IGEL Cloud Gateway

The IGEL Cloud Gateway (ICG) enables secure shadowing of your IGEL OS managed Endpoints for remote management with the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS).

With the secure shadowing functionality of ICG, it is possible to manage devices outside the corporate LAN.

This enables the helpdesk staff to see and take over users’ screens, even for remote home office and mobile workers.

IT if the UMS and the devices are not in the same network. The following scenarios are typical use cases for the ICG:

• The IGEL OS managed endpoint devices (IGEL UD, UD Pocket or devices converted by UDC3/OSC) of all geographically dispersed branches of a company are to be managed by one central UMS.
• UD Pocket or devices converted by UDC3/OSC are to be managed by the UMS which is residing on premises.

IGEL Cloud Gateway extends the IGEL Universal Management Suite via a standard internet connection to endpoints running in remote branch offices, at home offices or by roaming road warriors.
Whether based in the cloud or in the DMZ, IGEL Cloud Gateway seamlessly authenticates connection and transfers necessary data between the Universal Management Suite and the IGEL OS managed endpoint, without a VPN or leased line.
Across all industries, IGEL Cloud Gateway offers IT Pros a dedicated virtual tunnel for the transparent and secure management of IGEL OS-powered endpoints including hardware converted by IGEL’s Universal Desktop Converter and UD Pocket.

• Replaces expensive VPN or leased lines with a dedicated tunnel for IGEL endpoint management, optimized for unreliable networks.
• Zero touch deployment at remote locations for simple set-up of an off-the shelf device without pre-configuration.
• Transparent endpoint management of remote clients by leveraging the same function of the Universal Management Suite as for local clients.
• Secure HTTPS based protocol encrypts all communication. Certificates authorize and authenticate all connections.
• Flexible architecture to install IGEL Cloud Gateway on premise or deploy as a cloud service.

With ICG on Azure Marketplace admins can use the full ICG functionality and no additional Linux-Server is necessary.
