Conclusion

There is a strategic shift in end-user computing, as organizations strive to be more agile, better protect their data, and help their workers be more productive. Many of the benefits already realized with cloud computing also apply to end user computing. By moving their Windows or Linux desktops to the AWS Cloud with Amazon WorkSpaces, organizations can quickly scale as they add workers, improve their security posture by keeping data off devices, and offer their workers a portable desktop, with access from anywhere, using the device of their choice.

Amazon WorkSpaces is designed to be integrated into existing IT systems and processes, and this whitepaper described the best practices for doing this. The result of following the guidelines in this whitepaper is a cost-effective cloud desktop deployment that can securely scale with your business on the AWS global infrastructure.
