Problem
Enterprises using traditional on‑prem VDI face high infrastructure costs, complex multi‑region deployments, and limited scalability, which hinder performance for distributed workforces and increase total cost of ownership.
Solution
Workspot offers a cloud‑native Desktop‑as‑a‑Service platform that lets organizations replace on‑prem VDI with virtual desktops hosted on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or Akamai. The service uses just‑in‑time and just‑enough provisioning to bill at approximately $0.20 per hour, dramatically lowering expenses. An embedded Enterprise Browser provides secure, zero‑infrastructure access to web applications such as Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive, eliminating the need for full desktop instances for web‑only workloads. Workspot Control delivers a unified multi‑cloud management console for rapid provisioning across one or many regions, while built‑in FinOps tools optimize resource usage. Real‑time observability (Workspot Watch) and historical analytics (Workspot Trends) give IT teams insight into performance and user experience, supporting proactive issue resolution and compliance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise IT departments and MSPs that need to modernize VDI, provide secure remote access to web and Windows applications, and control costs for globally distributed workforces.
