“We wanted to provide smooth and intuitive multimedia and internet services to our users at the desktop."

"If you put the time and eff ort to learn the UMS, it’s an excellent tool and makes life really easy. The beauty is you can make confi guration changes which can be rolled out to all devices in minutes not hours. For example, a fi rmware update can be …

"And, because IGEL and Citrix work very well together, the combination of the Linux-based IGEL OS and Citrix VDI makes a lot of sense for them.”

"We looked at competitive products but they were a bit clunky. We wanted something which offered a good end-user experience, fast login into VDI, was simple to manage and which runs smoothly on each machine. That’s what IGEL delivers.”

“We studied reference case studies as well as undertaking our own tests of various thin client brands.”

“We need around 100 thin clients so that our therapists can play back recordings of meetings with adequate quality via the network or locally.”

“Given that our workload was increasing, we began thinking about how we could permanently minimize operational tasks about two years ago. We also wanted to have more time for strategic tasks in the future.”

"The IGEL devices are smaller, faster to deploy, use less energy and are easier to use than the old PCs.”

“We ran a development of the web application, which took longer than we thought. But for the actual roll-out of IGEL the switch was made at 66 places. At the same time we changed screens/ monitors at most of the places. We have about 40 local IT-supports, which are run …

"Our new leadership team knows best-of-breed IT solutions are required to deliver a responsive online service, particularly to tech-savvy members. The public want things immediately, which requires infrastructure that is fast, secure and functional.”

"Because there are very few or zero moving parts with the IGEL hardware, is very reliable. We’ve had only one failure out of more than 1,400 thin clients deployed since implementing IGEL more than two years ago. The German engineering is rock solid.”

"I also think it is important to note that IGEL has always been ‘all in’ with Strayer, working with us to develop and update the products to make them better to meet our unique needs and requirements. Endpoint computing is their main line of business and that makes a huge …

"Our client took a significant hit from malware and the IGEL came to the rescue. Within a few hours, we had an entire department up and running on the IGEL Linux OS, and because we didn’t have to wipe the machines’ data, integrity on the hardware was maintained.”

“Traditional PCs run up high maintenance and operating costs even though they are underutilized in terms of capacity. We don‘t need huge processing power at each workstation. By virtualizing both the applications and the thin clients, we have improved efficiency and are making both direct and indirect savings.”

“We have been working with thin clients for almost 15 years. When we switched to the cloud, we used thin clients by Samsung that ran Windows XP and Citrix. However, our new cloud environment did not provide any support for Citrix. This resulted in audio and video issues on the …
