Reading, UK. 15th February 2016 – With a major hardware update, IGEL Technology is improving the performance of its UD3 thin and IZ3 zero clients. The IGEL devices will feature an AMD quad core processor from the Embedded G range (codename “Steppe Eagle”) with 1.2 – 1.6 GHz that will offer even more efficient access to virtual desktops and applications from Citrix, VMware and Microsoft. The new CPU will be backed by 2GB of DDR3L RAM memory for demanding multitask applications. The IGEL UD3’s slim housing will remain unchanged, apart from one new addition – a rear DisplayPort will enable users to work with high-resolution 4K displays. Together with proven features such as Dualview, USB 3.0 and an approximate 50% reduction in power consumption, IGEL is offering its customers more thin client for the same money.

The IGEL UD3 has been an established part of the IGEL hardware portfolio since 2009. During this time, the range has been constantly updated to provide the very best thin client user experience. With the latest update, IGEL is taking into account the growing demands now being placed on thin clients.

The UD3 will now come with a DisplayPort as well as a DVI-I connection, enabling efficient work on two monitors – even in the high-resolution 4k format with 4,096 x 2,160 pixels (DisplayPort) and a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 (DVI). Alternatively, the supplied DVI-VGA adapter allows analog monitors to be easily used. For even quicker, more convenient data transfer, there is a further USB 3.0 port on the front side of the device in addition to the four USB ports on the rear side (3 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.0).

Sound basis for the IGEL managed workspace

As always, the sector-leading IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) remote management software comes supplied with every device and allows standardized, secure remote administration as well as a quick rollout. All IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients, zero clients and software thin clients converted using the standardization software (UDC2) can be managed in the same manner. Windows 7 clients with the Unified Management Agent (UMA) installed on them fit just as seamlessly into the market-leading management solution. The overall package gives customers the unique opportunity to manage heterogeneous IT landscapes from different manufacturers and brands in a centralized, cost-effective VDI workspace management system.

Prices and availability

The IGEL UD3 LX with IGEL Linux is available for £322 and the IGEL UD3 W7+ with Windows Embedded 7 for £421. The equivalent IGEL IZ3 zero client range for dedicated access to virtualized desktops via Citrix HDX, Microsoft Remote FX or VMware Horizon is available from £292. All prices are net of vat and end-customer list prices.

Reg readers speak out on Thin Client technology

Good potential, but just one ingredient in the mix

Source: www.theregister.co.uk

Managing PC estates is a time-consuming, expensive and thankless task. Better provisioning and management tools can obviously help, but implementing one or more of the various forms of desktop virtualisation available nowadays may also be beneficial.

The virtualisation option, and particularly the use of hardware-based thin clients in that context, was the subject of a recent Reg reader survey. From this we learned that over their many years of existence, thin client devices have found their place in many environments.

Relevant types of users and use cases called out in relation to this (in respondents’ own words) include:

Thin Client – 2016 will be the year of the Management Workspace

IGEL_Managed_Workspace_doc

Click to Expand

The 2016 challenge IT managers: For the digital transformation or industry 4.0 they must on the one hand provide operative relief. On the other hand the maintenance rises during operation because workstation PCs stay longer in use. With a suitable workspace management strategy this paradox can be dissolve.

Bremen 14 January 2016 – IGEL Technology takes the issue of managed workspace in the new year, significant attention and is expanding its portfolio of solutions to this effect consistently. IT managers in companies and authorities would be so relieved in favor of strategic and complex projects within the digital transformation. These transfers IGEL decades of know-how in the management of Thin, Zero and software thin clients on global IT trends such as software-defined computing and unified management and thereby positions itself in the market for workspace management.

Against the background of a basic priority change in the IT towards digital transformation of business processes, smart products and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) or industry 4.0 say trend analyzes as the “IDC FutureScapes 2016” a significantly longer PC life beyond six years ahead. Technically this is possible: The hardware has become more robust and thanks to Windows 10 also has three-year-old machine a few years yet to come to terms with the previous requirements.

The flipside of the coin: the unabated high maintenance and management costs. There are local applications or user data on the PC, a rebuild will not infrequently after a hardware failure a half or whole day. An unplanned consequence of failures may jeopardize such an important project objectives.

Setting the course towards Unified Management

In order to relieve IT staff sustainably, IGEL applies the principle of “software-defined computing” in the workplace IT to: Use the secure, standardized and cost-effective Linux operating system Udc2 which, as it were for desktop PCs, notebooks, and thin clients of other manufacturers is, IGEL decouples the intelligence for remote access to centralized IT environments and cloud services sustained by the hardware. In combination with a profile-based management – the appropriate software IGEL UMS is included – occur uniformly remotely manageable work environments. These IGEL Managed Workspaces are after acute failure of the terminal – whether PC, laptop or thin client – reactivated within a few minutes on a hitherto unconfigured replacement hardware and ready for use.

A new step towards Unified Device Management undertook IGEL recently with the software UMA (Unified Management Agent), through which can be also PCs and notebooks with a local Windows 7 in the homogeneous UMS environment integrated.

“In the coming months and years, we want our Unified management approach to expand and further integrate device groups,” announced CEO Gloge. “We are setting up the ongoing changes to the workspace management provider consistently continue to an even greater extent to relieve ultimately end users and cloud service from unproductive tasks and increase productivity in IT.”

Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 die on Tuesday

That’s right, Internet Explorer’s old versions are finally losing support from Microsoft.

Source: thenextweb.com

Internet Explorer has long been the bane of many Web developers’ existence, but here’s some news to brighten your day: Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 are reaching ‘end of life’ on Tuesday, meaning they’re no longer supported by Microsoft.

 

A patch, which goes live on January 12, will nag Internet Explorer users on launch to upgrade to a modern browser. KB3123303 adds the nag box, which will appear for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 users still using the old browsers after installing the update.

 

It’s great news for developers who still need to target older browsers — not needing to worry about whether or not modern CSS works in these browsers is a dream, and it’s much closer with this move.

 

End of life means the browsers will no longer receive security updates or any other kind of patches, leaving those running them wide open to new vulnerabilities in the future.

 

What’s even bigger about the end of life for these versions is that this means Internet Explorer 11 is the last version of Microsoft’s old browser that’s left supported, as the company continues to transition customers to Edge on Windows 10.

Remix OS is Android for the desktop, and it works with nearly any PC

Last year at CES, we mocked a company called Jide for creating a blatant Microsoft Surface clone. Well, this year they’ve come back with something new — and they’ve also returned much richer. See,…

Source: www.theverge.com

Here’s what’s new at CES today: now you can run Remix OS on any x86 PC (or, in my case, Mac). For free. You can download a system image from the company and toss it onto a USB 3.0 stick, or there’s also the option of making a partition on your computer for a more permanent partition. I simply booted off the SanDisk flash drive they gave me, and within a couple minutes, I was at the Remix OS home screen. It’ll take more time for me to determine whether or not I’d ever consider using this regularly. Even now, my Chromebook rarely gets any use. It’s basically an internet device that lives on my couch.

But in a way, maybe this is what Chrome OS should be. Or, it’s definitely what some people hoped it would become; a productivity-focused take on Android that runs Android apps like they’re desktop apps. Done. Even better, the Jide team is committed to updating the OS constantly. We might’ve chastised these ex-Googlers for what they showed last year. But at this CES? I think I’m pretty into what they’re doing.

Thin Client & Terminal Client 2015 Outlook Lowered – Project Delays Emerging Market Issues – IDC

The global thin and terminal client market deteriorated during the third quarter of 2015, declining -6.7% year over year, according to the IDC Worldwi

Source: www.businesswire.com

Combined with some persistent factors that negatively affected the market, including budget constraints that delayed major shipments in Asia/Pacific, the emerging markets continued to lag behind mature markets in terms of shipments and projected growth rates going forward. Furthermore, although the market is increasingly accepting of virtualized client computing, devices such as repurposed PCs and even Chromebooks in some cases, pose viable threats to mainstream thin client purchases.

In light of these challenges, IDC expects 2015 shipments to be more subdued than previously forecast, reaching just 5.1 million units for the year, a drop of more than -6% compared to 2014. IDC expects shipments to return to steady growth from 2016 through 2019, reaching 6.4 million units in 2019.

“Shipments in 2015 are expected to decline more than -6% year over year,” said Jay Chou, Research Manager, IDC Worldwide PC & Enterprise Client Device Tracker. “Beyond 2016, we remain optimistic that growth rates will pick up as another cycle of business refresh should fuel renewed growth.”
