• IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS): UMS is a powerful management tool that allows IT administrators to centrally manage and control their IGEL endpoints. It simplifies the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of IGEL devices, ensuring a seamless user experience.
• IGEL Workspace Edition: The IGEL Workspace Edition is a complete solution that combines IGEL OS and UMS with additional features such as advanced endpoint security, cloud connectivity, and remote support. It offers a unified and secure workspace environment for users accessing Azure Virtual Desktop.

Last year IGEL announced COSMOS, a unified, agile platform to securely manage and automate the delivery of digital workspaces, from any cloud.

Offering a modular architecture, granular endpoint control and end-user freedom, COSMOS is designed to enable organizations to garner the full power of current-day and future clouds with extensive control, while powering great user experiences for today’s hybrid work.
