All right, thanks. Three, two, one. All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of IGEL Weekly. I&#8217;m one of your hosts, Donaldson, systems engineer at XenTegra and I&#8217;ve got with me Chris Feeney. Chris, how you doing today? Friend from IGEL?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (00:39.079)<br \/>Yes, sir. Great to be back once again. Exciting week last week. Lots of things to talk about today, so I&#8217;m looking forward to our conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (00:49.905)<br \/>Yeah, to say the least. Yeah, so what you&#8217;re referring to there is we were just at IGEL now in Next 26 down in Miami. Awesome conference, beautiful venue. What did you think of the hotel and the setup and everything? I got a backstage look before the conference and I was quite impressed with all the work you guys did.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (01:07.825)<br \/>Yeah, and I had something to compare it to from last year in our first chance at that venue. So compared to that 10x in terms of what the marketing team did and events team, they really changed sort of how the expo was laid out and added some really cool other things that I thought made the conference extra special this year. So.<\/p>\n<p>Bravo to the team that did the most with the venue and what we had so<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (01:38.021)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, absolutely. I might have gotten drug out on stage much to my chagrin, but I was glad I could provide some entertainment for people there, dance around for a little bit. But a lot of announcements, incredible number of announcements, so much that we don&#8217;t have time to probably go through all of them today. But I was quite blown away with just sitting in those keynotes that we had each day.<\/p>\n<p>not only from the special guests that we had and some really cool conversations on new things that are happening with AI and what&#8217;s going on with the security landscape. We had General, goodness, I&#8217;m gonna blank on his name right now. Thank you, thank you very much. He was just absolutely excellent talking about the security landscape as he saw it as a previous director of the NSA and just some scary stuff there, but also very pressing.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (02:23.089)<br \/>Nakasui.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (02:39.217)<br \/>all the stuff we&#8217;ve got going on in the world. From the standpoint of all these announcements, man, where do we start first, right? You know, like one of the things that is a constant starting point in a talk that we have quite a bit, I think we might even mention in last show, is the adaptive secure endpoint platform, right? You know, that&#8217;s kind of the core of everything you guys are doing. You wanna talk about that for a little bit?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (02:59.356)<br \/>Oui, c'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (03:03.323)<br \/>Yeah, so that&#8217;s been, we&#8217;ve been talking about this now for over a year or so when we began sort of framing up how we spoke about the idea. We didn&#8217;t even include platform at first, but now we do. But the adaptive piece was sort of out there as this idea and it really was kind of tying into the Zero Trust architecture conversation and components around that integrations with other vendors in the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>But the adaptive part really began on a couple things, right? We always had this feature in older versions of the product. We called it Shared Workplace and it was really designed for shared workstations. But the idea that you could put IGEL set up with an identity layer just like you log into your Mac or your laptop or whatever. once you get through that identity layer, then the desktop itself can<\/p>\n<p>You can have policies or configurations not just tied to the device, but also the user identity. And so some examples early on, for example, would be like shift workers that come in and out use the same machine, hoteling space type thing. And let&#8217;s say I am colorblind, right? And so when I log in, maybe I need the screen or the background to change or something, or maybe I&#8217;m a left-handed guy and I need a left-handed mouse or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>it might be. And so you could tie these types of things, but not only that, the users, their roles within the organization. And so this idea that maybe I have a different role and when I log in, I only need to see a certain amount of things. But when you log in, you have an administrator type role or manager role, whatever it might be, and you need to see an extra set of things. so this adaptive thing is what we sort of announced kind of<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (04:42.333)<br \/>Man.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (04:56.807)<br \/>and going to market with that. And it also includes some integrations with some of those ecosystem vendors where we started this last year with a project with Cisco to integrate RUMS with the ICE product. And there&#8217;s API calls happening between the two. And then we&#8217;ve since extended that out with we&#8217;re integrating with Forescout. And so sort of this next<\/p>\n<p>layer. there will be several aspects of this that we kind of went through in detail there last week at the conference. But that adaptive part is sort of what we&#8217;re releasing now in the next iteration of UMS and the IGEL OS as well. So pretty exciting to see that.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (05:37.937)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>And so, so for everybody out there that&#8217;s listening right now, each of these announcements, well, there&#8217;s a blog, obviously, we have a press release where we can see all of the 23 announcements that are, that we just saw. But will there be some additional video content and whatnot that makes it up to YouTube, do you think? Or are they sharing any of the sessions? I think they were live streaming some of them, weren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (06:04.68)<br \/>They were they also have on our website you can register to have access to the streaming of the keynotes and stuff and maybe some other presentations too, but but the keynotes for sure the web page is up and I saw I went like you said you kind of got a backstage pass or whatever I went back and to the green room and<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (06:26.735)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (06:29.425)<br \/>Talked to our web developer, webmaster, and Saul. He was already piecing stuff together to make it available. But yeah, it&#8217;s available now. I think you can register on it, and then you&#8217;ll get access to see these things. As far as beyond that, yes, our product marketing team and others will be putting more detail. Our KB knowledge base is also getting updated. So as these things come out, we&#8217;ll have more information specifically.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (06:57.836)<br \/>Neat. Neat. Well, it&#8217;s always fun to able to go back and look at those keynotes. I know I&#8217;m going to have to do that just because so much was announced that my brain&#8217;s still kind of swimming from last week. You come back into the office and you&#8217;re catching up on everything. I want to really go back in. I want to dive into some of this stuff. One of the things that you kind of touched on there when you were talking about the adaptive secure endpoint platform was the idea of intelligent contextual access, which was another announcement.<\/p>\n<p>And some of that goes towards, say, dynamic trust, right? Where we have, and we used to do this at my old, my old vendor was one of our key kind of like claims to fame, but the idea of continuously evaluating a user, right? Whether they are, well, excuse me, not just a user, but a user, a device, where somebody or something is at from a location standpoint and build out that kind of persona-based layer so that we are<\/p>\n<p>are building in not only contextualized kind of environment for them, say that, like you said, they&#8217;re colorblind or whatever, but also based on where they&#8217;re at during their day. as you progress throughout your day, your context changes. You may switch from being at a coffee shop to being at home. You may be trying to access a certain application that has very sensitive data in it. And while you&#8217;re doing that at home, that&#8217;s not something that we as IT admins.<\/p>\n<p>you to be able to do, but when you&#8217;re in the office, that&#8217;s definitely something that we want you to be able to do, right? That&#8217;s part of your job. The other thing would be kind of the idea of blast radius reduction, right? You know, automatically restricting peripherals and sensitive apps, like I just mentioned, sensitive data when&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>your context changes, right? Whether that&#8217;s something like USB port lockdown or app masking or, you know, hardening the session in a different way. So I thought that was a really, really cool kind of way to approach what we are doing at that edge, right? Where we sit with IGEL So really closes up a big gap in security, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (09:00.113)<br \/>Yeah, no, that&#8217;s great thing. on Thursday, we actually had an ecosystem boot camp where we kind of dove into that a little bit more in depth with the product manager behind it. And I think about this week, about a year ago, have every annual, every May, we have what&#8217;s called a strategy and focus day in Germany. And so we were discussing this concept and the idea and they were kind of laying out the framework for what it would do. So fast forward less than a year and then<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (09:20.337)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (09:28.965)<br \/>Now we kind of have built it out and are preparing to release it. But that&#8217;s the general idea is that it&#8217;ll tie into things like your network that you&#8217;re on, as well as some geolocation components. And so based on that, it&#8217;ll put a trust score, confidence level type stuff, and that&#8217;ll contribute to does the device reconfigure itself based on that and restrict access to certain things based on<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (09:40.859)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (09:48.539)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (09:58.565)<br \/>what the outcome is.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (10:00.401)<br \/>Yeah, yeah, awesome. Well, you know, like I said, we couldn&#8217;t go through all of this, but there were some announcements that I thought were really cool. One of them being IT for OT and some adaptive security there. Now we won&#8217;t drive into that too heavily. may need a whole session for that, yeah, that&#8217;s really an idea of, you know, this OT space, whether you&#8217;re manufacturing or, you know, you&#8217;re talking about building management systems or other items that have<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (10:17.071)<br \/>I agree, yeah, definitely.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (10:29.853)<br \/>very legacy OSes or firmwares or other types of components that can&#8217;t run in modern, you know, within a modern context. So that was really cool being able to see that supported by the modern hypervisor, excuse me, by the managed hypervisor that Igel provides as well as this idea of managed containers that are coming up. So I wanna leave the containers for later in the hypervisor later. That is really cool technology. I suggest everybody goes out and looks at it.<\/p>\n<p>Was there something that really stood out for you in that announcement or in another announcement that you wanted to go with here?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (11:05.351)<br \/>I think, like I with respect to IMH, and we can definitely go into more of a larger podcast on that, it&#8217;s just sort of here we introduced something initially to address this idea of some of the challenges with the OT and old legacy systems. But since it&#8217;s come out, we&#8217;ve begun to start to see additional use cases. So we announced, for example, published apps.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (11:21.981)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (11:33.701)<br \/>but throw in the fact that there&#8217;s customers saying, I want to get it away from VDI, but they still have applications that still need a Windows framework to run that they&#8217;re not completely webified yet. so IMH, if the hardware will support running a virtual machine, has gotten more of attention. And so we&#8217;re starting to see some additional use cases outside of the OT environment on the IT side of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (11:47.58)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (12:01.554)<br \/>So that was exciting to see sort of where we&#8217;re headed with that, as well as adding additional management components, the backup or store pieces that they&#8217;ve talked about. And then of course, the container stuff, I&#8217;m gonna bring in an expert on that, because that&#8217;s not my cup of tea. But yeah, so it&#8217;s great to see sort of where this thing potentially is going.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (12:14.961)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (12:21.445)<br \/>Mm-hmm. Yeah, the containers, the AI pieces, it was so much to take in. It was really, really incredible stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (12:29.743)<br \/>Yeah, it&#8217;s funny the AI piece right on on that. So you know we started hearing about I think AI. Two years ago it was I gels last disrupt conference right? The one we did at the diplomat in Hollywood, FL. And I remember Lenovo talked about a device with AI support whatever and we started seeing AI copilot PCs and just this general idea that they&#8217;re pushing AI compute.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (12:42.119)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (12:59.033)<br \/>with NPUs and stuff down to the edge and then not really much happening. Obviously, AI has taken a huge leaps exponentially in that time, but starting to see customers wanting to leverage that, but putting some protections around AI if they&#8217;re running it at the edge. And so this AI armor thing that was announced on the second day would love to, you<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (13:14.193)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (13:25.223)<br \/>get another podcast on that topic alone because that actually is a really cool thing that I think we&#8217;ll see more of that as people begin to leverage the hardware that they already have. I mean, think about it, right? mean, somebody puts out like, I want to do a video with AI, right? The amount of processing that&#8217;s happening behind the scenes in the data center and how much electricity you&#8217;re using, whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (13:37.021)<br \/>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (13:49.604)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (13:53.186)<br \/>Yeah<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (13:54.726)<br \/>I mean, it&#8217;s getting kind of nuts where people like, hey, know, chopping trees down or whatever it might be to compute that little image you just wrote up there. So exciting to kind of see where we&#8217;re going with that.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (14:01.131)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (14:10.393)<br \/>Yep. All right. Well, let&#8217;s shift gears a little bit. One of the things that I wanted to get into and ask you about are the strategic cloud alliances or the strategic alliances in general that were announced, right? One of them being Microsoft Blueprints. So, validated reference architectures for AVD and Windows 365 specifically. That was a really cool announcement, if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (14:23.377)<br \/>Oui.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (14:32.507)<br \/>Yeah, and up on our website already. So on the IGEL.com there&#8217;s a Microsoft section and you&#8217;ll see them right there. And so they have sort of built those out already. I think one is health care. Another one is contact center, for example. And then of course sort of just is also there&#8217;s more that was also discussed about our growing partnership with Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (14:40.326)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (15:02.247)<br \/>with Scott Manchester leaving. He was the main guy. now at Nerdio. So we got a whole thing on Nerdio we could talk about too that he presented on with his keynote. just sort of just advancing towards the whole larger Microsoft partnership. I actually got called in and realized this, but I got asked, can you help present with Microsoft on Tuesday?<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (15:04.71)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (15:30.083)<br \/>So wasn&#8217;t on my agenda originally but I went in there and kind of helped with that guy and I met some of the team there and so I think it was great to collaborate with him on that presentation and He was presenting on all the things they&#8217;ve done with ABD over the last five years or whatever since they launched It was pretty cool to see some of the stuff I don&#8217;t know if you were in that but one of the cooler things that I saw if you remember was the Latency piece. I don&#8217;t remember what was called but you know, let&#8217;s say we&#8217;re running this out of an AVD session and<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (15:31.677)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (15:46.682)<br \/>It was.<\/p>\n<p>I was.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (15:54.235)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (15:58.626)<br \/>link drops or whatever it just seamlessly switches over and there&#8217;s no hiccup or whatever. was actually cool to see that and they had just recently pushed that out.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (16:04.059)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (16:11.291)<br \/>The protocol is really doing some number on, based on what we&#8217;ve seen in the past, right? Like it has improved leaps and bounds and then the additional technologies that wrapping around that for reliability and connectivity is just, it&#8217;s very cool to see the platform growing.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (16:30.535)<br \/>Yeah, and of course related to our support for those things along with the blueprints was we announced a consolidated IGEL for Windows app. So this is pulling. We previously had AVD app and a Windows 365 app. We&#8217;ve now brought those two together under one code base essentially and we&#8217;re effectively deprecating our Windows 365 app, so it&#8217;ll just be that and they actually released it.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (16:40.285)<br \/>Correct.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (16:59.815)<br \/>either late Friday or early Monday. So it&#8217;s now out there available. So that&#8217;s kind of where we&#8217;re headed. And a lot of that was involved with working with Microsoft&#8217;s dev team and the SDK you get with that.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (17:16.497)<br \/>Yep, very cool. Very, very cool. One of the other announcements as far as those alliances were concerned was with Omnisa and it&#8217;s not just Omnisa, but in their case, the new telemetry items that we talked about in our last podcast, we&#8217;re going to start seeing some deep integrations there, right? So whether it&#8217;s essentially our telemetry coming in, iJELTS telemetry coming in, and then being focused up into<\/p>\n<p>workspace one so that we can have broader views into the environment and how those individual compute experiences that Dex experience really is. I I thought that was a pretty cool addition to the platform. A lot of people are gonna be happy about that.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (17:57.308)<br \/>Yeah, definitely great to see one of those partner integrations leveraging the APIs that we built out for the insights component. So I think I don&#8217;t know if we put anything out there specific on our website yet on that, but there will be details coming for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (18:15.555)<br \/>Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, some of the other things I know out there with healthcare, we&#8217;ve got the Improvada facial recognition announcement, which was pretty neat.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (18:24.071)<br \/>yeah, so yeah, so I&#8217;m laughing because It&#8217;s not exactly as it put out there and I didn&#8217;t I didn&#8217;t recognize it initially But wanted to clarify for the folks listening to the podcast So we did have improvata on stage the CEO Fran did a great job. I thought honestly, he did an amazing job Speaking and and we had been working Collaboratively with them on bringing a web SSO solution now what that means is<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (18:34.394)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (18:44.285)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (18:53.285)<br \/>I mean, improvata has been in the SSO business for years. I spent 13 years there. I mean, they&#8217;ve been in that space for a while, but originally it was drag, drop, learn screens and with web based apps, was where the credential fields and then as modern off mechanisms came about, you started seeing the rise of federated or OIDC or SAML. And so after I came to IGEL, improvata<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (19:00.091)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (19:18.947)<br \/>ultimately built solutions around support for OIDC, SAML, and Federated. And so our partnership was around introducing the badge tap familiar experience or however you authenticate and then launch a browser and you just get seamlessly logged in. So we&#8217;re not credential stuffing and so we worked jointly with Improvata on building the components there and then began bringing it together.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (19:23.739)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (19:45.031)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (19:48.614)<br \/>We have it now in tech preview for as far as browsers on IGEL right now, it&#8217;s Chromium and Edge. And then we&#8217;re working on a collaboratively with Island and Improvata to add that one. And then if there&#8217;s other Chromium based browsers, maybe in the future, but those are the main ones. And a lot of that is being driven by customer demand. But what was really cool to see at the Improvata demo booth on Tuesday, we kind of got this set up and then they actually,<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (19:55.495)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (20:18.905)<br \/>had introduced facial recognition. You know, and they&#8217;re looking at it for logging into the device and that type of thing. And so we are we have that on our road map for when they basically are going to provide us an SDK. But it&#8217;s not out. But that being said, what we what was demoed was, hey, I&#8217;m going to tap in, launch this browser, get logged in. And then they had a basically a demo EHR and then the doctor goes to sign the order. And the web app.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (20:24.327)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (20:30.609)<br \/>Gotcha.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (20:38.321)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (20:46.141)<br \/>Great.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (20:47.217)<br \/>call, does an OIDC call to the improvata appliance in the cloud and then you get this little web pop-up right there on the IGEL device with the camera like we&#8217;re using here on the podcast. The guy puts his face in front of it and then gets a push notification to his phone or he had his watch on his iWatch and he just clicked it and it was and it ties into this whole passwordless authentication where they&#8217;re going and<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (20:55.901)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (21:02.717)<br \/>Right. It was so cool.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (21:08.486)<br \/>Absolument.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (21:10.471)<br \/>And so it was very exciting to see. We didn&#8217;t do any coding for that. It was already there. And so while it was up on stage on this page I&#8217;m sharing here, I just wanted a little caveat. So we do plan on officially announcing it. But it was exciting to see sort of that nice little present on my Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (21:20.433)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (21:32.047)<br \/>Right, right. you have&#8230; Remind me, you were at Improvata for a long while, weren&#8217;t you? Yeah, that&#8217;s what I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (21:36.569)<br \/>yeah, almost 13 years. And so I actually came to IGEL to leave healthcare. I&#8217;m like, I&#8217;m going into doing something new. And that was US Federal, which kind of ties back into a lot of the Zero Trust stuff we&#8217;re now working on. So I&#8217;ve had a chance to live in both worlds here at IGEL. It&#8217;s kind of come full circle, if you will.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (21:43.015)<br \/>Yeah<\/p>\n<p>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (21:53.969)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I started out in healthcare myself and I&#8217;ve always loved the vertical. There&#8217;s something about being in IT and feeling like you&#8217;re doing something very useful and helpful for the rest of society. My wife does law and when she was doing contract law, not so much. Now that she&#8217;s helping people with benefits and qualifying for Medicare and that kind of stuff, feels much better about her day in and day out. felt I always kind of related the two.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (22:21.915)<br \/>Yeah, well, I spent a lot of enough time in that space that, you know, I was, you know, certainly selling and solutioning into that. And then fast forward, you find yourself on the other side of that, whether it&#8217;s my case, my dad was a patient at a hospital where I had, where we had sold and implemented improvata and I got to watch the nurse, you know, badge in and badge out. like, and then at some point I became the patient, you know, or whatever. And I&#8217;m watching this happen in the same<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (22:40.893)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (22:45.273)<br \/>D'accord.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (22:51.599)<br \/>facility here. so it kind of again come full circle, but it was very odd because I remember when they were first testing and trying to trust that. I see IGEL and a lot of this is we&#8217;re getting the word out. Who are we? What are we doing? And there&#8217;s a lot of folks that I looked at you like five years ago when we were a thin client company, but that&#8217;s definitely no longer the case. So a lot of the excitement here is around where we&#8217;re going. I think the industry<\/p>\n<p>and the press and all that other stuff reflected that, especially some of these partnerships that were announced like we&#8217;re talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (23:23.676)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (23:27.335)<br \/>Right, right. I&#8217;m trying to think of the other ones. So we had some contact center conversations. We had manufacturing conversations. I think with the contact center, one of the cool items I remember was AI speech translation. So real time accent normalization, real time noise removal. I&#8217;m trying to remember the details on that, but it just stuck in the back of my head there.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (23:43.853)<br \/>Oui.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (23:49.64)<br \/>Yeah, there&#8217;s a company. think this app is available in our portal. It&#8217;s a sonic, a sonal, sonus. Yeah, sonus. And yeah, so let&#8217;s say you have a contact center where the folks there have have a certain accents. You can actually have them speak in it automatically behind the scenes. AI kind of just changes it. You can pick your you could make it, you know, some sound somebody that&#8217;s got a British accent or whatever. You know, I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (23:54.427)<br \/>on this.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (24:17.443)<br \/>And so or even language translation. That&#8217;s another cool one too, which I hadn&#8217;t played with that yet, but we have seen that. And the in the health care space where you know they&#8217;re using AI, you know you go into the room and they often have a translator come in speaking with a with the cut. now they can just use AI and have it translate right there or record the conversation and then it gets translated as it goes in the chart. And so we&#8217;re starting to see these really cool use cases with AI. In fact, my last appointment that I went to.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (24:39.517)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (24:46.183)<br \/>The doctor comes in and has a mobile phone says do you mind if I just record the conversation and I was like I know what you&#8217;re doing That&#8217;s totally cool. I&#8217;m fine with that And and so because I had already spoken to like several months ago Every EHR vendor had already implemented and you know going away from hey, let me go separately dictate what we just talked about for the last hour Exactly, right and so but the cool thing is to your to your point where you made about your wife, right? It&#8217;s giving people time back<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (25:00.347)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (25:06.329)<br \/>Every doctor&#8217;s love right there, right?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (25:14.983)<br \/>end of the day, this is great tech, but it&#8217;s really giving them time back. And so that was one of the things that came about from a webinar I heard about this with the use of AI and finding practical use cases is that doctors, I mean, they went to have got to dictate and document, but they&#8217;d often find themselves doing it in the evening hours and taking away from family time. so even nurses too, right. And so I&#8217;ve seen solutions where they&#8217;re using this dictation piece, whether you&#8217;re a nurse or doctor, and it&#8217;s all feeding into the chart where they can validate it.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (25:33.657)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (25:44.421)<br \/>make sure everything&#8217;s good before they apply it, but it&#8217;s just about giving them time back in their day. And so it&#8217;s exciting to kind of see where this is actually having an impact down at the endpoint level where users do their work.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (25:45.693)<br \/>Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (25:49.851)<br \/>Yeah, absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (25:57.341)<br \/>Well, it&#8217;s funny because that was, saying again, I got my start in healthcare and as a Citrix architect and one of the things that always was crazy to me was the, okay, we need to shave five seconds, 10 seconds off the login time. It&#8217;s like, okay, is that really that big a deal? But when you talk to a doctor and you actually get into their day and talk to those frontline providers, one of the things you&#8217;ll find is if I&#8217;m going in and I&#8217;m seeing, instead of 25 patients, I&#8217;m seeing 40 patients a day now, right?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (26:13.201)<br \/>C'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (26:26.237)<br \/>and you put that extra 10, 15, 20 seconds on that login time, that extends their day by quite a bit when you add that up. And then not only that, if the medical record software and the dictation software, if that&#8217;s not all jiving and it&#8217;s not doing what it needs to do, and they&#8217;re spending, like you said, extra time after hours, their day is a lot longer. And that we all can understand, right? Nobody wants to spend an extra hour, two, or three just because technology isn&#8217;t where it needs to be, but we&#8217;re forced to use it, right?<\/p>\n<p>So one of the things that I love about IGEL, and I love about this, the UC space that I&#8217;m in is now our focus is how do we improve that employee experience? And that&#8217;s a lot of what we talked about at now next as well is how do we improve that digital employee experience? How can we make sure that not only do we have observability into an environment, into the way our technology is working, but how am I better integrating technology across the stack? And how is that?<\/p>\n<p>that affecting people&#8217;s real lives, right? And so, you know, to that point, you know, we&#8217;ve got other industries announcements, whether it was the FIPS announcement, which is incredible, obviously that takes a lot of work. We&#8217;ve got integrations with other vendors. We&#8217;ve got the AI armor that we mentioned. We&#8217;ve got&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Even things like ARM support coming up here. So we have additional devices that we can use. And I would love to spend time on ARM. I don&#8217;t know how much time we have left here today, but I think that the reintroduction of ARM into the IGEL ecosystem is gonna be huge, personally.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (27:47.784)<br \/>Oui, c'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (28:01.371)<br \/>Yeah, so it&#8217;s interesting on that. I just ran across a scenario yesterday where we had a customer where they bought a while back where we were still a thin client company. And we had devices that couldn&#8217;t make the leap to OS12. Exactly, yeah. So it&#8217;s got probably got two gigs of RAM or something like that. But just not enough from a bare minimum perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (28:20.199)<br \/>Got one right behind me.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (28:30.778)<br \/>This customer was in retail and it was interesting that they were actually looking to make an improvement to their at the floors where they&#8217;re doing. And so they began going down the tablet route. I don&#8217;t know what tablet they ended up choosing. And it was just that plus a browser. You that was it. In this case, the island one. But you know, but the ARM platform, you know, we do have some devices and as we, you know, we&#8217;re doing a very much a crawl walk run with that.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (28:38.045)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (28:48.157)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (29:00.795)<br \/>And I know that was announced a little bit more in detail and sort of what specific types of devices but also use cases. But so I hope that that will allow us to expand into these areas where we traditionally haven&#8217;t been sitting on these ARM devices. There&#8217;s plenty of x86 64-bit devices out there that we can run on. But the tablet, I we can do stuff on a x86 64-bit tablet too.<\/p>\n<p>It will be great to see kind of where that will go. And again, at the end of the day, it&#8217;s a form factor. Does it help me do my job or help me effectively work? so I know I kind of, this is in my lab here, my office, I&#8217;ve got multiple types of devices and I&#8217;ll carry with me several. And so having IGEL being able to be in a multifaceted sort of scenario that we can work across multiple type devices.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (29:40.413)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (29:49.917)<br \/>Absolument.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (29:56.753)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (29:58.354)<br \/>seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (30:00.701)<br \/>I know I have my laptops, multiple laptops. I&#8217;ve got Android devices. I&#8217;ve got iOS devices, tablets and phones. I&#8217;ve got my watch. I&#8217;ve got my health ring. You know, like, I mean, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s anymore, like, you think about all the different devices that, that affect you during your day. And one of the things that&#8217;s really cool is, well, I&#8217;ve taken this, this, it&#8217;s gotten beaten to me for years and years and years. My grandfather&#8217;s like, right device, or excuse me, not right device, right tool for the right job.<\/p>\n<p>And in this case, we&#8217;re adding additional devices here, which are no more than tools, right? We as an IT, what we try to do is we try to get the right thing into an end user&#8217;s hand so that they can do their job efficiently and effectively, right? And just to see the ecosystem expand out, provide those additional form factors, give people additional options, it&#8217;s just gonna make that digital employee experience better. It&#8217;s gonna make them more able to do their job and be more productive. And at of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (30:30.938)<br \/>Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (30:57.905)<br \/>go home and feel less stressed out, which I think we all want a little bit more of in this day and age. Now, can you think of anything else that maybe I forgot to highlight here? I know we&#8217;re gonna have time to talk about a lot of these announcements in more depth in a future shows, but I know there was the distribution partnership with Exclusive Networks that we didn&#8217;t talk about yet, some Palo Alto stuff. So I&#8217;m gonna leave it up to you. If there&#8217;s anything else out there you wanna throw out for this session.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (31:19.175)<br \/>Oui, c'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (31:24.744)<br \/>Well, the one that&#8217;s looking at me there is the Nerdio manager, IGEL UMS integration, which Scott Manchester, he keynoted on Wednesday, the second day. but they also, so that was really cool to see sort of, you know, he obviously he was our main guy that we worked with through WVD and then when ABD became and then three points to three to five. so long time advocate and a supporter of IGEL. And now he&#8217;s over at Nerdio doing some really cool stuff. And so<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (31:30.002)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (31:34.141)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (31:45.351)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (31:54.877)<br \/>They announced that integration last week. then at the same time, I had heard about this. know, remember, Microsoft announced this Windows Link product. And so it came out and you didn&#8217;t hear much about it. And then last summer I heard talking with some of our friends at Lenovo that they were looking at maybe the.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (32:04.701)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (32:08.817)<br \/>Yes, right.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (32:21.8)<br \/>becoming the manufacturer for that or providing another option. I think it was supposed to get announced at Ignite last year, but lo and behold, they announced this new Lenovo device that will have like a nine year lifespan. And it was specifically for cloud PC, Windows 365, but also can be easily, you know, with the Nerdio manager integration. So it was really cool to see that.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (32:36.445)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (32:49.936)<br \/>And then on top of that, I don&#8217;t know if you saw this week is Nutanix next. They just announced a Nerdio integration with Nutanix. And so you kind of begin to piece these joint solutions together. IGEL sitting at the endpoint. We don&#8217;t really care what your backend necessarily is. so seeing these additional values becoming together where you can take what you have or implement something new. We just want to be that secure endpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (33:00.284)<br \/>Oui.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (33:06.343)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (33:15.101)<br \/>Oui.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (33:18.952)<br \/>It would give you options. I like to call it the Swiss Army knife, right? It could be that today we&#8217;re on that device. You just need the toothpick, you know, but over here you might need the big knife component as well as the corkscrew, you know, and maybe that&#8217;s right exactly. So the right tool for the job. So that was an exciting one to see. And then on the BCDR front, we kind of highlighted that.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (33:22.973)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (33:34.11)<br \/>contextual access, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (33:47.401)<br \/>a couple times on stage, but there&#8217;s this new thing called emergency. Klaus on the picture here is standing in front of the, but emergency mode, I&#8217;m just gonna go with that. And so we haven&#8217;t released it yet, but it was a sort of, hey, here&#8217;s where we&#8217;re going. We need to, I think the general story was, hey, we have an incident over here. And in order to prevent it from infecting the blast radius, kind of prevent it, I&#8217;m just gonna.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (34:01.362)<br \/>Oui, c'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (34:13.853)<br \/>Correct.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (34:15.4)<br \/>press this button here and I&#8217;m gonna send out an immediate command to these devices. We&#8217;re going into emergency mode and then they switch over to IGEL&#8217;s BCDR dual boot, you know, automatically through a central push out. And so that&#8217;s exciting to kind of see where we&#8217;re going with that. And then it reminded me real quickly on, I remember,<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (34:26.791)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (34:32.413)<br \/>It was really cool.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (34:39.08)<br \/>When Jason McFarrah first got here, I had been introducing him to some of the leadership here, Matthias Haas and our CEO, Jed, at the time. That very day, we had a customer who had just bought these UD pockets. They got impacted by ransomware in some other location, but they were rapidly trying to deploy these things in other locations to keep those endpoints protected. And so I was thinking about that. Fast forward, it&#8217;s been four years. That&#8217;s kind of the idea. Let&#8217;s keep these things protected and try to control the<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (34:45.435)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (34:58.087)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (35:09.939)<br \/>the wave of this attack. I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve seen the show The Pit. They actually had a scenario where there&#8217;s a ransomware attack and they&#8217;re talking about it and I think right as they finished talking about it, their location gets hit.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (35:12.477)<br \/>Absolument.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (35:20.923)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (35:30.429)<br \/>Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (35:33.096)<br \/>skulls and crossbones and payment. I mean, so it was very interesting and they&#8217;re talking through the real life impact of what happens when those things occur and you&#8217;re back down to paper based systems and it&#8217;s crazy. And so it feels great to be in an industry where we can have a solution to prevent those things from happening.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (35:41.799)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (35:53.28)<br \/>Absolutely. Well, hey, and for a guy like me who likes to play around with technology and constantly is looking back and forth between OSes, I&#8217;m loving my dual boot scenario. I&#8217;ve got my gel up on my laptop right over here. And when I&#8217;m ready to go back to home, I&#8217;ll flip over to Windows.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (36:04.271)<br \/>Oui, c'est vrai.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;ve got it too on several machines. I&#8217;ve got this big old 38-inch all-in-one from LG, which is dual booted. then, do you want that, bud? Do you want it?<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (36:12.125)<br \/>Mm-hmm. Oh God, I missed that one. No, well, yeah sure. You know what&#8217;s funny is I had that running right next to this 49-incher I&#8217;m running right here and my son was chasing, my seven-year-old was chasing the cat in and bumped my desk, tipped it right forward. Poor thing. It had a good run.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (36:30.408)<br \/>well, you can thank our old friend Mr. Bruce Poore. He sent that to me, so I got to give a shout out to Bruce.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (36:37.231)<br \/>okay, yep.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (36:42.833)<br \/>Brucie. We all love you, Bruce. Take care. So, hey, I think this is a great episode. Like I said earlier on, we were talking about earlier on, there is a ton of announcements that we encourage you to go out, look at the website, check out the videos that are coming out, check out the blogs that are out there. There&#8217;ll be more and more. You know, we&#8217;ve only been back for a couple of days and people are still getting acclimated back into work. But I know between taxes and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Spring break and Citrix&#8217;s license change and everything else. I know our world is insane, but we&#8217;ll come back. We&#8217;ll talk about, I want to get into again, the AI armor. want to get into the containers. I want to get into the published applications that you can do through the Ito Managed Hypervisor. There&#8217;s just a lot of stuff that we can pull those layers of the onions back. So unless you have anything else that you&#8217;d like to dive into right now, I think this is a good place to.<\/p>\n<p>Say goodbye and and we&#8217;ll catch you next week because we&#8217;ll be doing this once a week now<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (37:46.418)<br \/>Yeah, the only last thing I would say is that they also announced it&#8217;s not up on here, but they are taking this on the road again. So we will be having one day events. IGEL Road shows. I think it&#8217;s now next on tour is the official thing. I wasn&#8217;t sure if that was actually going to happen, but they did put some dates in cities worldwide. So if you weren&#8217;t able to make it to Miami,<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (37:55.356)<br \/>Alright!<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (38:08.007)<br \/>That&#8217;s awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Feeney (38:16.04)<br \/>We&#8217;ll put those out there soon and if one is nearby, we&#8217;d love to have you guys join us there as well and you&#8217;ll get to hear more about this too. So that&#8217;s the only last thing I would say for today.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (38:22.642)<br \/>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Donnelson (38:26.961)<br \/>Yeah, I think there&#8217;s one in Chicago coming up that I&#8217;m gonna try and get to. So awesome, it&#8217;s neat to see. All right, well, thank you everybody. Again, this is IGEL Weekly. I&#8217;m Stu Donaldson and I got Chris Feeney here with me from IGEL and we thank you for tuning in and look forward to having you next week.
