Cloud Workspace
What is a cloud workspace?
A cloud workspace is a cloud-based digital desktop that assembles a team’s content and tools in a single, secure managed solution. Typically offered by an IT service provider on a subscription basis (per-seat, per-hour or -month), a smart cloud workspace solution can scale to accommodate thousands of workers globally, easily accessible anywhere, anytime, from any supported device.
What are the business benefits of a cloud workspace?
A smart cloud-based workspace can:
- Streamline tasks. You can eliminate multiple administrative functions associated with managing desktops, such as provisioning, deploying, maintaining and recycling.
- Minimize hardware. Smart cloud workspaces require less hardware (desktops, laptops, etc.) to manage, and there’s no need for complex virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments.
- Reduce costs. You can switch from a capital expense (capex) to an operating expense (opex) model, gaining on-demand access to cloud desktops with compute, memory and storage resources.
- Protect your information. Each user can access encrypted, persistent storage volumes in the cloud. No data is stored on users’ local devices.
- Scale up and down. You can quickly and easily provision and de-provision virtual desktops as your workforce and workflow needs change.
