With workplace mobility on the rise, employees, contractors, and business partners require access from any device at any time and any place. This presents IT with a number of challenges, including securing information on end-user devices, managing access to corporate information, and quickly adapting to changes in the workforce. In this webinar, Mark Bowker, Senior Analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group, will explain how Desktops-as-a-Service (DaaS) can help address these challenges, and what the options are for your organization. We'll follow with an overview of Amazon WorkSpaces, a DaaS service from AWS, and close with how you can start using the service in your organization. Learning Objectives: • Understand how Amazon WorkSpaces can help you support an agile workforce and secure sensitive information on end user devices.

The Upside (and Downside) of VDI
Complex infrastructure that is difficult for IT to plan, configure, manage, and maintain.
Unfavorable economics that tip the ROI equation in the wrong direction with unutilized
capacity, heavily weighted upfront invest costs, and cumbersome IT operations.
Unpredictable global access based on the proximity of users due to low network
bandwidth and unacceptable latency.
Time-consuming implementations that involve multiple IT disciplines and months of
planning, testing, and staging of infrastructure.
Difficult root cause analysis and troubleshooting among multiple IT teams (e.g., server, storage,
networking, endpoint, and security) leading to prolonged troubleshooting and unproductive users.

Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) is a viable alternative to VDI:
Employee, business and IT benefits
DaaS gives end-users the flexibility to work from anywhere, anytime, and on any device without the cost and
complexity of traditional VDI infrastructure.
Workers are no longer tethered to traditional desktops or laptops; remote and seasonal employees, and contractors are
able to access the necessary applications and services they need to perform their job functions.
Employees can avoid navigating through cumbersome VPN connections that impair access and lengthen login times.
Collaboration and communication are simplified with virtual workspaces as employees have access to the tools
and resources they need to work together and interact in a productive team setting.
Younger end-users entering the workforce are able to communicate in ways that mimic their personal communication
experiences, enabling greater productivity and providing an enhanced user experience on the devices they are already
comfortable using.

Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) is a viable alternative to VDI:
Employee, business and IT benefits
DaaS offers organizations the agility to quickly adapt to new business opportunities, with favorable economics.
Organizations are able to rapidly scale up or down depending on specific requirements, new employees, mergers and
acquisitions, and global growth.
IT can more easily integrate, consolidate, and deliver services and applications when and where they are needed, in a
predictable and orderly fashion and without having to directly touch every endpoint.
Businesses are able to reduce capital expenditures, as well as operational costs, while at the same time
streamlining IT maintenance and infrastructure management.

Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) is a viable alternative to VDI:
Employee, business and IT benefits
With data breaches occurring more often than ever before, security is top of mind for nearly every IT initiative. The
BYOD trend is feeding the proliferation of non-corporate devices used in the workplace—presenting an increased
attack surface for potential security breaches. DaaS
Helps organizations meet security policy requirements and compliance standards by using protocols
to compress, encrypt, and encode data so that only images are transmitted and data no longer
resides on local devices.
Enables the creation of developer-style environments, granting developers quick and secure access to
end-user environments for seamless development and testing, without impeding user productivity.

Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) is a viable alternative to VDI:
Employee, business and IT benefits
Allows developers to move fast and fail fast with access to desktop resources when they need them
Keeps business data secure, centrally managed, and accessible to users.
Places a productive workspace in the hands of end-users near instantaneously, while supporting secure
access from multiple device types.
