IGEL's Updated Universal Desktop Converter Software now Able to Extend the Life of Even More old PCs and Neoware Thin Clients
Businesses Can Now Convert Neoware Thin Client Hardware Into Universal Desktops Using a USB Stick
CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 6, 2010-- IGEL Technology today announced its Universal Desktop
Converter (UDC) has been updated with the latest Protocols and Clients to
handle the conversion of the last generation of Neoware thin client models.
The IGEL UDC software, which converts old PCs and thin clients to a remotely
managed IGEL Universal Desktop, can now transform Neoware e50, e90 and e140
devices. By installing the company's Universal Firmware onto the devices,
customers can experience a smooth transition to an IGEL Universal Desktop or
desktop virtualization environment without the expense of replacing the
entire client hardware. This enables companies of all sizes to extend the
lifecycle of their existing infrastructure and reduce the cost of investing
in new hardware.
With the latest upgrade, the IGEL UDC can now not only convert
the Neoware models but also the HP t5745 and Fujitsu Futro S100 in addition
to the existing Dell Optiplex FX160, Acer Veriton N260G, Fujitsu S450, S500,
S550 and HP 5545, t5735 models.
"By repurposing old hardware with IGEL's Universal Desktop
Converter, businesses can stay up-to-date with their technology offerings and
experience more long-term cost savings and flexibility," said Erhard Behnke,
Director Sales at IGEL Technology. "For example, by upgrading these old thin
clients to an IGEL Universal Desktop customers suddenly have the ability to
connect to the latest Citrix, VMware and Quest clients to implement virtual
desktops."
To upgrade third party hardware into IGEL Universal Desktops,
customers simply plug in and boot from the USB token. The IGEL Universal
Firmware is then installed automatically onto their system. The Universal
Desktop Converter comes with three Software Pack options - Entry, Standard,
or Advanced - so businesses only pay for what they need by selecting the
software platform that best suits their requirements.
IGEL's Universal Management Suite is also included with the
Universal Desktop Converter, allowing businesses to remotely manage thin
clients and converted PCs and reduce the time and money spent on hardware
support and administration.
Pricing for the Universal Desktop Converter starts at
$36.50+tax. For more information about IGEL's Universal Desktop Converter and
