Despite its diverse business operations, Park Holidays UK has successfully standardized its IT infrastructure using virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and thin client technology. By implementing a combined solution from IGEL and Citrix, Park Holidays UK has achieved several key benefits, including accelerated deployment of desktop services, simplified endpoint management, and enhanced security.
One of the notable advantages of the IGEL solution is its compatibility with cloud-based applications. As Park Holidays UK transitions to a Microsoft-based cloud environment, IGEL OS and hardware are optimized to support VDI and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) applications. This seamless compatibility streamlines operations and ensures a smooth transition for the organization.
Park Holidays UK has also experienced faster onboarding of newly acquired businesses, thanks to the combination of cloud-based applications, Citrix, and IGEL OS-powered endpoints. The management capabilities of IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) allow Park Holidays UK to efficiently migrate and integrate new sites in a matter of weeks, significantly reducing the time and effort required for the onboarding process.
Furthermore, IGEL provides Park Holidays UK with a high level of security by centralizing control and locking down endpoints. This eliminates the risk of viruses and unauthorized software installations. Additionally, IGEL’s streamlined management capabilities have reduced costs and simplified IT operations, requiring only a small team to manage the entire distributed environment.
By standardizing desktop applications and leveraging Citrix’s capabilities, Park Holidays UK has enabled its staff to seamlessly work across different locations, accessing corporate applications and files with ease. This flexibility greatly enhances the organization’s ability to manage resources effectively, especially during peak holiday seasons.
Looking ahead, Park Holidays UK plans to leverage IGEL’s native support for Microsoft Teams, enabling seamless video conferencing capabilities for its staff. The organization recognizes the value of IGEL’s technology in supporting its expansion plans and ensuring a cost-effective and efficient deployment process.
Simon Townsend, Chief Marketing Officer at IGEL, emphasizes the diverse nature of Park Holidays UK’s operations and praises the IGEL and Citrix solution for delivering significant cost savings, improved user experience, and simplified IT management.
