In this episode of XenTegra On Air, host Chahat Arora sits down with Anas Naseem to unpack one of the most talked-about, but least clearly explained, components of modern digital workspaces: IGEL OS.

Designed as a follow-up to our VDI and thin client discussion, this conversation takes a true beginner-first approach. No heavy jargon. No tech overload. Just clear explanations and practical examples.

You’ll learn:

• What IGEL OS is and how it differs from traditional Windows endpoints
• Why a lightweight, purpose-built operating system reduces security risk
• How IGEL OS turns laptops, desktops, and thin clients into secure access gateways
• Why IT teams prefer centralized control over thousands of devices
• How organizations extend hardware life and cut endpoint costs by up to 50–60%

Using simple analogies and real-world scenarios common in large-scale environments, this episode explains why IGEL OS is especially relevant for enterprises managing VDI, cloud desktops, and high-security user environments across industries like IT services, healthcare, finance, education, and government.

If you’re supporting virtual desktops, planning an endpoint refresh, or trying to understand how modern workspace security actually works, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been looking for.
