Title: The introduction of Cafe Wireless Technology
1- High Performance Combo Citrix and Thin Clients
The current changes in company IT are marked by
centralization and virtualization, mobility and
multimedia. Together with the IT provision
solutions from Citrix, the zero clients, hardware
and software thin clients from IGEL Technology
offer particularly high performance and
cost-effectiveness.
2 Close partnership between Citrix and IGEL
Citrix and IGEL two big names within the sector
have been partners for many years. The
companies have been working closely together
since 2002. Back in 2006, IGEL launched the first
of many Citrix-certified thin clients. The
"Citrix Ready", "HDX Ready" and "HDX Ready SoC"
certifications demonstrate the perfect
interaction between IGEL thin clients and the
XenApp and XenDesktop solutions from Citrix.
3The certifications Citrix Ready, HDX Ready and
HDX Ready SoC
- The Citrix Ready label is evidence of the
integrated Citrix Receiver software client via
which the thin clients, zero clients and software
thin clients connect to one or more applications
provided using Citrix XenApp or to a virtual
desktop hosted by Citrix XenDesktop. The HDX
Ready and HDX Ready Premium labels verify the
additional functions of the Citrix High
Definition User Experience (HDX). These include
support for voice over IP, video conferences and
CAD applications. HDX Ready SoC certification
indicates a reference design which follows the
Citrix System on Chip Initiative.
4Multimedia performance, unified communication and
client standardization
Thanks to their high-performance processors and
chip sets, the hardware and software thin
clients, zero clients and SoC clients from IGEL
offer Citrix customers outstanding performance.
The hardware platform of what is now the IGEL IZ1
HDX zero client which was unveiled in 2012 one
year before the start of the System on Chip
Initiative offers a level of multimedia
performance which is unique among entry-level
devices. A digital signal processor (DSP) from
Texas Instruments (TI) is responsible for
accelerating the HDX functions. The development
work which led to IGEL's SoC client is remarkable
in that the IGEL Linux operating system was
specially ported to an ARM platform.
5Synergies in the area of security, USB support
and remote management
- Last but not least, the partnership between
Citrix and IGEL results in compelling synergy
effects. For example, both solutions offer
outstanding security, good USB support and
efficient remote management, which ultimately
results in lasting cost savings.
