How Liquidware and IGEL Are Rewiring End User Computing

In a world where hybrid work, cybersecurity threats, and digital transformation dominate the enterprise landscape, Liquidware and IGEL are revolutionizing End User Computing (EUC) with cutting-edge solutions that empower organizations to thrive in the modern workplace.

Through their strategic partnership, these industry leaders are re-wiring EUC by delivering secure, scalable, and cost-effective digital workspace management, setting a new standard for innovation and user experience.

A Partnership Built on Innovation

Since their collaboration began, Liquidware and IGEL have been at the forefront of EUC evolution, combining Liquidware’s Digital Workspace Management solutions with IGEL’s next-generation secure endpoint OS, IGEL OS. This synergy has unlocked unparalleled capabilities for enterprises navigating the complexities of remote work, hybrid cloud deployments, and escalating security demands.

Their joint mission? To simplify IT management, enhance employee productivity, and future-proof digital workspaces.

“Liquidware and IGEL are redefining what’s possible in EUC,” said Jason E. Smith, VP of Product Marketing and Alliances at Liquidware.

“Our partnership delivers solutions that not only optimize the digital employee experience but also provide IT teams with the tools to manage, secure, and scale their environments with ease.”

Transforming Workspaces with Seamless Integration

At the heart of this partnership is the seamless integration of Liquidware’s Stratusphere™ UX and FlexApp™ with IGEL OS, enabling organizations to monitor, manage, and deliver applications across virtual, physical, and cloud-based workspaces.

A standout achievement is Liquidware’s Stratusphere UX app, the first to be published on the IGEL App Portal, providing real-time digital experience monitoring (DEM) to ensure optimal performance and user satisfaction.

This integration allows IT teams to:

• Monitor User Experience: Stratusphere UX, embedded in IGEL OS firmware, delivers detailed metrics on endpoint devices, applications, and network performance, empowering data-driven decisions to enhance productivity.
• Simplify Application Delivery: FlexApp, now integrated with Citrix CVAD and available through the IGEL App Portal, enables dynamic application attachment, streamlining management and ensuring secure, scalable deployments.
• Repurpose Hardware: The joint free assessment program helps organizations repurpose x86-64 devices into IGEL OS-powered endpoints, extending hardware lifecycles and reducing costs amid global chip shortages.

Jim Airdo, SVP of Strategic Alliances at IGEL, emphasized:

“Liquidware’s solutions amplify the power of IGEL OS, enabling our mutual customers to achieve a secure, manageable, and high-performing digital workspace.

Together, we’re driving innovation that meets the demands of today and anticipates the needs of tomorrow.”

Highlights from the Frontlines: IGEL Now & Next 2025

The recent IGEL Now & Next 2025 event in Miami showcased the partnership’s transformative impact. Liquidware’s presence highlighted their role in IGEL’s ecosystem, with demonstrations of how their solutions tackle key EUC challenges, from user experience monitoring to application delivery.

A key moment was Liquidware’s recognition as the first vendor to release an app on the IGEL App Store, earning the prestigious Pioneer App Award.

The event also unveiled IGEL’s new App Creator Portal, a game-changer for vendors and customers alike. This portal simplifies the development and deployment of custom apps within the IGEL ecosystem, further enhancing the flexibility of Liquidware’s offerings. Attendees saw firsthand how Liquidware’s CommandCTRL™ provides real-time diagnostics and remediation, ensuring seamless transitions between local and cloud-based desktops.

Navigating the Future of EUC

The EUC landscape is evolving rapidly, with trends like AI-driven management, Zero Trust security, and the rise of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) reshaping enterprise strategies. Liquidware and IGEL are addressing these shifts head-on:

• AI-Powered Insights: Liquidware’s solutions complement IGEL’s plans to expand telemetry capabilities, providing actionable insights for Zero Trust environments and digital employee experience (DEX) optimization.
• Security First: IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™, paired with Liquidware’s monitoring tools, minimizes endpoint attack surfaces by leveraging IGEL OS’s modular, read-only architecture.
• Cost Efficiency: By repurposing existing hardware and streamlining application delivery, the partnership helps organizations reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) while maintaining high performance.

Looking Ahead: A Future-Proof EUC Ecosystem

As enterprises face growing cyber threats, regulatory pressures, and the shift to browser-based applications, Liquidware and IGEL are paving the way for a resilient, agile EUC ecosystem. Their solutions empower IT teams to manage complex environments, deliver secure access to applications, and optimize user experiences—whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid setups.

“Together, Liquidware and IGEL are not just adapting to change; we’re driving it,” said Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL.

“Our innovations are built to reduce risk, lower costs, and empower organizations to thrive in a digital-first world.”
