Easy-to-use

IGEL Universal Management Suite combines an intuitive user interface with point-and-click simplicity to manage everything on a thin client including all hardware and software settings. No scripting is necessary to control a thin client’s configuration. The user interface is very similar to the local system administration console on the thin client, with the addition of some additional remote management functionality. Setup is wizard driven and only takes 20 minutes if the integrated server-based database is used. This means your administrators can be productive very quickly, changes can be made on the fly and errors are minimised.

Open

The IGEL Universal Management Suite server can be run on all popular versions of Microsoft® Windows® Server and Linux. It supports a wide variety of databases including Oracle®, Microsoft® SQL Server 2000®, SQL Server 2005® and PostgreSQL. It can also interface with Active Directory so you can maximise the benefits of your existing management infrastructure. The console is based on Java, making system administration possible from any device with a Java Runtime Environment.

Secure

The management infrastructure is extremely secure using encrypted communications (SSL) for both communication between each console and the server and each server with its clients. There is also a secure certificate relationship between each thin client and its Universal Management Suite server, so that an unauthorised server can’t ever take control of IGEL thin clients on the network.

Friendly to your network

Because IGEL Universal Management Suite uses standard protocols such as HTTP and FTP for communication, you don’t need to open additional firewall ports, keeping your network security to a maximum. Sending large images over your WAN can be kept to a minimum through the use of local FTP servers or the Buddy Update feature, which transforms an already updated IGEL thin client into the image source for other local clients on the network.
