Endpoint Downtime
When Windows endpoints are compromised, users lose access for days; productivity halts, tickets explode, and BC plans stall at the endpoint.
+ IGEL BC&DR restores secure access in minutes via Dual Boot or USB Boot.

Elevator Pitch
When cyberattacks or system failures hit, IGEL BC&DR lets businesses reboot endpoints into a secure, immutable IGEL environment within minutes - bypassing compromised Windows partitions and restoring access to critical SaaS, VDI, and collaboration tools. It is the fastest way to turn disruption into continuity.
Talk Track Lens
How to pitch it as a reseller:
"We give your users a clean, centrally managed IGEL workspace they can reboot into in minutes - no reimaging, no panic rebuilds, and no fresh hardware spend."
Customer Pain Points - IGEL Responses
Pain
Ransomware Re-infection Risk
Traditional reimaging can drag hidden threats forward into the rebuilt device and reintroduce malware into the environment.
+ Immutable IGEL OS is read-only, preventing malware persistence or re-entry.
Pain
Compliance Pressures (NIS2, DORA, HIPAA)
Regulators expect 48-72-hour recovery across critical services. Endpoint outages can be the hidden weak link in that RTO.
+ IGEL BC&DR is designed to meet recovery objectives at the endpoint layer.
Pain
Costly Hardware Replacement
Rip-and-replace or mass rebuild projects consume budget, logistics, and time - and still don't guarantee clean recovery.
+ Reboot into IGEL OS on existing hardware or USB; no device replacement required.
Pain
Forensic Disruption
Traditional cleanup often wipes the compromised Windows environment, deleting the evidence security teams need to understand root cause.
+ Windows partitions stay intact for post-incident analysis while users continue in the clean IGEL environment.
Core Features - What You're Really Selling
Dual Boot
IGEL BC&DR installs alongside Windows. If Windows is compromised, users reboot into a clean, policy-controlled IGEL OS.
USB Boot
For devices that can't run dual-boot, USB Boot provides portable, secure IGEL recovery without touching the disk.
Immutable OS
Read-only design means endpoints can't be permanently altered by malware. On reboot, they return to a known-good state.
Universal Management Suite (UMS)
Centrally manage policies, configurations, and updates for every IGEL recovery endpoint, on-prem or in the cloud.
Cloud or On-Prem Management
Meet customer architecture and regulatory requirements with flexible deployment models.
Specialist Recovery Services
IGEL experts help design, test, and simulate BC&DR scenarios so customers know recovery will work when it counts.

Value Proposition - Why Customers Buy
Instant Continuity
Reboot into IGEL's secure environment in minutes rather than waiting days for rebuilds.
Immutable Security
Read-only OS design eliminates malware persistence and reduces re-infection risk.
Cost Efficiency
Reuse existing hardware and endpoints instead of triggering emergency replacement programs.
Forensic Integrity
Preserve compromised Windows partitions for investigation while users continue working safely.
Regulatory Confidence
Built to align with RTO expectations under NIS2, DORA, and HIPAA by extending BC&DR to the endpoint.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Preventative Security Model
Continuity begins before recovery. Immutable endpoints reduce the likelihood and blast radius of successful attacks.
Dual Boot + USB Options
Two paths to instant recovery for almost any endpoint footprint or usage scenario.
Centralized Recovery Control
UMS provides one console for policies, updates, and recovery reporting.
Specialist BC&DR Services
Guided setup, testing, and simulation to prove endpoint continuity before an incident hits.
