With WorkSpaces Applications, you can easily add your existing desktop applications to AWS and enable your users to stream them instantly. Windows users can use either the WorkSpaces Applications client or an HTML5-capable web browser for application streaming. You can maintain a single version of each of your applications, which makes application management easier. Your users always access the latest versions of their applications. Your applications run on AWS compute resources, and data is never stored on users' devices, which means they always get a high performance, secure experience.

Unlike traditional on-premises solutions for desktop application streaming, WorkSpaces Applications offers pay-as-you-go pricing, with no upfront investment and no infrastructure to maintain. You can scale instantly and globally, ensuring that your users always have an outstanding experience.
