LG Electronics and IGEL, a provider of an operating system for cloud workspaces, are joining forces to include the IGEL OS pre-loaded on many of LG's thin client displays, starting in the spring of 2022, according to a company press release.

"We are on a mission to elevate work-from-anywhere by making it possible for organizations to use IGEL OS in the delivery of a secure, high-fidelity digital workspace experience from any cloud, and on any endpoint," Jed Ayres, CEO, IGEL, said in the release. "The out-of-the-box availability of IGEL OS on select LG All-in-One thin clients is yet another historic moment in IGEL's evolution as we continue to expand our partner ecosystem and align ourselves with the world's leading hardware manufacturers.

Through the IGEL Universal Management Suite software, users of LG's endpoint cloud displays can use a secure endpoint security and optimization system.

"Achieving IGEL OS validation for our All-in-One Thin Client solutions represents another milestone in LG's continued collaboration with the IGEL team as we help our mutual customers and partners optimize the end user computing experience," Kim Bong-soak, LG's vice president of IT Vertical Sales, said in the release.

IGEL OS will ship pre-loaded on LG 24CN650/CL600 LG All-in-One Thin Clients and desktop computers starting in spring 2022. Testing and validation of these endpoints was performed through LG's participation in the IGEL Ready program at the Strategic Platform Partner level. The two companies are also collaborating in the global delivery and support of the integrated solutions.

The IGEL Ready program, established in July 2020, includes more than 100 technology partners providing hardware, software, and peripheral solutions that have been verified for use with IGEL OS. LG is one of the inaugural partners in the new IGEL Ready Strategic Platform Level.
