10ZiG Are Amongst the Fastest Growing Thin & Zero Client Leaders in the UK

10ZiG Technology Announces 63.2% Year-Over-Year Growth in Sales for 2014

Leicester, UK – UK based dedicated Thin and Zero Client manufacturer 10ZiG Technology Ltd have seen a 63.2% increase in year-over-year sales in 2014. The 10ZiG European Head Office has just experienced its busiest and most successful year in its 12 year history after expanding its presence across EMEA. With an equally impressive first quarter, the UK office is already forecasting similar growth for 2015.

The increase has been seen across 10ZiG’s entire Thin and Zero Client range, including dual screen, quad screen and All-in-One hardware, as well as their 10ZiG NoTouch Desktop Repurposing Software, used to breathe new life into old PC’s, laptops, notebooks and Thin Clients.

UK and European businesses are choosing 10ZiG Technology as their Thin and Zero Client vendor of choice because of our dedication to developing customer-driven solutions.  At 10ZiG we consistently strive to make our devices fit our customers’ environments and not the other way round,” said Kevin Greenway, 10ZiG’s EMEA Managing Director. “Our hardware, including our new industry leading Quad Core Thin and Zero Clients are optimised to provide the highest-levels of performance with VMware, Citrix & Microsoft, and supporting the latest and greatest advancements of the PCoIP and HDX Technologies.  Our products are backed up with the most personal Sales and Support service on the market, and our 100% cost free, unlimited user license 10ZiG Management Utility”.

Don’t take their word for it: Here are some of 10ZiG Technology Ltd.’s customers explaining the reasons behind choosing 10ZiG as their Thin and Zero Client vendor…

Stewart Hall, Head of Infrastructure at Brent Borough Council.

“We have recommended 10ZiG to other councils on a number of occasions. They ask me how to determine which vendor/product is the best, and I tell them to make sure that the vendor has a team like 10ZiG in the background. Right from the start 10ZiG showed evidence that they were willing to work outside the box for us and cared about our project. The Thin Clients have been spot-on as well, proving to be extremely reliable with low failure rates. It was a good business decision choosing 10ZiG and we are definitely happy customers”.

 

David Kelly, IT Director at QHotels.
“Another feather in 10ZiG’s cap is their level of personal service. They have continued to show that they are a company we are happy to do business with. It has also been refreshing that from the POC stage through to post-sales support, I have received a very personal level of contact throughout. Other companies chop and change Account Managers regularly so it has been great to keep that relationship going with a group of individuals at 10ZiG.”

 

Janet Lines, Network Manager at South Bromsgrove High School.
“10ZiG helped us break new boundaries into the world of desktop virtualisation, helping to seamlessly create a working environment for our students which totally exceeded our expectations. Not only by providing us with an excellent product but also by working closely with us in developing exciting new features for the future. I am a firm believer that people make a company, and working with both 10ZiG staff and products has been a very positive experience. Not only would I recommend 10ZiG, I already have done on a number of occasions when we have had visitors.”

Thin Client – IGEL presents the Unified Management Agent

With the help of the Unified Management Agent (UMA), any end devices IGEL Thin Client with the Windows 7 operating system can be remotely managed in a standardized manner using the sector-leading IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS).

Reading, UK. 09 November 2015 – IGEL Technology is entering the market for workspace management with its new Unified Management Agent (UMA) software product launched today. Designed for all users of Windows 7-based VDI client systems, the Unified Management Agent is aimed at three main user groups: users of desktops and notebooks with the Windows 7 operating system, customers with Windows Embedded Standard 7-based thin clients who are looking for a comprehensive management solution and IGEL customers who use thin clients alongside Windows 7 desktops. Regardless of the desktop scenario, the UMA now allows all Windows 7 devices to be managed easily and securely via the Universal Management Suite (UMS).

The product allows businesses and government agencies, as well Desktop as a Service (DaaS) and Client as a Service (ClaaS) providers to standardize client management within their organisation. The IGEL Unified Management Agent is available with an annual license per client.

“We’ve been further developing and improving the IGEL Universal Management Suite ever since it was first released. The Unified Management Agent marks a new chapter and makes the UMS significantly more versatile. Thanks to the UMA, customers with a W7-based infrastructure who are currently unable to use a thin client management solution gain access to market-leading management software, which they can now use even on systems that are no longer supported by the supplier. In the long term, we’d like to establish a standard for modern workspace management in a VDI context with the UMA and the UMS as a central interface,” said Simon Richards, Managing Director for IGEL UK and Ireland.

The Unified Management Agent (UMA) is installed on or distributed directly to the relevant Windows 7 devices. These can then be conveniently administered with the familiar look and feel of the IGEL UMS. This ranges from managing VDI sessions and modifying the user interface to Windows management and security-related settings. This way, heterogeneous client environments can easily be harmonized and any island solutions become a thing of the past. There is no need to modify or convert the existing Windows operating system on a third-party device.

Naturally, the UMA supports the three most popular virtual session types – Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp, VMware Horizon and MS RDP. The simple management of VDI client module updates was also an important consideration in the development of the product. As is usually the case with IGEL, these take place in a centralized, remote manner via the UMS and also include Microsoft RemoteApp.

Within the Windows 7 system, Internet Explorer and the user interface can be modified and network settings, printer management and selected security and system management functions can be configured. The combination of UMA and UMS also allows other benefits such as VNC remote assistance for support and helpdesks, for example, without the need for additional software because these functions are available free of charge in the UMS. At the same time, it offers sophisticated secure shadowing (VNC) including logging and the group-based allocation of rights.

 Price and availability

The IGEL Unified Management Agent (UMA) is available now for £30.00 plus VAT. The price includes the solution itself as well as an annual license for one device. Annual subscription extensions cost £14.00 plus VAT. The Universal Management Suite 5 (UMS 5), which also comes supplied free of charge, is required in order to use the UMA. There are plans to expand the Unified Management Agent for Windows 10-based systems in 2016.

### Die gesamte Endpoint-Infrastruktur im Griff: Mithilfe des Unified Management Agent (UMA) von IGEL Technology lassen sich beliebige Endgeräte mit Windows 7 Betriebssystem über die branchenführende IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) einheitlich fernverwalten. ###

Der Einsatzradius des Unified Management Agent umspannt drei Hauptzielgruppen: Nutzer von Desktops und Notebooks mit Windows 7-Betriebssystem, Kunden mit Windows Embedded Standard 7 basierten Thin Clients, auf der Suche nach einer umfassenden Management-Lösung und schließlich IGEL-Kunden, die neben Thin Clients auch Windows 7-Desktops im Einsatz haben. Unabhängig von der Ausgangssituation können dank UMA ab sofort alle genannten Windows 7-Devices einfach und sicher durch die Universal Management Suite (UMS) verwaltet werden. IGEL schafft damit die einzigartige Möglichkeit, das Client Management in Unternehmen und Behörden nachhaltig zu standardisieren.

Der IGEL Unified Management Agent (UMA) ist ab sofort für 39,- Euro zzgl. MwSt. verfügbar. Der Preis beinhaltet die Lösung selbst sowie eine Jahreslizenz für ein Gerät. Eine Verlängerung der Subscription um ein weiteres Jahr innerhalb der vorgegebenen Frist kostet 19,- Euro zzgl. MwSt. Vorrausetzung für die Nutzung des UMA ist die Universal Management Suite 5 (UMS 5), die ebenfalls kostenfrei im Lieferumfang enthalten ist.

Thin client market gets even thinner, down seven per cent in a year

Blame the government, not Windows 10. And keep an eye on China

Source: www.theregister.co.uk

The firm thinks the dip is attributable to economic factors, rather than a loss of interest in thin clients or desktop virtualisation (VDI). Lower public sector spending, in particular, slowed demand for a product often associated with locking down desktops in ways deemed useful by organisations with unusual security requirements.

Normally, HP ThinPro OS interface is configured in a kiosk mode, as the concept of a thin/zero client is based on using a thick client to connect to another resource. For this purpose, a standard user does not need to authenticate to the thin client per se and would just need to perform a connection – e.g. VMware Horizon View. The user will eventually authenticate through the connection.
 

The point of this blog post is to demonstrate that a malicious actor can compromise such thin clients in a trivial and quick way provided physical access, a standard prerequisite in an attack against a kiosk.

Chrome OS Running Windows Apps

Chrome OS

From SlashGear Jun2020

It may not be Google’s OS but Chrome OS is truly shaping up to be the one OS to rule them all. It can already run software from Android and Linux in addition to its own native web-based Chrome apps and soon it will add what may be the most important set of apps for users. Full Windows applications are coming to some Chromebooks but those will be running via a third-party solution and only to a very select few Chrome OS users.

That solution is Parallels’ virtualization software that has, for years, allowed Windows applications to run on Macs. Unlike the open source WINE software, virtualization pretty much creates a layer, a virtual Windows computer so to speak, between the Windows application and the underlying real operating system. It guarantees better compatibility with foreign apps, in this case, Windows apps, but at the cost of some performance.

Powered by the IGEL OS 11 operating system, the IGEL Workspace Edition demonstrates, once again, that IGEL is leading the industry in its software-first approach and ability to standardise, manage and secure any complex end user computing ecosystem.

IGEL Revolutionises Cloud Workspace Endpoint Management with IGEL OS 11

 Flexible software licensing options de-couple the hardware from the software, making it easier and more cost-effective than ever to sell, manage, and support IGEL’s software-defined endpoint solutions

Reading, UK. Jan. 24, 2019 – IGEL, a world leader in software-defined endpoint optimisation and control solutions for the secure enterprise, today launched the IGEL Workspace Edition. Powered by the IGEL OS 11 operating system, the IGEL Workspace Edition demonstrates, once again, that IGEL is leading the industry in its software-first approach and ability to standardise, manage and secure any complex end user computing ecosystem. Being unveiled today at the 2019 IGEL DISRUPT End User Computing Forum event in Munich, Germany, the IGEL Workspace de-couples the hardware from the software through new, flexible and transferable software licensing options that are designed to increase the value of endpoints while simplifying their acquisition, control and management.

“With the launch of the IGEL Workspace, we’ve made endpoint management and control even easier and more cost-effective than ever before,” said Simon Townsend, IGEL Chief Marketing Officer for EMEA. “First, we revolutionised endpoint management, bringing simplicity and uniformity to complex VDI ecosystems. Now we’re revolutionising endpoint acquisition, ownership, and support, a move that we believe is going to be very exciting for both our partners and customers, and one that will make a tremendous impact on their ability to secure, optimise and control the endpoint.”

Shifting Priorities Prompt Need to Redefine Endpoint Acquisition and Ownership

IGEL is the only full-offering software-defined endpoint management solution that supports the assignment and transfer of licences to any compatible x86 machine, regardless of manufacturer. By separating the software licence from hardware and pricing, IGEL is maximising flexibility for its partners and customers by making it easier to acquire and manage a diverse range of endpoints.

“We’ve always been a software-first company,” continued Townsend. “Now with the upswing in user mobility, BYOD, IoT and desktop-as-a-service (DaaS), endpoint devices are proliferating and IT is moving toward software-defined, cloud, and ‘pay as you go’ subscription and consumption licences. Subscription-based is the modern way by which organisations buy software.”

 New Features Make Endpoints Simpler to Manage, Easier to Sell

With the IGEL Workspace, partners and customers will benefit from several features in the IGEL OS 11 that make endpoints simpler to manage. These include:

  • New, modern product structure simplifies endpoint acquisition, provides customers with more choice and flexibility, and offers greater value for the investment.
  • New cloud-based software licensing makes it easy for customers to manage all their endpoint licences, with complete insight.
  • Licence roaming supports the migration of software licences between any compatible x86 devices for greater flexibility and even more hardware cost containment
  • New support offerings fit the needs of any enterprise and complements the new product structure to give customers complete confidence in their end user computing environment.
  • New and modern IGEL OS device interface during boot up and for those who log directly into an IGEL OS 11 powered device.
  • Expanded partner ecosystem, now 80+ partners strong and growing, helps ensure effective IGEL-driven solutions support a vast range of IT and user environments.

Additionally, with the IGEL Workspace, partner organisations will receive transferable licensing and bundled value-added features that make it easier to sell. “Our new subscription licensing model complements the existing perpetual licensing model that our partners and customers are used to. This will also drive more transactions  to naturally cultivate recurring relationships with their customers,” said Simon Richards, Chief Sales Officer, IGEL.

Unique Licencing Model Drives Flexibility; Minimises Expenses

IGEL’s software-first approach makes it easy for IT organisations to acquire and manage endpoints, regardless of whether they have 10 or 10,000 users. With the IGEL Workspace, partners and customers can transfer both the perpetual and the subscription upgrade licensing to any new or existing x86 device.

“What was once very easy to operate and manage is now also very simple to purchase and own, while providing even greater value to our customers,” continued Richards. “Not only are we minimising hardware expenses for our customers and partners by providing them with the industry’s most powerful and most intuitive endpoint management platform, they can also enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that they will get constant updates from 80+ integrated technology partners. Ultimately, this enables them to maintain full-featured functionality with the broadest array of endpoint ecosystem partner offerings.”

With the IGEL Workspace, customers can also install or transfer both the perpetual licence and the subscription option. Some of the new features specific to IGEL OS 11 include a switching feature and profile support for IGEL Universal Desktop, IGEL UD Pocket and the IGEL UDC using the same firmware across all devices; enhanced display switching feature that supports complex configurations with more than two screens; and, auto-DPI for 4K displays.

The Enterprise Management Pack software subscription includes the IGEL Cloud Gateway (ICG) and other value-added capabilities.  A suite of new enterprise class support offerings complements the new product capabilities.  Select, Priority, and Priority Plus support packages provide a good-better-best approach to support from which customers can choose the support package that works best for them.  The base Select support is included with software maintenance.

Availability

The new IGEL Workspace is available now, and IGEL OS 11 is now being offered to customers as a “tech preview” through a free, 30-day trial.

BYOD management – Fusion UDM Premium ‘device management for everyone

With the latest release of Fusion UDM (Universal Device Manager) BYOD Management Premium, VXL Software brings enterprise-class device management within the reach of almost every business.

Device management isn’t new – but until now it’s only typically been within the reach of larger organisations – those which enjoy big IT budgets and employ sizeable IT teams. The new version of VXL Software’s Fusion UDM Premium aims to level the playing field.

“Our aim with Fusion UDM Premium is to break down the barriers to ownership of enterprise-class management products,” says VXL Software’s VP of Sales, Frank Noon.

Fusion UDM Premium offers the kind of device management power that large corporations expect, but with lower, simpler pricing.

“Our customers tell us that mainstream device management software can be complicated to budget for and may have many hidden costs. With VXL Software’s Fusion UDM Premium, costs are straightforward and nothing is hidden. Each Fusion UDM Premium licence is perpetual – it lasts for the life of the device. For the first year, access to our world-class support is an affordable percentage of the licence fee – and is optional thereafter. And that’s it.”

Lower prices don’t mean a cut-down product. According to Noon, Fusion UDM Premium “compares very favourably with the market leaders, feature-for-feature”.

This combination of simple pricing, low costs and powerful features opens up device management to companies of almost every size – and is especially attractive to those organisations which have small IT teams, supporting perhaps 100–1,000 users, but would like to enjoy the same device management as large enterprises.

VXL Software’s Fusion UDM Premium enables organisations to control their inventory, ensure software licensing compliance, manage security, predict and manage hardware failures, roll out upgrades and patches with ease – and much more. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) support, currently in development, will be added free for users who buy now.

Fusion UDM Premium supports the management of devices running VXL Linux, Android, Windows Embedded, Windows POS – and is future-upgradeable, at no cost, to support iOS, OS X and Windows Mobile.

“Fusion UDM Premium doesn’t just deliver powerful device management,” concludes Noon. “It’s available at a price that’s unquestionable value. Our calculations, using industry-standard metrics, show that companies can achieve a full return on investment in under four months.”

VXL Software’s Fusion UDM Premium is available now, with Bring Your Own Device support available as a free upgrade later this year. Full product details are available fromwww.vxlsoftware.com.

VXL Software’s Fusion EMM to cut the cost of mobility management

VXL Software’s Fusion EMM to cut the cost of mobility management fusion_emm_software  

Manchester, United Kingdom Leading developer of software and hardware solutions, VXL, has today released Fusion EMM (enterprise mobility management), the company’s latest product – offering mobile device management for Android and iOS devices. Android- and iOS-based devices comprise just over 99% of the world market for smartphones, according to recent research by Gartner.                                                                              

Fusion EMM is a browser-based solution which can be provided either as a hosted service, or installed on a company’s network. It is designed to provide end-to-end management of Android and iOS tablets and smartphones – enabling IT departments to easily provision devices, add or update applications, manage access to corporate content, strengthen device security and much more. 

Fusion EMM complements VXL Software’s Fusion UDM Premium, the company’s device management suite for desktops, laptops and thin clients. 

According to VXL’s VP for Worldwide Sales, Frank Noon, Fusion EMM can dramatically reduce the cost of managing mobile devices. “Fusion EMM typically offers more features than comparable products,” says Noon, “but at a far lower price-point. This, along with our perpetual licensing structure, can make a significant difference to the cost of enterprise mobility management.” 

Fusion EMM supports recent versions of both iOS and Android on mobile phones and tablets. 

Not only does Fusion EMM provide mobility management and security, it also helps organisations to speed up the accurate auditing of hardware inventory. Noon believes that Fusion EMM also scores highly in terms of its ease of use. “Managing devices of any type can be not only expensive, but also complex and time-consuming. We’ve worked hard so that administrators can do most things with just a few clicks.”

Fusion EMM is available in two versions, Gold – at US $39 per device – and Platinum – at US $49 per device – with annual support available on either at an affordable cost. 

“For some companies,” says Noon, “this can cut their mobility management software costs in half. When you’re managing hundreds or thousands of devices, that’s a significant saving.”

Fujitsu Launches a New Enterprise Thin Client Model

Fujitsu Launches a New Enterprise Thin Client Model

Fujitsu Thin Client Fujitsu has announced the release of a new thin model PC to the Fujitsu Thin Client Future lineup, the Futro S740/

The Futro S740 features an updated, ultra-small desktop chassis in a new compact design.

The size of the chassis for the S740 has been reduced by about 63% compared with the previous S720 model, while maintaining the same level of interface expandability, delivering support for features such as WiFi, USB and external displays.

With the addition of a custom made mount kit, it is now also possible to attach the client chassis directly to the VESA mount of an LCD display, allowing users to maximise their use of work station space.

Fujitsu devices include features that are designed to reduce security risks, including unauthorised access on account of third party identity fraud and data leaks resulting from USB memory stick connections or other external devices.

Personal authentication using fingerprints or palm veins prevents unauthorised access even in the case of leaked ID and passwords.

The Fujitsu Thin Client Futro S740 is available now from $598.
