Learning the Basics of VMware Horizon 7.12 – Part 4 – ControlUp and IGEL Overview

[Updated 19-Sep-2021]

I use ControlUp for monitoring what goes on in the lab, and I use two IGEL devices to test accessing published resources. I am part of the ControlUPExpert Program, which gives me an unlimited license for lab use. After a lot of begging, IGEL sent me a UD7 for my lab; you can also request a free UD Pocket when you request a hardware trial. You might be able to pick up a free UD Pocket at a community event that IGEL sponsors or at a major vendor conference (if held in-person again).
