Why should customers get excited? Here are a few reasons:

• High-performance graphics powered by AMD Ryzen Embedded V1605Bquad-core processor with stock speed of 2.0 GHz, “turbo”better “boost”? speed up to 3.6 GHz
• AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics (up to 4GB shared frame buffer)
• A new integrated fiber connectivity option that supports multi-mode and single-mode transceivers and fiber-to-copper converters – a more secure connection with negligible degradation for an immersive, vibrant user experience.
• Quad DisplayPort connectors supporting Quad 4K monitors – that’s great resolution with a lot of screen size!
• A 50% smaller footprint and 20% lighter, with a chassis made of minimum 30% recycled plastic – it’s slim and powerful, and the perfect fit for compact workspaces.

Security to Match Performance

Besides its industry-leading graphics and connectivity enhancements, the IGEL UD7 gives customers ‘chain of trust’ level security beginning at the hardware layer. This cryptographic signature verification process starts just prior to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot, using the AMD Secure Processor technology (AMD Secure Boot) and AMD Memory Guard. End-to-end system integrity is assured, so customers can access their cloud-delivered digital workspaces with confidence.

The new UD Pocket2 is here. A portable USB device with a USB-A and a USB-C connector, this nifty little gadget enables secure and rapid access from any x86-64 endpoint, to managed cloud-delivered or VDI digital workspaces. Compatible with both legacy and modern devices, the UD Pocket2 suggest to put “UD” and “Pocket2” appear in one sentence, not interrupt it is also an ideal solution for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) users, work-from-home users, or organizations that wish to repurpose aging or existing hardware to allow simplified and managed access to the company network or cloud workloads, from anywhere and from almost any device.

We’ve seen UD Pocket devices put into use across many industries. Here is a quick rundown on ways that it’s helping organizations from four of those industries realize rapid benefits for more secure end user computing productivity.

Finance Organizations Shift Employees to Work from Home Overnight

We’ve seen many financial services and banking organizations shift to a work from home (WFH) model for their employees overnight. One example is Standard Life Assurance. With the UD Pocket this financial services company was able to deliver a full WFH solution for their entire business including 4,500 employees. Shipping an “office in a box” that included UD Pocket devices out to employees’ homes, Standard Life was able to empower workers, without the need for any new laptops or PC hardware. As a result, staff quickly had easy and secure access to corporate applications, including collaboration tools like Skype for Business, for a seamless transition to WFH. What had initially been scoped out as a two-year project was achieved using UD Pockets in just weeks. Read the case study.

Healthcare Workers Increase Staff Productivity and Endpoint Security

The UD Pocket has also been a powerful enabler for customers in the healthcare industry. Consider the story of the post-acute care provider, Diversicare. Using UD Pockets this healthcare provider with 76 facilities across 10 states was able to shift easily to desktop virtualization to simplify endpoint management and control without a costly hardware refresh. With the UD Pocket, the healthcare organization was able to increase staff productivity, strengthen endpoint security, and empower its growing network of skilled nursing facilities without a heavy upfront cost. Ultimately Diveriscare benefitted from a net savings of more than $600K. Read the case study.

Higher Education Instructors Engage Students at Home

Institutions of higher education are also realizing the value of the UD Pocket. With this simple-to-install device, instructors can easily access their institutions’ applications to instruct from home without performance interruption or limitations. Universities, colleges and centers of research and training rely on the UD Pocket to gain full management and control of their remote endpoints, ensuring the productivity of their instructors and staff, and furthering the engagement of their students by getting the most out of their virtualized environments. Read the solution brief.

Retailers Maintain Compliance and Support Customers with Agents from Home

Workers in the retail industry have also addressed WFH needs with the UD Pocket. We’ve seen retailers quickly empower their call center agents and staff using UD Pockets to convert their personal devices into a secure and easy-to-manage endpoint estate. With the need to compliantly handle sensitive customer data according to PCI-DSS regulations, these retailers have found an easy solution with IGEL. Shipping UD Pocket devices to home-based workers has ensured productivity and business continuity while ensuring secure and compliant data access. Read the solution brief.

Powered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1505G with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics system-on-chip (SoC), the IGEL UD3 provides secure, optimized performance within virtualized and cloud workspaces. Some of the key features and benefits of the IGEL UD3 include:

• Power and Efficiency: Turn any task into a high-fidelity digital experience. Together, AMD and IGEL enable unique optimization of the AMD Ryzen SoC, designed for performance with maximum energy efficiency.
• Ultra-secure chain of trust from keystroke to cloud. AMD’s Secure Processor, a built-in security system integrated into the Ryzen SoC puts system integrity and data protection right at the processor. This activation leverages a dedicated security system, initiating IGEL’s secure “chain of trust” starting at the hardware level.
• Experience hardware accelerated graphics. IGEL UD3 is the first endpoint hardware to be optimized for cloud connectivity with the Teradici PCoIP Software Client for Linux, including the PCoIP Ultra feature set.
• Versatility. The IGEL UD3 includes an optional integrated WLAN and Bluetooth and modern and legacy connectivity ports with SuperSpeed USB (3.2 Gen 1 Type-C) and a serial port

REX Analytics: Microsoft Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) and IGEL UD3 Offer a Superior Remote End-user Experience with GPUs

Recently, IGEL added native support for Microsoft WVD to IGEL OS. IGEL engaged Benny Tritsch and the REX Analytics Framework to show what the end-user experience looks like when connecting to a WVD host pool using the IGEL UD3. The test proved that the IGEL UD3 performed superbly. It also showed the importance of using a GPU to enhance the end-user experience in remote desktop sessions. View this performance comparison on REX Analytics here:

Eco-Friendly Design

In addition to the aforementioned features and benefits, the IGEL UD3 has also been designed with the environment in mind:

• 50% less volume and 20% less weight than its predecessor reduces CO2 footprint for material and transportation as well as electronic waste.
• Chassis is made from 30% recycled plastics, which leads to less material and less paint.
• Maximum energy efficiency for minimum power consumption according to Energy Star, EU Eco design.
• Green, innovative production and transportation with less packaging made from recycled materials.

Further, IGEL endpoints usually stay fully operational up to 3x longer than standard PCs.  IGEL also offers up to 5 years of warranty with device registration.
