Transforming digital workspace delivery with IGEL COSMOS

Designed to simplify and secure the delivery of digital workspaces to access any cloud while reducing costs, IGEL COSMOS is ideal for organizations looking to optimize their digital workspace delivery while maintaining security and control.  This innovative solution comprises a modular operating system, a user-friendly management platform, and a range of value-added cloud services, making it easier than ever for organizations to harness the full power of cloud-delivered workspaces. With IGEL OS, businesses can run their digital workspaces on nearly any x86-64 device, extending the life of their equipment and reducing their carbon footprint and capital expenses. IGEL’s commitment to partnerships with major cloud services and technology suppliers ensures that integration will be seamless and reliable.

“For the first time, IGEL is completely separating the base IGEL OS from its validated and integrated applications, which, coupled with an Onboarding Service and App Portal, further reduces endpoint management costs, improves employee productivity, and enables greater workspace access security,” said Matthias Haas, CTO, IGEL. “New employees can be onboarded in under five minutes ‘out-of-the-box,’ with devices shipped directly from HP, Lenovo, and LG.
