One way of virtualizing your office that is becoming more popular every year is virtualizing the desktop machines in your office by using Amazon Workspaces. Why is this so popular? To help answer that question, we will highlight some of the essential benefits of using this service.
Improves Security
It’s no secret that cybercrime has become a severe issue for businesses of all sizes. When you virtualize your office and use Amazon Workspaces, your data is stored on a secure server. The data stored on the server is secured by being compressed, encrypted, and then finally encoded. If you are still relying on desktop machines to access and store data for your business, your company is at risk of that data being stolen or even corrupted.
Cost-Efficiency and Scalable on Demand
When you are ready to scale up or scale down your AWS setup, you can do this easily without any hassle. With Amazon Workspaces, you pay for what you use. There are no overprovisioning or upfront costs, just a simple fixed-rate pricing structure.
Amazon Workspaces Is User-Friendly and Easy to Use
There are several options out there now, but one of the reasons why so many businesses and organizations choose AWS for their virtual office needs is because it is user-friendly and easy to use. You can configure, deploy and integrate AWS without too many problems. It can take just under an hour to install and start using it.
The only issue is that if you are still using existing legacy services with data and applications that need to be properly configured and then migrated, this involves a bit more work and can take a bit longer. That can be remedied by hiring a team like our own here at EDG.Tech.
Managing and Deploying Applications Is Very Easy
While it may take a bit of time to initially set up your virtual office, deploy applications, and migrate data, once the first steps are out of the way, everything is simple. AWS offers a very easy, fast, and incredibly secure way to package and deploy those critical updates to your organization’s desktop applications.
You are not placing too much pressure on precious computing resources to deploy them, and with cloud computing, you have access to the potential of unlimited scalability. You don’t need to update all desktop machines individually, so you save a lot of time and energy for your IT department.
You Can Choose the AWS Bundles of Hardware and Software You Need
Rather than providing you with hardware and software, you will never use, you can choose from a selection of bundle packages for AWS based on the storage, memory, and computer power requirements your company needs to stay operating at the same capacity or better than it has with legacy desktop machines.
