IGEL Secure Endpoint OS
for Now and Next
IGEL is a transformative secure endpoint OS designed for SaaS, DaaS, VDI and secure browser environments. IGEL significantly reduces endpoint TCO and your endpoint attack surface.
In the event of calamities such as storms, fires, water leaks, or large-scale events like the NATO summit in The Hague in June, which may render some offices inaccessible, COIN Availability Services provides a solution. As a specialist in business continuity, COIN ensures that organizations have fully operational disaster recovery workspaces, allowing them to continue working without interruption when their regular locations become unavailable.
“Just as a solid insurance package protects against financial setbacks, COIN protects business operations from operational disruptions,” explains Martin Keuzenkamp, CEO of COIN Availability Services.
COIN manages a total of 850 disaster recovery workspaces spread across the Netherlands (200), Luxembourg (600), and Belgium (50). Their clients must adhere to strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs), even during incidents such as fires, water leaks, or other unforeseen events that render their primary work location inaccessible.
When employees can no longer work from their office, they must be able to continue their tasks without interruption. COIN’s added value lies in facilitating this transition as seamlessly as possible, without lengthy configurations or manual installations. For clients, the stakes are high: failing to meet SLAs can result in reputational damage, financial losses, and even contract breaches.
In disaster recovery situations, flexibility and scalability are paramount. COIN must be able to meet the dynamic needs of clients who might face various unforeseen disruptions at any given time. The requirement is not just to deliver an immediate solution but also to scale efficiently and cost-effectively, depending on the specific circumstances.
In 2016, COIN made a strategic decision to adopt IGEL solutions. After a successful test, the company immediately bought 1,500 licenses—a success story they presented at IGEL Disrupt, IGEL’s annual event. COIN now uses IGEL OS on thin clients, managed via the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS).
“With IGEL, we can quickly and securely provide workspaces for our clients. Thanks to centralized management and the pay-as-you-go model, we are more flexible than ever,” confirms Keuzenkamp.
The implementation of IGEL has delivered significant benefits for COIN. Workspaces are operational immediately, minimizing client downtime. Additionally, centralized management reduces costs. From a security perspective, the solution eliminates local data storage, lowering security risks. IT workloads are also reduced, as updates are managed centrally via cloud platforms rather than on individual devices.
COIN is now focusing on migrating to IGEL OS 12 to leverage the latest security and management capabilities. Additionally, the company looks forward to meeting similar organizations at Disrupt to exchange experiences and further strengthen the business continuity sector.
With increasing requirements for companies to have a Business Continuity Management plan, Keuzenkamp sees significant growth potential for COIN. The combination of their expertise and IGEL technology positions the company perfectly to meet this growing demand.
In a world where business disruptions can occur unexpectedly, COIN provides a reliable disaster recovery solution powered by IGEL technology. Just as fire insurance is essential for business properties, COIN acts as an insurance policy for business continuity, with IGEL thin clients serving as the technological backbone of this service.
