Have More Questions?

What makes Workspot’s approach to security more effective than traditional VDI solutions?
Workspot elevates security beyond traditional VDI solutions by leveraging the inherent security features of cloud platforms, combined with its own robust security protocols. This includes advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, separation of authentication and data flows, and comprehensive network security measures. Workspot’s architecture is designed to isolate and protect data and applications, even in a shared cloud environment, ensuring that users can access their work securely from any device.
How does Workspot uniquely optimize for latency and performance?
Unlike competitors that aggregate remoting protocol traffic of multiple customers into shared clusters of connection points of presence (PoPs), Workspot deploys connection brokers for each customer local to the VDIs. Workspot’s recommended platform architecture is to deploy VDIs as close to the end-users as possible to reduce latency from user to VDI which improves user experience, and benefit from corporate network or cloud back-bone to access corporate apps and data that may be hosted elsewhere.
What remoting protocol does Workspot use and are there considerations?
Workspot utilizes RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) for its remoting capabilities, leveraging the extensive support and optimization that RDP provides for remote desktop services. This choice drives compatibility and performance across a wide range of devices and network capabilities. Workspot enhances the standard RDP experience with additional optimizations and security features to ensure a seamless, efficient, and secure remote work environment. While RDP is a highly capable protocol, it is not as adaptive to extreme network conditions as other platforms such as Citrix’s ICA/HDX stack. Users of Workspot will achieve optimal performance on last mile network connections that are not prone to degradation and volatility.
Does Workspot require Active Directory, or can it be used with non-domain-joined VDIs?
Workspot is designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate various IT environments. While it seamlessly integrates with Active Directory (AD) to leverage existing user management and authentication systems, Workspot can also support scenarios where domain-joined virtual desktops are not a requirement. This versatility ensures that businesses can deploy Workspot in a way that best fits their security policies and IT infrastructure needs, allowing for both AD-integrated and non-domain-joined VDI deployments.
What specific cost-saving benefits does Workspot offer over traditional VDI?
Workspot reduces costs in several key areas: it eliminates the need for significant upfront capital expenditure on data centre hardware, lowers operational costs by automating VDI management tasks, and optimizes spending with a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Workspot’s license minimums are also lower than mainstream competitors and at a much lower price point, lowering TCO of VDI environments. This approach allows businesses to scale their VDI solution in alignment with their actual needs, avoiding overprovisioning and minimizing wasted resources.
Why choose Workspot over Microsoft Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop?
Choosing Workspot over Microsoft Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop offers significant advantages, particularly in terms of integration flexibility, superior user experience, and reliability. Workspot’s platform excels in seamlessly integrating with a variety of cloud environments, offering businesses the freedom to select the optimal cloud solution beyond just Azure. Its advanced connection brokering architecture ensures a high-quality user experience with low-latency connections and high-performance computing resources, allowing users to work effectively from any location. Additionally, Workspot’s cloud-native design facilitates rapid scaling and deployment, while its commitment to security and a global reach supports comprehensive data protection and compliance. With a superior Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.99%, Workspot provides a level of reliability that surpasses Microsoft’s offerings, making it the preferred choice for organizations prioritizing flexibility, performance, and uptime.
What desktop provisioning models does Workspot support?
While Workspot emphasizes the benefits and simplicity of a persistent VDI model to reduce costs and IT complexity, Workspot supports non-persistent desktop provisioning. The ability to support both models provides customers choice and the ability to align the most appropriate model to their use case. Persistent VDIs can use a Windows local profile, while non-persistent desktops can use a Windows mandatory profile or an FSLogix containerized profile to allow profile roaming and persistence.
Can Workspot be deployed on-premises?
Workspot supports VMware vSphere and Nutanix Acropolis (AHV) hypervisors for on-prem deployments in addition to its support of Azure, AWS, and GCP. This provides customers choice and flexibility in their VDI deployments and the benefit of a centralized management plane through a single pane of glass.
