In episode 342, Douglas Brown interviews Michail Maridakis, Product Manager, and Catherine Gallagher, Product Marketing Manager. Catherine, Michail, and Douglas will discuss the new IGEL UD Pocket 2, what news, how it compares to the UD Pocket 1, some tech specs, use cases, and much more!

About IGEL UD Pocket2

IGEL released the UD Pocket2, a portable USB device with a USB-A and a USB-C connector that enables secure and rapid access from any x86-64 endpoint, to managed cloud or VDI workspaces. Compatible with both legacy and modern devices, the UD Pocket2 is an ideal solution for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) users, work-from-home users, or organizations that wish to repurpose aging or existing hardware to allow simplified and managed access to the company network or cloud workloads, from anywhere.

The UD Pocket2 is pre-installed with IGEL OS Workspace Edition software and features built-in support for over 100 integrated partner technologies. Using the UD Pocket2, organizations can easily repurpose existing hardware, giving new life to any x86-64 device and making it a secure, managed cloud or VDI workspace. The UD Pocket2 helps defend against the growing threat of ransomware on the endpoint, as it can be used to provide swift disaster recovery should an endpoint become infected. With its USB-A and USB-C connectors, one on each end of the small USB device, the UD Pocket2 is also perfect for modern BYOD endpoints and other compatible small form factor devices. For users working remotely or from home, the UD Pocket2 with IGEL OS is highly secure with its read-only, Linux-based operating system with the added support of two-factor authentication and trusted execution.

Any device enabled with the UD Pocket2, or the UD Pocket USB-A device, becomes a manageable endpoint using the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) which can securely manage up to 300,000 IGEL OS-powered endpoints, whether on the corporate network or off. This makes endpoint management and control simple and secure, even across enterprises with a dispersed and diverse infrastructure of hardware brands and form factors, all from a single console.

The UD Pocket2 with IGEL Workspace Edition will be available during February 2021.

In episode 322, Douglas Brown interviews Simon Richards, Chief Customer Officer at IGEL Technology. Simon and Douglas discuss the new IGEL Trade-Up program, including topics such as what is it, who is it for, what needs to be done to trade up, how long it runs for, and much more.

About IGEL Trade-Up Program

IGEL appreciates that customers running older versions of our operating system require increased support for newer cloud-delivered desktops and newer embedded technologies. IGEL OS 11 provides a secure workspace environment allowing access to Office 365, Teams, Citrix, VMware, Amazon WorkSpaces, and Microsoft WVD.

To help those existing customers deliver newer platforms, support enhanced graphics, and custom partitions, IGEL is offering a migration to IGEL OS 11 as part of a trade-up program to all customers with active maintenance.

IGEL has simplified the process to include customers with or without the multimedia codec licenses (MMCP). Moving to IGEL OS 11 ensures our customers can deploy the latest version of IGEL solutions and can benefit from over 80+ integrated technologies.

In episode 314, Douglas Brown interviews Dan Dillman, CEO and Cliff Miller, CTP at A2U! Together we discuss the EUC world today, cloud, VDI, SBC, Microsoft MVD, DaaS, Thin Clients and much more.

About A2U

Based in Cranberry Township, Pa. and founded in 2003 by current CEO Dan Dillman, A2U has positioned itself as a leader in the IT industry. Initially, A2U began as a cloud hosting company. Under Dillman’s leadership and expertise in Citrix, the company grew into a full cloud hosting provider and IT consulting company by 2012.

Today, the company is one of about 30 Citrix Platinum Partners in the country. The company is also highly recognized as a Platinum Partner in Ivanti, IGEL and Imprivata technologies.

In 2016 and 2017, A2U was named the fastest growing technology company in Pittsburgh, an achievement driven by A2U’s hiring approach to only recruit top-tier technical talent and people who model and align with company values. Providing around-the-clock, in-house IT support, delivery insurance and a specialty in healthcare IT has allowed A2U to maintain its fast growth.

A2U acquired Roberts Construction in 2016, and expanded its services to include collaboration offerings. The following year, a Philadelphia-based IT consulting group, formerly known as UMed, joined A2U. This allowed A2U to expand its resources in Eastern Pennsylvania.

In 2017, A2U was named a Pittsburgh Business Ethics Award finalist.

Earlier this year, A2U was acquired by FutureTech Holding.

A2U Leadership attributes the standout recognition to the company’s trusted advisor approach: Demonstrating a firm commitment to ethical practices in day-to-day operations, philosophies and responses to crises and challenges.

Dillman’s promise to hire only the best, technical staff and philosophy to sell customers a solution – not a product – have been the key drivers in the company’s explosive growth.

As an industry thought leader around mobility, virtualization and how to optimize IT networks — Dillman brings a wealth of experience from managing IT projects at SMB to large-scale companies with 50,000+ user implementations. His IT background spans a range of verticals, particularly healthcare, across the state of Pennsylvania and throughout the region.

Later, he joined UPMC as the senior Citrix architect. In 2018, Dillman was named a winner of Pittsburgh’s CEO of the Year Award.

Johan van Amersfoort: A Discussion on SBC, VDI, DaaS, VMware EUC and so much more - Podcast Episode 313

In episode 313, Douglas Brown interviews Johan van Amersfoort, the Bearded VDI Junkie! Together we discuss the VDI world today, VDI vs. SBC, VMware, Citrix, DaaS, Thin Clients and much more. This is indeed a fantastic interview.

Download the MP3 here: https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/16443984/download.mp3

About Johan van Amersfoort

Since 1999 I am part of the IT world. The first few years as a field engineer working with SBC products like WinFrame and MetaFrame and later mostly with TS/RDS based solutions.

In 2005 I had my first experience with VMware products (Workstation) and since then I got hooked. Especially when I saw my first vMotion. All infrastructures I worked with from that moment on had VMware products as a core part of the infrastructure. Next to Server Virtualization, I focussed on Application Virtualization with both ThinApp and Softgrid/App-V.

Late 2013, it was time to make a career change. But what? Actually, it was kind of easy. Mix Server Virtualization with SBC and Application Virtualization and what do you get? The answer is simple, End-User Computing. I applied for a job at ITQ as a Virtualization Consultant, got hired and took my career to a next level. The 3 year after that were a rollercoaster. vExpert since 2015, VCIX/VCAP’s (5/6) on Data Center and Desktop & Mobility, VMware EUC Champion awards and I achieved my ultimate goal: VCDX-DTM.

I also enjoy being on a stage. The last 3 years you might have seen me on VMUGs (North West UK, Belgium), UserCons (Netherlands, Germany) and VMworld. I’m also one of the founders of the VMware EUC TechCon, a Dutch community-driven initiative to share knowledge at events and online platforms such as Slack.

As EUC is going through a revolution with a lot of new tech that makes it more agile, robust, scalable, secure, manageable and pretty awesome, I will focus mainly on EUC while blogging. You can find posts about new tech, EUC automation, my personal experience and much more.

Next to tech, I have a passion for scuba diving and specifically watching sharks in their natural habitat. Sharks are a perfect example of how evolution works and a showcase for these famous words by Charles Darwin: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change.”. Sharks have lived on our planet for more than 420 million years and are still here. That means that they adapted to new circumstances when they needed to. Something that not all species were able to do.

This is something that reflects my career and the choices I made until so far as well. By accepting that change itself in inevitable, I have used it for my benefit. And I will continue to do so. While the year of VDI still (in my honest opinion) hasn’t been there yet, I’ll continue to focus on this and the ecosystem around it.

To stay healthy and fit, you might also find me at the local CrossFit club or training outside with my bootcamp buddies.
