Overall, 2021 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 212% to 87,037% from 2017 to 2020, with median growth of 521%. IGEL grew 339% during this period and this is the second year in a row the company has been featured on the list.
IGEL CEO, Jed Ayres credits IGEL’s revenue growth to its innovation, and the employees, partners, and customers who share its vision for digital workspace security, productivity, and efficiency at the endpoint. He said, “IGEL continues to transform the way businesses optimize their use of digital workspaces through our alliances with world’s most prominent cloud workspace providers including AWS, Citrix, Microsoft and VMware. Simplifying and securing the cloud-delivery of the applications and resources today’s modern end-user computing environments need has driven our impressive growth trajectory.”
IGEL OS is a Linux-based OS that runs on any compatible x86-64 device, verified and supported on hardware from vendors such as HP, Lenovo, LG, OnLogic, Elo Touch, Dynabook, and many more. It is easy to install and is significantly smaller than other endpoint OSs, as well as being read-only, so it offers less attack surface for malware. Its award winning management platform enables one IT administrator to easily manage tens of thousands of devices. IGEL supports more than 17 virtualization protocols including Citrix, VMware, Microsoft AVD and Windows 365, and Amazon WorkSpaces.
