Public Cloud – Flexible Engine
Workspace – a virtual desktop product that consists of CPUs, memory, disks and Windows operating systems (OSs) and can be subscribed to on demand and used any time anywhere
Configure cloud-based desktops with ease and access documents and applications from any device, including Windows and MAC computers, thin clients (TCs), iPads, iPhones and Android smart phones and tablets
Service End of Life – new solution
Our Workspace service has won over many of our users. In order to cover more use cases we have decided to overhaul the core technology behind our Workspace service with a specialised solution provided by oneclick™ that will be integrated into Flexible Engine. The current version of our Workspace service will be closed June 30th 2022. Our new oneclick™ service will be available from January 15th 2022, with guidance and support for the simplest possible migration.
For more information about the migration refer to the release notes.

Service
After enabling the current Workspace service, users can subscribe to Workspace instances (CPUs, memory, user disks, and OSs) as required. The system creates Workspace instances and notifies the Workspace end users.
The Workspace service meets typical office requirements and provides Workspace instances with graphics processing unit (GPU) capabilities that can cope with demanding graphical requirements.
Workspace instances, which are ready to use out of the box, can be flexibly provisioned and deleted through a web-based management console.
Rapid deployment
Deploying a conventional virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) takes several weeks or even more. A Workspace instance can be deployed rapidly and be ready to use out of the box.
Simple management
Users can manage hundreds of Workspace instances using the web console.
Diverse resource specifications
Users can select desired package specifications (CPUs, memory, disks, and GPU) from a wide array of Workspace package specifications to meet onsite service requirements.
Benefits
Secure
Data is not stored on devices and only the virtual desktop screen is displayed on the local device. Workspace utilizes resource isolation, network isolation, and security group rules to provide a secure environment.
Optimal experience
High quality display ensures optimal experience even in High Definition (HD) graphics scenarios.
Flexible
Resources can be provisioned in minutes. Mobile office featuring 4A (Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere, Anydevice) and powerful software and peripheral compatibilities bring you a convenient and flexible office experience.
Scenarios
Application Scenario | Characteristics | Applicable Customer Group |
---|---|---|
Mobile access | Employees without fixed workstations can log in to their desktops using mobile devices (such as iPads or Android tablets) to access enterprise application systems. | Employees who travel frequently Employees who work in different locations |
Short-term use | Desktops and required application systems can be configured for short-term employees in an enterprise. The desktops can be terminated after the short-term employees leave. Desktops can be easily configured for trainees in training institutions or academic environments so that the trainees can access required resources. The desktops can be removed after the courses end or at the end of the semester. | Contract staff and short-term employees Trainees and learners |
Secure Office Automation (OA) | Managed desktops that meet compliance requirements can be provided to employees. The access to physical peripherals can be controlled. Data is not stored locally to improve the data security of the enterprise. Desktops are configured for developers, and tools are installed for application developments. The application source code is not stored on the developer’s device, protecting enterprise intellectual properties. | Enterprise employees Development and test employees |
Branch office | Employees at branch offices or remote workers can access desktops. The necessary permissions can be assigned to access applications. Data is not stored locally. | Remote employees Branch office employees |
HD graphics | A 3D graphics processing capability provided to end users by the desktop cloud solution. This feature supports various HD graphics applications, including Computer Aided Design (CAD), Geographic Information System (GIS), 3D game software, and multi-media video editing software. It meets the HD graphics processing requirements from different industries, such as engineering, manufacturing, oil, automobile, healthcare, game, and media. | 3D graphics users |
