Amazon WorkSpaces Core

Section titled “Concept”Amazon WorkSpaces Core is the base infrastructure for virtual desktops, on which other companies’ VDI software (such as Citrix) runs. VDI means Virtual Desktop Infrastructure — a setup where desktops run on servers and are used from a distance. WorkSpaces Core provides the APIs and AWS infrastructure, but the desktop management comes from the partner’s software. So a company does not have to change the VDI tools and ways of working it already knows. The employees’ experience stays the same as before; only the infrastructure behind it runs on AWS.
