Features
The Truth about BYOD (you need Windows)
For most users smartphones and tablets (iPad etc.) are used as companion devices, not a as primary work device. This is due to the fact that for real work you need to use a computer with a keyboard and mouse and in 90% of cases you also need Windows. Most corporate applications are Windows based and, although many new apps that enterprises are choosing today are non-Windows based, we are going to be dealing with those pre-existing Windows apps for years to come.Even using a Mac for work where equivalent software is used, as in Microsoft Office for Windows and Microsoft Office for Mac, the functionality may not be fully compatible across the two systems.

Use Your Virtual PC While it is Still Downloading

Overcoming the challenges of distributing large virtual hard disk images, with 1Es FastBoot OS Streaming (patent pending) users can start using their Virtual PC even while it is still downloading. As soon as the image starts to download the Virtual PC begins to boot and can be ready to use after only 300-400 MB has been transferred - usually in just a few minutes. And, unlike VDI, the Virtual PC can be used fully offline after a short period.

Integrate With Your Existing Systems Management Infrastructure

Designed to fit as closely as possible with a Microsoft System Center administrators normal activities, 1E Workspace does not require huge investments in a new infrastructure and allows Virtual PCs to be managed in the same way as physical PCs. Self-service web-based deployment enables users to get their corporate PC wherever they are, at any time.

Avoid Additional Software Licensing Costs

The single image approach used to reduce the implementation cost of VDI can often provide users with applications they neither need or use. These applications however, still require licensing and, when combined with the cost of Microsoft Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licensing, this can create a large, often hidden, cost for VDI implementations. 1E Workspace (along with 1Es Shopping and AppClarity) enables you to optimize your software license costs and rationalize applications if they are not used.

Enjoy Complete Security for Corporate Information

Many organizations resist the adoption of BYOPC due concerns with security and compliance. With 1E Workspace, the Virtual PC is fully encrypted when not in use (using AES-256). As the Virtual PC is completely isolated from the underlying host machine, it can be killed with remote lock and wipe (over the internet) without affecting users personal data.In addition, the ability to implement standard corporate security tools and policies makes the use of BYOPC possible for organizations that would otherwise be unable to benefit from it.

A Secure and Manageable BYOPC Approach

By mitigating the problems with BYOPC relating to security and compliance, software licensing and separating business data from personal information and applications, organization can benefit BYOPC where they would previously have been prevented.

Utilize the Power of the Device

Client Hypervisor technology allows users to take full advantage of the cheaper and high performing local computing power, storage and multimedia capabilities of their own device. This contrasts with VDI which can place a heavy burden on already overstretched Data Centers and networks as well as delivering a less than optimal end-user experience.

Reduced Support Costs

Service desk managers find that fewer support calls are raised for user-owned devices and that users are less likely to lose or damage a device that they personally own.

Meet the demand for Apple Macs in your Business

Many employees (as well as executives) would prefer to use an Apple Mac for work. However many organizations are deterred by concerns over compatability, security and support. With 1E Workspace you can meet this business demand by allowing your users to run a secure, managed Windows desktop on a Mac.
