IGEL supports the broadest set of digital services in the market. No
matter what server-based application or data you have, IGEL can
probably access it. These are all the categories of digital services
that can be found in IGEL's product range.
| Server based Windows access
All IGEL devices provide access to server-based Windows applications using Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP protocols. |
| Virtualization
IGEL thin clients can access virtual server-based desktops running on VMware using the most popular VDI connection brokers. |

Web access
Most IGEL devices come with a native web browser. This allows terminals to access any web site or web-based application, removing the need to host the browser centrally on a server. This saves money and removes a typical performance bottleneck in server-based Windows infrastructures. |

Web services
Most IGEL thin clients support .net or J2EE web services, making them very suitable for accessing modern web-based applications.

Text Terminal Emulation
Text terminal emulation allows you to use your IGEL device to access legacy green screen applications using a wide variety of formats such as DEC VT100 or IBM 3270. |

Java
Most IGEL devices come with a Java Virtual Machine, allowing the terminal to run any Java application locally. This makes the terminal extremely powerful and removes a potential performance bottleneck from your server infrastructure. |

Telecommunications
Most IGEL Linux-based devices can be used as a VoIP telephone using their built-in SIP client. This allows you to consolidate your phone and PC into one device saving money, deskspace and hassle. |

ERP access
Some IGEL devices support a native SAP GUI. This provides strong SAP functionality and removes the need to setup server infrastructure to drive a Windows or web-based SAP GUI. |

X Window
IGEL Linux-based terminals can access graphical Unix applications that support the X-Windows protocol. |

Printing
IGEL devices offer ThinPrint support, allowing bandwidth friendly remote printing from your server-based Windows applications. IGEL Linux based devices also have built in print servers so they can be used to provide inexpensive and manageable remote printing without the expense of buying a network printer (great for light print loads). |
