Omnissa and IGEL Are Redefining Windows App Delivery at the Edge
IT teams everywhere are rethinking how to deliver Windows applications efficiently and securely. Traditional installs and image-based management have become bottlenecks—slowing updates, increasing risk, and limiting flexibility in a hybrid world.
Apps on Demand changed that. With Omnissa App Volumes, applications can be delivered instantly to users without installation, without image sprawl, and always in the correct version.
Now, Omnissa is extending that innovation even further. Together with IGEL, Omnissa is bringing Apps on Demand to physical Windows endpoints and IGEL’s Managed Hypervisor™ offering the same agility and security for apps running locally at the edge.
A Deeper Integration Between Omnissa and IGEL
Omnissa and IGEL engineering teams have worked closely to make this integration seamless.
With the latest integration, customers can:
- Install the App Volumes Agent directly on Windows VMs running within IGEL Managed Hypervisor™ .
- Deliver apps dynamically to Windows VMs on IGEL Managed Hypervisor so apps follow the user wherever they work.
- Manage all Windows apps centrally through App Volumes Manager across virtual, physical and IGEL endpoints with full visibility into what’s deployed and where.
This makes IGEL Managed Hypervisor not only a secure, managed edge platform but also an extension of Omnissa’s universal app lifecycle management bridging physical, virtual, and remote environments.
The Value for You
Customers gain the best of both worlds:
- Performance at the edge – Run Windows apps locally on IGEL Managed Hypervisor while maintaining full IT control.
- Unified management – Manage every app and endpoint—virtual or physical—from one console.
- Security & compliance – Reduce attack surfaces by delivering apps only when needed and reverting instantly if required.
- Lower TCO – Minimize image maintenance, packaging overhead, and infrastructure costs.
With Omnissa App Volumes and IGEL Managed Hypervisor, organizations can deliver any app, anywhere—with true Apps on Demand flexibility.
Looking Ahead
Omnissa and IGEL are continuing to innovate across app delivery, endpoint management, and experience insights. This collaboration creates new opportunities to simplify operations and strengthen security as organizations modernize their environments.
Together, Omnissa and IGEL are redefining what’s possible for Windows app delivery—from the datacenter to the edge.
