Today IGEL announced a new Thin Client based on an ARM CPU which comes with a System on Chip (SoC) design for Citrix and Microsoft (more to go? :-)). Nothing special on the first view but this is mostly exactly what Zero Clients (other name for mostly limited thin clients) are doing. Where is the difference? So called Zero Clients are always limited to one type of service, the IGEL Version supports a couple of different solutions to keep it flexible. This makes IGEL one step ahead before the most other vendors. I look forward to get my hands on the first sample and will post the results here. But still, it will need some weeks to go… The premiere will be at the CeBit this year.
