As part of our VMware Explore 2022 coverage, VMblog visits with Simon Townsend, Chief Marketing Officer at IGEL. IGEL has the solution for fully managed, secure endpoint access to any digital workspace that gives IT teams strong control and end-users the freedom to work as they wish in a hybrid world. Enabling choice of any cloud, from any device, anywhere, IGEL unlocks a collaborative and productive end user computing experience while solving the common security and management challenges required to compete and win in today’s world of hybrid work.

In this video, Townsend provides a quick overview of the company, and then goes into more detail on how they partner with VMware and its ecosystem. Find out what they specifically provide a VMware shop or VMware implementation, and what problems they solve for them.

Watch and learn as Townsend offers a great rundown of the company's technology, what they do, and what makes them unique and different in an otherwise crowded market. And find out what big trends and themes they see playing out in 2022 and 2023.

Find out how IGEL is partnering with VMware and Microsoft, and how they are helping to extend the Anywhere Workspace and enabling Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS).  Townsend also talks about a great IGEL campaign called "Why Compromise," currently being run with their partners, LG, Lenovo, and ControlUp.
