IGEL upgrades Universal Desktop UD5 and UD6 thin clients, supports Windows 10 IoT enterprise
The high-performance endpoints combined with IGEL’s industry-leading software enable IT organisations to leverage Windows 10 IoT Enterprise to simplify the management of IoT-connected devices
IGEL, a world leader in endpoint management software for the secure enterprise, has upgraded the IGEL Universal Desktop-series UD5 and UD6 thin clients, adding support for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.
“Researchers are predicting that more than 20 billion Internet of Things devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020, and as a result an increasing number of businesses are starting to identify ways in which to harness the power of these edge devices in order to drive digital transformation initiatives,” said Ainsley Brooks, IGEL’s UK & Ireland country manager.
“The combination of our high-performance IGEL UD5 and UD6 thin clients featuring Windows 10 IoT Enterprise with our industry-leading endpoint management software is making it possible for IT organisations operating in a wide-range of industries to simplify the management of their IoT-connected devices.”
The IGEL Universal Desktop UD5 and UD6 thin clients feature Intel® Celeron® dual-core and quad-core processors, respectively, and support high-performance graphics capabilities for a rich multimedia experience, while enabling users to run multiple software applications simultaneously.

In addition to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, the IGEL UD5 and UD6 thin clients also support the IGEL OS IGEL’s Linux-based operating system. To enable users to securely communicate between their Windows 10 IoT Enterprise-powered IGEL desktops and IoT devices, the IGEL UD5 and UD6 thin clients support a variety of networking protocols including the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client.
With the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), a single endpoint management solution that provides IT with automated backend control while delivering a familiar, trouble-free environment for users, organisations are able to manage all of their IGEL endpoints.
“No other manufacturer can simplify the management of complex enterprise environments the way IGEL can,” said Brooks. “Our ability to support a diverse array of devices and operating systems through the IGEL UMS, including Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, has truly revolutionised endpoint management.”
For use with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, IGEL UD5 and UD6 thin clients also come standard with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of flash memory, providing much-needed space for IT organisations to install their own software applications, as well as the drivers or tools needed to support peripherals including dictation devices.
Additionally, the IGEL UD5 and UD6 clients include a software license that provides access to regular and frequent firmware updates, enabling IT organisations to preserve their hardware investment while taking advantage of new features and functionality that become available. All IGEL UD-series thin clients also come pre-configured to support industry-leading virtualisation protocols. Customers can choose from Citrix HDX, Microsoft RDP/Remote FX or VMware Horizon.
Organisations can add or re-configure supported virtualisation protocols, leveraging the IGEL UMS to quickly transition between protocols, and make changes for their entire network of thin clients or a specific endpoint. The UMS also enables IT organisations to add and remove endpoint devices, and perform software upgrades as needed or required, to provide the latest available protocol features.
