New deployment workflow helps organizations prepare managed Windows endpoints for IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery™
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 30, 2026 /CNW/ -- IGEL®, a global software company delivering the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™, today announced it is working with Omnissa to validate a deployment workflow that will enable organizations to use Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM and Omnissa Freestyle Orchestrator to prepare supported Windows endpoints for IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery™ (IGEL BC&DR™). The announcement coincides with Omnissa ONE 2026, where IGEL and Omnissa are showcasing the integrated workflow for customers and partners.
Business continuity plans often focus on restoring applications, infrastructure, and data, but employees still need a working endpoint to reach those resources. The new deployment approach helps close that endpoint recovery gap by making IGEL BC&DR™ readiness easier to incorporate into everyday device-management operations. Using familiar Workspace ONE UEM workflows, IT teams can run pre-install checks and prepare supported endpoints for IGEL Dual Boot™, which installs IGEL OS alongside the existing Windows environment to provide an alternate operating path when a disruption occurs.
During a disruption, IGEL BC&DR™ with Emergency Mode can centrally move Dual Boot-enabled endpoints into IGEL OS and keep them there until administrators determine it is safe to return to normal operation. This helps users regain secure access to approved virtual desktops, digital workspaces, SaaS applications, and browser-based services while IT and security teams investigate and remediate the Windows environment.
"True resilience means helping people get back to work securely and quickly, not just bringing systems back online," said Sterling Wilson, Field CTO, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, IGEL. "By using automations within the Omnissa platform to operationalize IGEL BC&DR™ readiness, organizations can make endpoint recovery preparation a repeatable business process rather than a last-minute response."
Using Freestyle Orchestrator, organizations can run an IGEL pre-install check before deployment, allowing devices that meet defined prerequisites to move forward and identifying devices that require remediation before IGEL Dual Boot™ is installed. The approach is designed to add BC&DR readiness to existing Workspace ONE device-management operations while complementing existing investments in identity, virtual desktop, SaaS, security, and browser management.
"Freestyle Orchestrator gives organizations a flexible way to coordinate device workflows at scale," said Hemant Sahani, Vice President of Product Management. "Applied to IGEL BC&DR™ readiness, that same orchestration can help customers prepare more confidently for endpoint disruption."
The deployment workflow is currently being validated for supported environments using existing IGEL BC&DR™ and Omnissa Workspace ONE capabilities. Customers should validate hardware compatibility, storage requirements, firmware configuration, installer versions, and applicable security policies against current IGEL technical documentation before production deployment.
