Have you ever wondered how the rapid transition of workloads to the cloud is reshaping the demands on endpoint security and management? In this episode Neil C. Hughes engages with James Millington from IGEL and James Hsu from Citrix in a deep dive into their groundbreaking partnership.

This collaboration is not just about technology integration; it's about reinventing how businesses access and manage cloud environments and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with an eye on security, efficiency, and user experience.

IGEL has boldly shifted its focus towards providing a secure, Linux-based endpoint operating system (OS), stepping away from its previous hardware-centric model.

The duo discusses the transformative benefits of this shift, emphasizing enhanced user experiences, reduced IT administration efforts, and significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

The conversation turns intriguing as they explore the unique value IGEL's approach brings to Citrix customers. With continuous updates and the latest features, IGEL's OS ensures that Citrix technologies are fully leveraged, delivering high-definition experiences across the board. The partnership's strengths shine in healthcare scenarios, where security, time efficiency, and flexibility are paramount for care providers.

As the future beckons more workloads to the cloud, both James Millington and James Hsu share their excitement for this shift's accelerated possibilities. The alliance between IGEL and Citrix is a testament to their commitment to delivering new capabilities swiftly, transforming IT from a maintenance role to a cornerstone of business enablement through applications and improved user experiences.
