SmartWorkspaces for Windows Virtual Desktop

Only SMARTWORKSPACES integrates into your Azure with no need for extra services or external domains, giving you complete control and security.

SMARTWORKSPACES greatly simplifies Windows Virtual Desktop management and support with the automation of common processes that would otherwise require time-consuming manual intervention. With a single pane console for administration and support, SMARTWORKSPACES allows you to focus on delivering the best levels of service and the ultimate experience for your users.

Streamlined Support

Dedicated Level 1 and 2 Support Console - SMARTWORKSPACES facilitates support through a dedicated console for level 1 and level 2 support roles. Administrators can assign and delegate admin rights to the support team for these roles to perform their functions. And, through personalized custom scripts configured by admins, support actions can be automated and safely executed to resolve common issues. Extensive monitoring and reporting of user sessions and virtual machines ensures you know the health of your Windows Virtual Desktop environment. SMARTWORKSPACES enables proactive management of Windows Virtual Desktop through the ability to send alerts to any SNMP capable monitoring platform when defined resource thresholds are reached. This ensures potential problems are addressed before they impact user experience.

Automation of common support actions through custom PowerShell scripts
Delegated administration for Level 1 and 2 support with no required Azure permissions

Optimized User Profiles

Streamlined user profiles – A key benefit of Windows Virtual Desktop and Azure is that user profiles are independent of the virtual machine that serve the user’s desktop. The profile containers, handled by FSLogix technology, are stored separately from the desktop in virtual hard disks. Over time users’ profiles require optimization. Using FSLogix shrink and optimization, SMARTWORKSPACES allows you to schedule FSLogix User Profile shrink and optimization jobs for automatic execution. This ensures that storage does not grow unnecessarily, and profiles remain optimized.

Remote Assistance

User session shadowing - When users call for support, finding a solution to their problem can often be done most effectively with remote assistance. SMARTWORKSPACES delivers user shadowing with the ability to easily search for and identify users and to remotely shadow their session. With user permission, support staff can take control of a session to quickly resolve support issues.

Auditing and Reporting

Change auditing – By maintaining an up to date log of all changes and actions made in the console, including date, time, user and action specifics, SMARTWORKSPACES for Windows Virtual Desktop ensures complete transparency in your environment.

Connection history - SMARTWORKSPACES for Windows Virtual Desktop delivers extensive capabilities for auditing and reporting of historic connection data. Connection data such as the end point host, type of session, username, start date and time can be recorded and exported to CSV files for auditing and analysis.

Extending benefits of Microsoft Azure

Multitenant management platform – Windows Virtual Desktop in Microsoft Azure cloud, delivers the ability to host Windows Virtual Desktop environments within a single subscription or across multiple subscriptions. This affords organizations a high degree of flexibility to choose in-house management or managed service provision or perhaps a combination. SMARTWORKSPACES extends this flexibility with multitenant management and support, either within the same or different Azure subscriptions. Configure, manage, and support multiple Windows Virtual Desktop environments from a single management and control pane. Whether you are an organization or managed service provider SMARTWORKSPACES enables you to consolidate and align resources for efficient and cost-effective IT.
