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.
“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.”
The IGEL UD Pocket recognized by CRN for innovation, creativity and unique features that help solution providers solve end users’ IT challenges.

IGEL UD Pocket is a groundbreaking micro thin client device which enables remote and mobile workers to access cloud services, server-based computing applications and virtual desktops by plugging a tiny device into any x86 machine, including Macs. After connecting to the internet, it automatically integrates into the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) for secure remote support, deployment and management. UD Pocket extends the functionality of existing hardware by enabling a second tightly managed operating system to run on an endpoint. Once the user has finished accessing their virtual desktop environment through the IGEL UD Pocket, they can simply reboot their principal OS and return to the original desktop. UD Pocket delivers any device, any application and any cloud solution that is foundational to a modern, mobile, software defined thin client solution.
IGEL UD3 thin clients now deliver advanced security features, powerful endpoint management capabilities and high performance multimedia functionality.

Being part of an IT department involves a 360 degree commitment to ordinary and extraordinary infrastructure management activities. These activities may, however, prove to be onerous in terms of time and resources to employ. For this reason, it is important to use tools that allow the IT department to perform these operations as quickly as possible.

thin client management –
In a sense, having an easy-to-manage infrastructure has always been the true target of the IT departments in all companies, although management simplicity does not have to translate into a bottleneck of performances perceived by end users and reflecting on overall productivity.
The main requirement in this digital transformation scenario is to provide solutions that optimise the corporate information environment and reduce the TCO, the total cost of ownership, while at the same time being able to grant and improve overall IT infrastructure performance.

Updated management software provides IT organisations with visibility into USB and Bluetooth assets connected to IGEL OS-powered endpoints; offers a migration path to third-party asset management tools
Reading, UK. Aug. 31, 2017 – IGEL, a world leader in endpoint management software for the secure enterprise, announced today that it has updated the IGEL Universal Management Suite® (UMS) to include Asset Inventory Tracker (AIT) capabilities.
“By integrating the Asset Inventory Tracker into the IGEL UMS, IT organisations can now gain a clear view of all peripheral devices connected to their IGEL OS-powered endpoints,” said Ainsley Brooks, IGEL’s UK & Ireland country manager. “This feature is especially important in the healthcare, retail and financial services industries where IT organisations need insight into the changes in their distributed assets and computer infrastructure to ensure business continuity.”
Centralised View of Connected Assets
IGEL UMS 5.07.100 provides IT organisations with a centralised, current view of all USB and Bluetooth assets connected to their IGEL OS-powered endpoints. Details available via the IGEL UMS dashboard include which endpoint the asset is connected to, the type of asset, the manufacturer and the model number.
“Having access to this level of detail can help IT organisations eliminate confusion regarding available asset inventory,” said Brooks. “It also can prevent the use of unauthorised peripheral devices, and can reduce capital expenditures related to the replacement of lost and/or broken peripheral devices.”
Connect to Third-Party Asset Management Solutions with IGEL UMS
For more advanced functionality, the newly enhanced IGEL UMS version 5.07.100 can also provide IT organisations with the ability to connect to third-party asset management tools via an integrated programming interface based on the industry standard REST API.
“When IT organisations leverage the IGEL UMS in combination with external asset management tools and software to collect more comprehensive data on the USB and Bluetooth assets that are connected to their IGEL OS-powered endpoints, they can experience even greater security and control over their desktop infrastructure,” said Brooks.
Availability
To experience the features of the IGEL Asset Inventory Tracker, IT organisations must upgrade their IGEL UMS to version 5.07.100. This latest version of the IGEL UMS is compatible with all IGEL Universal Desktop™ thin clients, IGEL IZ™ zero clients, the IGEL UD Pocket™ micro thin clients loaded with IGEL OS version 10.03.100 or later. Additionally, the IGEL UMS can be leveraged on third-party, 64-bit x86-based endpoint devices converted into IGEL OS-powered endpoints using the IGEL Universal Desktop Converter™ (UDC3).

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.
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.

VMware has specifically optimized its solutions for Skype for Business, particularly within virtual desktop environments. This optimization addresses the unique challenges of running real-time audio and video communications over Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), where traditional centralized processing can degrade performance and user experience.
Collaboration with Microsoft: VMware and Microsoft have worked together to develop a seamless experience for Skype for Business users on VMware Horizon virtual desktops145.
VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business: This solution offloads audio and video processing from the virtual desktop to the user’s endpoint device. By doing so, it reduces the load on datacenter infrastructure and improves call quality and responsiveness2356.
How It Works:
The Horizon Media Proxy (installed on the virtual desktop) and the Horizon Media Engine (installed on the endpoint) work together.
When a Skype for Business audio or video call is initiated, the media engine processes all media locally and sends the real-time transport protocol (RTP) streams directly between endpoints, bypassing the virtual desktop’s resources568.
This approach enables direct peer-to-peer media delivery, ensuring high-quality communication and minimal latency469.
Benefits:
Improved User Experience: Users get native Skype for Business audio and video quality, even in virtualized environments356.
Reduced Infrastructure Load: Media processing is handled at the endpoint, freeing up datacenter resources and minimizing network bandwidth usage457.
Consistent Experience Across Devices: The solution supports a range of client devices, ensuring a uniform experience regardless of endpoint platform46.
The VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack is recommended for organizations deploying Skype for Business in VDI environments23.
The optimization is not available for Skype for Business Basic clients2.
Initial support focused on Windows clients, with plans to expand to other platforms over time56.
| Feature | VMware Optimization for Skype for Business |
|---|---|
| Audio/Video Offload | Yes (to endpoint device) |
| Collaboration with Microsoft | Yes |
| Impact on Datacenter Resources | Reduced |
| Peer-to-Peer Media Delivery | Yes |
| Supported Clients | Initially Windows, expanding to others |
| Skype for Business Basic Client Support | Not supported |
VMware has actively optimized its Horizon platform for Skype for Business, working closely with Microsoft to deliver a high-quality, efficient, and scalable unified communications experience in virtual desktop environments. The VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business is the primary solution, providing direct media offload and peer-to-peer delivery to ensure optimal performance and user satisfaction234569.
