Standardizing Endpoints for the Simple and Secure Delivery of Digital Workspaces from the Cloud
IGEL OS is a platform-independent Linux-based endpoint operating system, designed for simple, smart, and secure access to virtual apps, desktops, and cloud workspaces, including Citrix Workspace and Citrix Cloud. IGEL OS turns any compatible x86-64 device into a secure IGEL-managed endpoint, enabling organizations to efficiently migrate to their cloud(s) of choice, at their pace, and from any infrastructure including on-premises, public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud.

“To achieve these performance improvements, and enable a high-fidelity, immersive, unified communications and multimedia experience for Citrix Workspace users, IGEL OS 11.05 offloads much of the multimedia processing to the local operating system, while running critical real-time communications components on the device,” continues Haas.
Enterprise-level Security with IGEL “Chain of Trust”
IGEL OS architecture also provides an end-to-end “chain of trust” from the endpoint processor or UEFI process to the Citrix Workspace platform. This innovative security framework validates each discrete step of the endpoint boot process through to the workspace execution, helping to ensure end-to-end system integrity.
“The Citrix Workspace and Workspace App with IGEL OS comprise an unbeatable combination to enable people to securely work from anywhere, using almost any device,” said John Panagulias, Director, Citrix Ready. “We are pleased to see IGEL achieve validation of IGEL OS 11.05 for both the Citrix Ready for Cloud and Citrix Ready Endpoint Premium, further expanding the list of IGEL solutions that have been Citrix Ready verified across multiple programs over the past two decades.”
