This monthly update is your source for community news, technical learning, upcoming events, product updates, and practical insights for securing and managing today’s endpoint environment. 

Whether you are deploying IGEL OS™, strengthening endpoint security, managing devices at scale, building resilient access strategies, supporting customers, or delivering services as a partner, the IGEL Community is here to help you learn, connect, and stay current on how the endpoint is evolving as a critical layer of enterprise security. 

This one isn't for everyone, and that's the point.  

The IGEL Technology Professional program is for the deeply technical people who live and breathe end-user computing. You've architected VDI and DaaS environments at scale. You can talk UMS, profiles, and firmware customization in your sleep. You've debugged a Citrix, AVD, or Horizon session problem that had three vendors pointing fingers at each other. You're also the one who writes it up afterward, so the next person doesn't suffer. If your idea of a good weekend involves a home lab, a packet capture, and a strong coffee, you're in the right place.  

ITPs get early looks at what's coming, direct access to the IGEL product and engineering teams, and a seat among the sharpest EUC minds in the business. 

Applications open October 1 and close December 1. We're looking for real depth and real contribution: deployments you've designed, content you've published, sessions you've presented, and problems you've helped others crack. Current ITPs: the program has been refreshed with a higher bar, so bring your best work and reapply.  

Show us what you know and what you've shared.

Next stop at The Education Station: IGEL Managed Hypervisor. Mike Weyrauch shares an important course update, along with a few key takeaways to help you put what you learn into practice. Keeping up with the latest IGEL training can help you work smarter, avoid unnecessary troubleshooting, and get more value from the technology you already have.  

IGEL Education is proud to release the updated PROPACK: IGEL Managed Hypervisor on the IGEL Academy for IGEL Certified Professionals!  To the course, we've added training demos highlighting best practices, configuration, and validation of IMH Published Apps.  IMH Published Apps lets IGEL OS™ users launch individual Windows applications from a Windows 11 VM running locally in IGEL Managed Hypervisor, presenting them through IGEL Remote Desktop without exposing the full Windows desktop.
This creates a streamlined, world-class user experience!

Certified Professionals access the course here! 

Not yet an IGEL Certified Professional?  No problem, enroll here! 

Tech-Tip for IMH Setup: Give the Windows VM a static IP address so IGEL Remote Desktop can reliably reconnect to the Published Apps session. 

Thanks for being part of the IGEL Community. We look forward to learning, collaborating, and building more secure digital workspace experiences together.
