the security of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives in organisations with remote or mobile workforces.

“With an increasing number of businesses and their workers opting to use Apple Macs due to their ease of use, flexibility and security, the IGEL UD Pocket with Mac support is a game changer for IGEL,” said Ainsley Brooks, IGEL’s UK & Ireland country manager. “Up until now, the only way that enterprises have been able to access the IGEL OS has been through their x86 Windows-based devices. The certification of the Apple Mac platform by IGEL was driven by customer demand to support their creative staff, contractors and executives who prefer this platform. By providing support for Mac computers through the IGEL UD Pocket, not only are we extending our addressable market opportunity, we are also helping our enterprise customers simplify the management of their endpoints by making it possible to securely administer x86-based PCs, thin clients, laptops and Mac-based endpoints via one central management console.”

 Ease of Management Lowers TCO for Businesses Leveraging IGEL on the Mac

Similar to all other IGEL OS-powered software-defined thin and zero clients, the IGEL UD Pocket is integrated into the IGEL Universal Management Suite™ (UMS), a centralised and secure remote management console that provides organisations with complete control over their IGEL endpoints, saving time and resources.

The combination of the IGEL UD Pocket for Mac and the IGEL UMS, can also reduce operating expenses due to the already lower total cost of ownership available through the Mac platform. For example, it was recently reported that when IBM began integrating the Apple Mac platform, it found within the first few months that only 5 percent of Mac equipped employees called their internal help desk for assistance, versus 40% of PC users.

Simple and Smart Design Promotes Enterprise-Level Security

Supporting enterprise-level security standards and protocols, the IGEL UD Pocket features two-factor authentication through external smart card readers or USB tokens, which prevents passwords from being lost, forgotten or intercepted by cybercriminals. “Two-factor authentication is especially important in vertical markets such as financial services and insurance, education and healthcare where workers may be roaming between multiple desks, offices or locations over the course of their workday,” continued Brooks.

Additionally, through the IGEL Cloud Gateway (ICG), which seamlessly authenticates the connection between the IGEL UD Pocket and IGEL UMS, IT organisations can provide end users with secure, anytime and anywhere access to their Citrix, VMware and Microsoft virtual desktops via a standard Internet connection, without the need for a virtual private network (VPN) or leased-line solution.

Technical Specifications and Requirements

With IGEL UD Pocket, IT organisations can convert most Apple Mac computers into an IGEL OS-powered endpoint, as long as they meet the minimum requirements of having a 64-bit, x86-based CPU, 2GB of RAM, 2GB of storage and UEFI boot capability. Key features available through the Apple Mac computers, and supported by the IGEL UD Pocket include Mac Keyboard, Mac Touchpad, most Wi-Fi, Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard.

Available in a USB 3.0 form factor with backward compatibility to USB 2.0, the IGEL UD Pocket measures 22.4mm x 12.2mm x 6mm and weighs 3 grams. The IGEL UD Pocket also features an industry-grade 8GB memory module, and the high-quality metal chassis is resistant to dust, shock and water.

Availability and Licensing

The IGEL UD Pocket can be purchased through IGEL channel partners in the UK for £89+vat. Licensing for the IGEL UD Pocket is assigned to the USB stick, independent of the MAC address of the target endpoint. This flexibility to roam from one device to another, along with regular IGEL firmware updates, offers IT organisations a simple solution for managing a diverse range of 64-bit x86 devices and Macs.

IGEL North America CEO Jed Ayres tells how one solution provider was able to save a customer $6.5 million in hardware upgrade costs by rolling out the company’s UD Pocket USB thin client.

By Jennifer Follett November 14, 2017, 04:28 PM EST

Long-time solution provider Jed Ayres is now over one year into his tenure as the CEO of IGEL North America. He spoke with CRN about the opportunity in edge computing and how the company’s UD Pocket micro thin-client device is helping solution providers capitalize on it. CRN Monday named the UD Pocket the winner of the2017 CRN Tech Innovators Awardin the PC – Workstations/Desktops/All-in-Ones category.

“There’s a revolution going on with the number of devices on the edge, in terms of just people starting to connect more things to the internet, and so there’s a renewed interest in edge computing. Everybody’s looking at it and realizing that there’s a lot of compute horsepower that’s going to happen at the edge,” Ayres said. “There are discussions of somewhere between 20 billion and 50 billion devices being connected to the internet by 2020, so there’s a big interest in terms of looking at what’s happening at the edge.”
