Now, Apporto is expanding access to its comprehensive and cost-effective Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions to enterprises across the financial services, healthcare, retail, and government sectors. The goal is to provide a VDI alternative for businesses that feel left behind due to recent market disruptions.

IGEL + Apporto: Driving Cost Efficiencies and Improving the User Experience

Several years ago, a prominent Canadian university, which has thousands of PCs used by students across several campuses, made the strategic decision to switch from Windows to IGEL OS. This transition was aimed at optimizing the delivery, management, and security of its entire end-user computing (EUC) environment.

By repurposing existing hardware as endpoints managed by IGEL OS, the institution saved significantly on hardware refresh costs. This enabled the reallocation of resources to other important IT initiatives, including modernizing its outdated VDI infrastructure, which had increasingly frustrated end users due to poor performance. To complicate matters further, the renewal of its existing licensing would lead to a substantial price increase for the university. In search of a more efficient and cost-effective VDI alternative, the university turned to Apporto.

Now, with IGEL and Apporto, students enjoy seamless access to virtual desktops, whether using IGEL OS-powered devices or their personal devices via a browser, transforming the user experience while keeping costs in check.

Creating Collaborative, Secure, and Productive Work Environments

Apporto isn’t just about accessing resources, it’s about transforming the delivery of cloud desktops and applications. With Apporto, cloud workspaces become more dynamic and flexible through collaboration tools that integrate chat and voice communications.

Furthermore, with Apporto’s enhanced screen sharing and desktop control, organizations benefit from an interactive and engaging experience. This can be achieved regardless of the end user’s physical location, making it easy for teams to work together in real-time. This fosters a sense of teamwork and promotes an active, engaged learning process that is both more enjoyable and effective.

In response to the growing importance of cybersecurity, Apporto offers Modular Cyber Labs that allow end users to quickly build, load, save, adapt, and attack fully operational network environments. These environments are entirely isolated from corporate networks, providing a safe space for team communication and collaboration.

Unburdening IT Teams to Focus on What Matters

Often, the administrative burden placed on IT teams when managing VDI environments can be overwhelming. Apporto significantly lightens this load by managing all cloud infrastructure, software deployment, backup, recovery, and even antivirus. This level of support simplifies managing and configuring endpoint devices, freeing up IT teams to concentrate on higher-priority tasks.

Reducing Costs While Enhancing Flexibility

Financial efficiency is another important aspect of Apporto’s offering for organizations that can experience up to 50-70% lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with Apporto’s straightforward, all-inclusive subscription model. This approach reduces hidden costs and makes expenses predictable, allowing for improved financial planning and resource allocation.

Apporto offers versatile deployment options, including cloud, on-prem, or hybrid approaches. Compatible with AWS, Azure, and on-premises solutions, Apporto provides organizations with comprehensive coverage for flexible and scalable computing needs and user preferences.

Delivering a Superior User Experience

The virtual desktop solution offered by Apporto is genuinely the next generation of VDI. It utilizes advanced compression, geo-optimization, and autoscaling to provide a superior experience directly in the browser. With features such as running up to 60 frames per second and supporting up to three screens, end users can enjoy a seamless, high-performance interface.

Apporto’s Cloud Mounter integrates with major cloud providers such as OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive and supports on-premises storage. This allows for easy access to all files and streamlines management and collaboration. Users can efficiently access, manage, and share files across platforms, enhancing productivity and simplifying workflows.

We are continuing the IGEL DISRUPT 24 sponsor interview series with Jordan Rothstein, Senior Solutions Engineer, eG Innovations. Read on for insights on how eG Innovations partners with IGEL, and what excites them most about this year’s event.

Tell us about your company and how you partner with IGEL?

Jordan Rothstein: eG Innovations delivers a suite of monitoring and observability solutions for any type of digital workspace – whether Citrix, Horizon, Amazon Workspaces/AppStream, or Azure Virtual Desktop.

Our customers use our solutions to proactively monitor workspaces on-premises or in the cloud, to enhance user satisfaction and productivity, improve operational efficiency and reduce mean time to repair. End-to-end monitoring, diagnosis and reporting is a key capability we offer to our customers and monitoring of IGEL endpoints in context are a key to achieving the visibility that customers need to troubleshoot performance issues quickly.

We partner with IGEL to make sure our solutions are optimized for IGEL products and support their latest architecture and platforms. We have been an IGEL partner since 2021.

Do you have any examples of customers who have benefited from using your solution with IGEL?

Jordan Rothstein: Several customers in the healthcare vertical have benefited from eG Innovation’s Single Pane of Glass approach to monitoring their Endpoints, Networks, Infrastructure—on-premises/Cloud, Applications, and User Experience.

For example, using eG Innovation’s AIOps capabilities like Automatic Event Correlation and Machine Learning Capabilities, our customers are able to identify the root cause of complex performance issues proactively before customers get impacted.

For a specific healthcare customer, there were constant complaints of poor user experience (high latency) for the physicians’ VDI Sessions. eG Enterprise was able to provide a single pane of glass for monitoring the Citrix VDI environment within the data center, IGEL Endpoints used by physicians at the hospitals, and the network connectivity between IGEL and Citrix. Using eG Innovation’s out-of-the-box dashboards and reports, the customer was able to prove that It was not a Citrix or IGEL Issue. It was a network misconfiguration that was causing Citrix VDI Packets to get dropped resulting in slow Citrix sessions.

Why did eG Innovations sponsor IGEL DISRUPT 24, and what are you most fired up about the event?

Jordan Rothstein: Over the last three years, DISRUPT has become the premier event that customers and partners deploying and managing digital workspaces attend. We can meet existing customers, demonstrate our latest products to new prospects, and explore opportunities to recruit new partners.

It is a no-brainer for eG Innovations to be a sponsor at this event. It’s a great opportunity for us to see the latest enhancements in IGEL products and other ecosystem technologies that we inter-operate with. We’re looking forward to understanding how customers are responding to the new changes in the digital workspace products and at the same time, looking forward to demonstrating our latest multi-tenant observability solution and the managed service opportunities it offers to IGEL’s value-added partners.

What is your definition of a dream vacation, and why?

Jordan Rothstein: I love traveling, and one of my favorite ways to spend a vacation is at festivals and events. There is something special about the energy of a large group of like-minded people coming together over a shared interest. There is always a friendly and open atmosphere, in which it is easy to approach anyone and have a conversation about ideas and experiences that you both agree are interesting and exciting.

It is only a few short weeks until IGEL DISRUPT 24! Taking place in Miami, Fla., from April 29 through May 1, IGEL DISRUPT 24 will provide attendees with an incredible opportunity to hear from and engage with more than 45 thought leaders and visionaries, including analysts and technology experts.

We are continuing the IGEL DISRUPT 24 sponsor interview series with Joel Stocker, Director of Product Marketing at ControlUp. Read on for insights on ControlUp’s partnership with IGEL and why they look forward to joining us this year for IGEL DISRUPT.

Tell us about your company and how you partner/go to market with IGEL.

Joel Stocker: ControlUp’s advanced monitoring and management capabilities enhance IGEL’s offerings by providing comprehensive insights into endpoint performance, employee experience, and resource utilization. With ControlUp’s real-time analytics and troubleshooting tools, IGEL administrators can optimize endpoint operations, diagnose issues promptly, and ensure a seamless user experience. Together, ControlUp and IGEL provide an exceptional Digital Employee Experience.

Why do you partner with IGEL, and how long have you been an IGEL partner?

Joel Stocker: As the leading provider of digital employee experience monitoring in the VDI & DaaS market, it makes sense for ControlUp to closely align with the leading provider of the secure endpoint OS for VDI & DaaS environments. ControlUp has been an IGEL partner since 2021, and during that time, we have closely collaborated with IGEL around the integration of our technologies and, of course, with our joint customers in mind.

Do you have any examples of customers who have benefited from using your solution with IGEL?

Joel Stocker: One example of this was the rapid delivery of IGEL endpoints to optimize the efficiency of vaccine clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic wore on and vaccines became widely available in late 2020, our customer, a healthcare provider, began setting up pop-up clinics to vaccinate staff and the broader community as vaccination eligibility expanded. To support these clinics and drive more efficient scheduling and check-in for vaccination appointments, the healthcare organization leveraged IGEL in setting up computerized kiosks and vaccine sites.

With IGEL OS, it was simple for the healthcare provider’s IT staff to reconfigure endpoints to function as Firefox kiosks where clinical staff could securely access vaccine appointment and registration data through the Firefox browser. This enabled the clinics to optimize their efficiency and vaccinate more people in shorter time frames, especially during periods of high demand for vaccines, with 665,000 vaccines administered during the first half of 2021 alone.

Why did ControlUp sponsor IGEL DISRUPT 24, and what are you most fired up about the event?

Joel Stocker: ControlUp’s sponsorship of IGEL DISRUPT underscores our commitment to driving innovation and collaboration within the endpoint management industry. As a leading provider of digital experience monitoring and management solutions, ControlUp recognizes the significance of events like IGEL DISRUPT in fostering dialogue, sharing best practices, and showcasing cutting-edge technologies. By sponsoring IGEL DISRUPT, ControlUp not only demonstrates its support for the IGEL community, but gains valuable opportunities to engage with industry peers, showcase its solutions, and contribute to the advancement of endpoint management practices.

What do you and your organization want to achieve at DISRUPT 2024?

Joel Stocker: At IGEL DISRUPT, we are proud to showcase the unity shared between IGEL and ControlUp. The ControlUp team always welcomes the opportunity to connect with the EUC community, customers, and partners. There is no better place to do this than IGEL DISRUPT, a leading EUC-focused industry event. We are looking forward to contributing to the education and insight the attendees will gain at this cutting-edge conference and welcome the opportunity to learn alongside our community members.

What will you present at DISRUPT 2024, and what do you want attendees to take away from your session?

Joel Stocker: We will present a live demo of how ControlUp can monitor the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) when connecting to VDI, DaaS, or SaaS applications. DEX is not just metrics. It’s the ability to relate what the employee is going through and, if needed, take action to resolve it quickly. DEX cross-references data from multiple sources to ensure you get ‘All angles’ on what the user is experiencing in real-time. For more on this, be sure to check out the breakout session by Marcel Calef, Americas Field CTO: Helping IT Organizations Deliver an Exceptional DEX (Digital Employee Experience) in any platform!
