IGEl Updates Remote Management Suite And Updates IGEL XPe Firmware
Tuesday, 12 June 2007 by Michel Roth
IGEL today unveiled the latest upgrades to its Windows XP Embedded firmware and Remote Management Suite. Designed for enterprise-wide, large-scale deployments, these new features set the standard for thin client usability and management.

The Windows XP Embedded firmware includes:

Partial Update Mechanism
This feature improves application installations and updates on thin clients by only updating the new or modified files - saving network bandwidth, reducing administration time and complexity. It also allows administrators to create customized packages for firmware updates to meet their specific needs, increasing control and reducing deployment costs.

Shared Workstations
The Citrix Password Manager agent is included as standard with the latest version of IGEL’s Windows XP Embedded firmware. The Citrix agent is fully integrated into the IGEL Remote Management Suite allowing out-of-the-box deployment and simple point-and-click management.

Automatic Active Directory Registration
This feature allows time efficient “unattended” roll-out of IGEL thin clients in Microsoft Active Directory environments.

Citrix ICA Client 10

The latest Citrix ICA client 10 is included as standard.

In addition to the Windows XP Embedded upgrade, IGEL also launched the latest version of its Remote Management Suite. The latest features include security, compliance and extended functionality improvements, such as:

Logging System
All IGEL device activities, such as configuration changes, boot, wake-on-LAN and shutdown are recorded by the IGEL Remote Management Suite. This allows IT administrators to monitor access to their IT infrastructure rather than the traditional access monitoring of the network.
Extended remote management support for modern widescreen video resolutions, supported by IGEL devices. This allows organizations to roll out new widescreen monitors without having to physically visit devices and change their screen resolutions.

Full support for the Microsoft Vista operating system
High availability of the IGEL management server using failover clustering with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database.
