VMblog Expert Interview, Simon Townsend of IGEL Explores Global Chip Shortage Problem

In this episode of the VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we spoke with Simon Townsend, the Chief Marketing Officer at #IGEL, where we talk about the hardware and global #chipshortage that we're experiencing right now, which is also impacting the end user computing (#EUC) industry.

Quick background. IGEL provides the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces. The company’s world-leading software products include IGEL OS, IGEL UD Pocket (UDP) and IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS). These solutions comprise a more secure, manageable and cost-effective endpoint management and control platform across nearly any x86-64 device.

Watch this video interview as we discuss the global chip shortage. We'll discuss how bad the situation is, if there is any end in sight, as well as the key factors that are continuing to drive these shortages. What should your company be doing right now given the current situation. Windows 11 was recently announced, what impact could that have on the shortage? We're discussing all of this, as well as key take-aways from the recent G7 Summit.
