IGEL Technology, the world’s leading provider of Linux-based thin clients, has expanded its existing collaboration with Red Hat. Effective immediately, all Linux-based thin client solutions available from IGEL can also be used as customized end-user devices for accessing virtual desktops provisioned by means of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops. As a result, both companies together now offer a high-performance, open source solution for accessing Windows or Linux-based virtual desktops.

The market for thin client is more open than it was three or more years ago and a lot of us are unsure which thin client to use in our virtual desktop infrastructure. We are also unaware of the options available to us. Based on the feedback from a previous article – Panologic vs. Wyse I have collated a list of thin client manufactures/suppliers. I hope list will act as a thin client guide or somewhere for you to start on your road to VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) implementation.
