Citrix Workspace and IGEL OS are flexible and great to use when working from home, making it easy to stay productive from almost anywhere. Citrix has been a leader in remote access for over two decades and IGEL OS provides an unmatched operating system for on-premises and remote endpoints, and has emerged as the ideal next-gen edge OS for the cloud.

Over 100 million users trust Citrix, with 17,000 organization currently running on IGEL OS. Why is this pairing so trusted?

Even on a mobile device the Citrix Workspace app can be utilized.

The Citrix Workspace portal makes accessing any business application simple on any device and IGEL’s endpoints auto-configure based on predefined profiles.

IGEL OS can also be easily installed with no-touch deployment and drag-and-drop profiling. See more in this infographic.

Employee-owned PC’s can also be used simply and securely while working from home.

Working from home can be efficient with Citrix and IGEL. In addition, remote Windows patching is no longer needed, and endpoints can be updated quickly and reliably with automated configuration.
