Reading UK: IGEL has introduced the IGEL Cloud Gateway, a simple, smart and secure software solution that supports anytime, anywhere management of IGEL OS-powered endpoint devices via a standard Internet connection.
Extending the IGEL Universal Management Suite to endpoints located beyond the corporate network, the IGEL Cloud Gateway seamlessly authenticates the connection and securely transfers data between the IGEL UMS and any x86-based device converted into an IGEL-powered endpoint with the IGEL Universal Desktop Converter (UDC), as well as the recently introduced IGEL UD Pocket, all without the need for a virtual private network (VPN) or leased-line solution.
“With a growing number of workers across all vertical markets including government, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and retail accessing their desktops, applications and data from home or other locations outside their corporate networks, concern over security breaches remains high,” said Ainsley Brooks, IGEL’s UK & Ireland country manager. “The IGEL Cloud Gateway addresses these concerns, harnessing the power of the IGEL Universal Management Suite and IGEL OS to close security gaps created by Internet-based communications taking place beyond the perimeter of the corporate network, while supporting standardized endpoint management.”
