AWS Workspaces are probably the best executed solution I've seen. Perfectly acceptable for office work, and I've heard the new sized instances are ok for cad/ graphics work.
It's not cheap, but it is convenient.
The connection uses PCoIP, which may have something to do with the user experience, and of course AWS can handle the peak loads
- bradknowles 5y agoOh, god. I hate, loathe, and despise Workspaces. If I have to have a virtual Windows desktop class machine, just give me a real ec2 instance with at least 16GB of RAM, 8+ virtual CPUs, and provisioned IOPS EBS for storage. And let me keep it shut down as much as possible. Although if you're giving me a machine of that level of performance, how about putting a Linux AMI on there instead?
- gidorah 5y agoI put AWS Workspaces in place at a prior org for 8 users. It was expensive, but convenient. Though it did feel peverse that most work was done in webapps. Chromebooks probably would have been better!
