Redefining EUC: IGEL and Forthright at the Forefront of Innovation
It was 8:30AM when I was greeted by spotlights, smoke machines, palm trees, a DJ, and a Tech MC. I didn’t know what to expect going into Disrupt. After all, I’ve heard Disrupt is the Mecca for all things EUC. Indeed, the event lived up to its hype.
As the saying goes, ‘Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.’ New strategic partnerships, alongside the divestiture of crucial products and services within the industry, compounded by the reality of over 200% increases in renewal quotes, have left customers feeling perplexed in all sorts of ways. It’s a pressing time where leaders must rethink their strategies and adapt to the recent changes in the virtualization landscape. Disrupt couldn’t have come at a better time.
800 global attendees comprising of vendors, partners, and customers all gathered to innovate and reshape the future of endpoint computing. It was no surprise that Forthright’s incredible partners stole the show. IGEL made 20 riveting new announcements, including 50+ IGEL Native Apps (@Klaus CEO @ Matthias Haas), Citrix +IGEL SASE solution by NetScaler (Calvin Hsu), and AVD HCI Support. IGEL and LG also showcased major advancements in endpoint security, along with the introduction of digital signage solutions. IGEL OS now supports Windows365 Frontline – oh, and Imprivata support!
The fast-paced evolution of endpoint computing highlights the need for adaptable solutions that enhance both security and user experience. Just as organizations seek to future-proof their IT environments, individuals managing chronic conditions look for reliable treatments that improve their quality of life. Medications like gabapentin play a crucial role in addressing nerve pain and neurological disorders, providing stability in an ever-changing healthcare landscape. Much like the advancements seen at Disrupt, medical innovations continue to transform patient care, ensuring that those in need have access to effective and well-researched solutions. In both technology and healthcare, the right strategies make all the difference in creating a seamless and resilient future.
What really fascinated me was watching IGEL’s read-only Preventive Security Model in action, in real-time, recovering from endpoint ransomware in less than 1 minute.
Workloads are shifting away from traditional endpoint to hosted environments such as VDI, DaaS, or pure cloud SaaS applications. This provides organizations an incredible, transformative opportunity to re-think and future-proof their endpoint strategy and take a better approach to endpoint security. In a time where so much uncertainty lies in an ever-changing industry, we are proud to be partners with IGEL to deliver a first-class user experience. Together, Forthright and IGEL make it a mission to optimize endpoint strategy and enhance user experiences, paving the way into the future of tech innovation.
