IGEL to Showcase Long-Standing VMware Alliance during VMworld 2019

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces, today announced that it will be featuring its suite of software solutions that integrate with VMware to provide seamless support for cloud workspaces during VMworld 2019, taking place August 25-29, in San Francisco, booth #1563.

An event silver sponsor and VMware Advanced Technology Alliance Partner (TAP), IGEL enables companies to standardize their VMware virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and cloud-delivered workspaces with IGEL-powered software defined endpoints that feature adaptive configuration and granular control.  With VMware, IGEL enables organizations to provide users with a familiar, trouble free workspace they can access from anywhere, and at any time.

"IGEL's technology alignment with VMware goes back decades," said Jed Ayres, President and CEO, IGEL North America. "Our close collaboration ensures that IGEL-powered endpoints are VMware compatible, and that they are also optimized with the seamless integration that delivers high performance, security and availability within today's modern workspaces. We are pleased to showcase our next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces during VMworld 2019 alongside key technology partners who are furthering VMware's capabilities at and to the endpoint."

The Power of IGEL and VMware Solutions, Together

During VMworld 2019, IGEL will host multiple Solution Exchange Theater presentations which discuss the value of using VMware with IGEL-enabled endpoints. These sessions will include:

• Case Study: How Memorial Hermann Transformed Their End-User Computing Experience on Monday, August 26, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Memorial Hermann, one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in Southeast Texas, was transitioning from a physical desktop infrastructure to a VDI with VMware Horizon. This session showcases how they turned to IGEL to realize inherent security features, scalability, and ease of management. As a result, they have seen a reduction in support calls and have been able to do more with less while improving end-user experience.
  
  
• Best Practices for Transforming the End-User Computing Experience, Reducing Complexity and Improving Security at the Endpoint on Monday, August 26, from 4:50 to 5:10 p.m. During this session, attendees will learn how IGEL is working with VMware to accelerate the delivery of virtualized applications and desktops through VMware Workspace ONE leveraging IGEL's next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces. With this combined solution, workers can securely access their applications and desktops from virtually any location or device, while corporate IT retains full management and control of its corporate endpoints.

Expanding the End User Experience with IGEL Ecosystem Partners

IGEL will also be featuring a host of presentations from its ecosystem partners in the IGEL Innovation Booth Theater in booth #1563. Attendees are welcome to stop by and hear from subject matter experts who will explore how VMware users can further the performance and productivity of their virtualized applications, desktops, and cloud workspaces:

We look forward to presenting in the IGEL Innovation Theater during VMworld on how our digital experience monitoring solution, SysTrack, helps IT teams not only right-size IGEL and other technologies, but also identify which hardware can be repurposed and how to optimize end-user experience."
