IGEL Enhances Endpoint Solutions for Healthcare and Industrial Use with Teguar Hardware

In a significant move to bolster the flexibility of endpoint devices tailored for healthcare and industrial environments, IGEL has announced a partnership with Teguar, a company known for its rugged computing solutions. This collaboration aims to introduce new hardware options compatible with IGEL's adaptive platform for secure endpoint management. The newly integrated hardware will cater specifically to specialized environments where standard commercial devices often fall short in terms of durability and operational requirements.

Expanding Hardware Options

Teguar has built a reputation for manufacturing robust computing systems designed for harsh and demanding conditions. Their product line includes durable, waterproof industrial computers, all-in-one PCs, and tablets optimized for healthcare settings. The collaboration with IGEL brings these specialized devices into the IGEL ecosystem, certified for use with IGEL OS.

This integration is a game-changer for organizations that rely on technology in sectors where reliability, physical endurance, and central management are paramount, such as hospitals and manufacturing facilities. Customers can look forward to a broader selection of verified hardware that ensures smooth deployment of endpoint devices across various specialized operational environments.

Key Benefits of the Partnership

Jim Airdo, Senior Vice President for Strategic Partnerships at IGEL, emphasized the importance of incorporating Teguar into the IGEL Ready ecosystem. "Organizations are expanding secure access to environments where reliability of endpoints and centralized management play a crucial role," he stated. By embracing Teguar’s offerings, IGEL not only broadens its hardware selection but also enhances its capacity to support customers seeking to build a trustworthy and efficiently managed endpoint framework.

The combination of IGEL's unchanging operating system, IGEL OS, and Teguar’s specially designed hardware provides a powerful solution for the unique challenges faced by various industries. Both healthcare and industrial environments require reliable systems that can function effectively outside traditional office settings, making this partnership particularly relevant.

Supporting Diverse Use Cases

In manufacturing and industrial spaces, Teguar’s devices are engineered to operate reliably under various conditions, overcoming the limitations of standard computing options. In healthcare, Teguar systems facilitate shared workspaces, clinical access, and workflows that demand specialized endpoint solutions, effectively enhancing operational efficiency and security.

The IGEL OS serves as a solid foundation, helping to reduce the attack surface of endpoint devices by providing a reliable base layer that is hardwired for security. Additionally, the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) offers IT departments the ability to maintain centralized control over device configuration and software delivery, which is crucial for ensuring consistency across a fleet of devices deployed in diverse operational settings.

Meeting Modern Demands

Organizations are in the midst of upgrading their endpoint device strategies, and the pairing of IGEL’s immutable operating system with Teguar’s purpose-built hardware creates a formidable solution for complex environments. Kevin Jones, Global Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Teguar, noted that through the IGEL Ready program, both companies have ensured compatibility between Teguar's key medical and industrial products and IGEL OS, allowing customers to confidently deploy centrally managed and secure endpoints.

The IGEL solution aligns with Zero Trust principles, reinforcing the device layer that dictates access decisions, and when deployed on Teguar’s certified hardware, it lays out a consistent and centrally managed base for accessing virtual applications, cloud desktops, SaaS applications, browser-based workflows, and operating systems.
