With support for 14 hypervisors, including Vmware® ESX, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle® VM, Virtual Iron and others, Ericom® PowerTerm® WebConnect enables organisations to flexibly choose the VDI environment that best suits their needs.

The 9 IGEL Universal Desktops supporting Linux include traditional desktops, quad screen units, LCD integrated units and the innovative PC upgrade card that allows a legacy PC to be converted for only €139/£95/$160 into a powerful, secure, virus immune, virtual infrastructure access device. All models come bundled, free of charge, with the powerful IGEL Remote Management Suite.
