IGEL OS Editions and Feature Packs
IGEL OS is a secure Linux-based operating system designed for enterprise browser, software as a service (SaaS), desktop as a service (DaaS), and virtual desktop (VDI) environments. It enables organizations to modernize their digital workspace while mitigating endpoint ransomware threats, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 75%. IGEL helps to minimize e-waste by extending the lifespan of devices.

There are six IGEL Editions and three optional Feature Packs that extend management capabilities and endpoint functionality for specific industry use cases.
