IGEL's Latest Microsoft Windows CE Firmware Now Available

IGEL Technology announces the availability of its latest Microsoft Windows CE firmware. The inclusion of the Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect client allows customers to choose from 10 hypervisors when delivering virtual PCs. The firmware upgrade also includes support for the Citrix XenDesktop Appliance standard. All Windows CE-based IGEL thin clients can 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. These features come in addition to the existing support for the Leostream connection broker that can connect to a Vmware VDI infrastructure plus other digital services such as terminal emulation, web and media player.

IGEL's CE models have had their Ericom functionality upgraded so they now have the complete Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect client integrated. This provides users with secure, local and remote access to applications and desktops running on Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, Virtual Desktops (VDI), Blade PCs and legacy terminal emulation based systems. With support for 10 hypervisors, including Vmware ESX, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle VM, Virtual Iron and others, Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect enables organisations to flexibly choose the VDI environment that best suits their needs.

All IGEL Windows CE-based models are now shipping with the new firmware.
