IndependenceIT today boosted cloud infrastructure options for enterprises and service providers with the integration of the company’s Cloud Workspace Suite® (CWS) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). As a result, the hypervisor / cloud platform agnostic CWS now operates seamlessly with AWS, simplifying the deployment of full-featured workspace-as-a-service environments by enterprises and service providers for anytime, anywhere application and desktop access.
The approaches taken by traditional virtual desktop vendors are notorious for their failure to simplify installation and management because of inherent operational complexity and infrastructure requirements. These solutions require individuals to physically assemble an array of complex elements, draining resources, time and customer patience. Cloud Workspace Suite ends this headache with a highly automated solution. The integration with Amazon Web Services allows for rapid deployment of complete corporate IT systems in addition to virtual desktops on the industry’s leading cloud infrastructure platform.
Cloud Workspace Suite is unique in its ability to rapidly provision all elements necessary for automated solution delivery. The platform is built for infrastructure and hypervisor independence for end-to-end utilization that does not yield to technology barriers. Instead, the solution interfaces with a variety of cloud infrastructure options that now include Amazon Web Services, Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure, and Artisan Infrastructure. CWS is the first workspace-as-a-service solution to provide a “Bring Your Own Cloud” capability that allows users to architect a solution matched to their business and optimized for simplicity.
"The virtual client computing market is going to grow from $2.8 billion in 2013 to $4.7 billion in 2018, but up-front costs and complexity will drive organizations to look for an outsourced delivery model, driving the hosted market to $1.7 billion by 2018," says Brett Waldman, research manager, Client Virtualization Software. "Despite many organizations looking to outsource virtual desktops today, the rise in mobility is actually transforming the demand as we speak, toward applications and data. It is this workspace that end users want to be able to access anywhere, anytime, anyplace — giving rise to what IDC defines as workspace as a service."
Complete cloud-based application and desktop-as-a-service enablement by IndependenceIT gives organizations unprecedented visibility and ease of operation using productivity tools that take the guesswork out of management. CWS provides an integrated online experience that opens access to business applications and corporate file systems using a full-featured Microsoft Windows desktop from anywhere and across any device. Organizations retain complete control, security and auditability for compliance through an intuitive browser-based management system that reduces support costs, increases service quality and improves responsiveness.
