Appliance functionality

Igel Technology has available a broad range of Linux-based thin client models supporting the Citrix XenDesktop Appliance standard.

The standard ensures that any compliant access device connected to Citrix XenDesktop behaves exactly like a normal PC.

Igel’s firmware upgrade allows all Linux-based Igel thin clients to be switched with just one mouse click from a traditional Igel Universal Desktop to a tightly defined virtual PC using ICA to access Citrix XenDesktop.

Igel’s universal desktop means that organisations wanting to implement other digital services in addition to ICA, such as web, VoIP or SAP, can always do so in the future.

The switch to XenDesktop mode can be implemented remotely using the bundled remote management suite software.

The range available with this Linux firmware includes traditional desktop designs, PC upgrade cards, 19" LCD integrated units and quad screen units.
