The IGEL Managed Hypervisor enables seamless integration with converged IT and OT networks, supporting network segmentation and zero-trust architectures to reduce attack surfaces and enforce strict access controls. With IGEL Ready partner integration, remote troubleshooting, and security updates, it ensures high availability and operational continuity for critical environments — including those that could otherwise be trending toward obsolescence or in need of a costly hardware and software overhaul.

“The launch of IGEL Managed Hypervisor is a defining moment for enterprise computing,” said Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL. “As organizations work to converge IT and OT infrastructure while maintaining access to critical legacy applications, IGEL is delivering a breakthrough solution. With IGEL Managed Hypervisor, enterprises can extend the life of their software and hardware investments, enhance endpoint security, and modernize at their own pace — without disruption.”

IGEL has successfully tested the new hypervisor with devices from IGEL’s three top platform partners: HP, Lenovo, and LG. The IGEL Managed Hypervisor marks a breakthrough in enterprise computing, giving organizations the flexibility to run legacy apps and operating systems securely on the latest hardware. This not only extends the lifespan of critical OT environments but also fortifies endpoint security—allowing enterprises to modernize on their own terms. We are proud to collaborate with our partners to deliver practical next-generation solutions that enable secure, future-ready computing.

Built on IGEL’s secure endpoint operating system and the Preventative Security Model™, the IGEL Managed Hypervisor allows organizations to break the dependency between aging operating systems and outdated hardware. It enables legacy Windows environments—common in operational technology (OT) use cases like manufacturing, energy, and industrial sectors—to run securely on modern devices, helping reduce vulnerabilities and improve manageability.

The hypervisor supports remote management, centralized policy enforcement, and integration with IGEL Ready ecosystem partners, giving IT teams more control and flexibility across hybrid infrastructures. With the ability to securely isolate legacy workloads, it becomes a key enabler for zero-trust strategies while preserving mission-critical business operations.

Unlocking the Future of Secure, Flexible Computing

The IGEL Managed Hypervisor addresses a critical industry need by providing organizations with:

  • Extended Software Investment Value – Extend the life of legacy operating systems and apps securely on modern endpoint devices.
  • Seamless Digital Transformation – Modernize IT infrastructure at the pace of business without disrupting critical business operations.
  • Enhanced Security and Compliance – Fortify endpoint security while maintaining regulatory compliance.
