Additionally, Nutanix Frame has joined the IGEL Ready program as a technology partner.

“In today’s ‘work from anywhere’ world, it can be challenging for IT teams to stay on top of the needs of their end users and provide a computing experience that keeps them engaged and productive,” said Jim Airdo, SVP, IGEL ready and strategic alliances. “The mutual verification and validation of IGEL OS and Nutanix Frame makes the delivery of that experience even easier. The combined solution has now been proven for seamless interoperability so that enterprises can deliver end user computing productivity and value, faster.“

Ruben Sprujit, senior technologist, Nutanix said: “Nutanix and IGEL are working together to help make hybrid work both easy and secure. They’re extending the flexibility afforded by Frame, in delivering virtual apps and desktops, to IGEL OS-powered endpoints through IGEL Ready. For customers looking to enable a secure and modern digital workplace, IGEL OS and Frame deliver simplicity, scalability, and ease of management.“

Greater Flexibility and Choice for Work-From-Anywhere Environments
Frame is a hybrid and multicloud Desktop-as-Service (DaaS) solution that delivers Windows apps and desktops to users anywhere, on any device. The Frame Ready program, part of Nutanix Ready, allows thin client vendors to validate compatibility of their OSs and/or hardware as fully compatible with Frame and the Frame App.

With the completion of verification and joint compatibility testing, IGEL OS’s Nutanix Frame Ready status simplifies the deployment and operation of IGEL OS-powered devices with the Nutanix Frame DaaS platform. With Frame validated with IGEL OS, mutual customers using Frame to support work-from-anywhere environments benefit from greater flexibility and choice when it comes to managing, securing, and modernizing the delivery of cloud-enabled workspace.

“We are pleased to have achieved Nutanix Frame Ready status, and at the same time see Nutanix Frame become part of a powerful validation movement in the end user computing industry,” said Divya Saggar, Director, IGEL Ready. “The future of enterprise computing is in the cloud and the IGEL Ready technology partner program makes it easy for any company to deploy their applications to virtual desktops and cloud workspaces, reaching a new and relevant market while also enabling world-class customer service.“
