Virtual Workspace
Secure, managed virtual desktops that give employees access to business applications and data from wherever work happens.
Take the Office With You.
Remote and hybrid work have changed where employees need access to business systems. A virtual workspace gives users a consistent desktop experience without requiring the business to extend every application and dataset directly to every physical device.
USC can deliver secure virtual desktops from privately managed infrastructure, giving users access to the tools they need while keeping administration, performance, and security under centralized control.
Users should not have to think about where applications live. They should be able to sign in, get to work, and have the same resources available whether they are in the office, at home, or traveling.
One Workspace.
Many Locations.
Work From Anywhere Without Moving the Data Everywhere.
Keep business applications and information close to the hosted environment while allowing approved users to securely access the workspace from remote endpoints.
Secure Remote Access. Give authorized users access to the workspace without exposing internal systems directly to every device.
Centralized Control. Manage applications, access, and desktop resources from the hosted environment rather than relying on each endpoint.
Fast Onboarding. Provision new users and workspaces without waiting on full workstation deployment cycles.
Scalable Resources. Adjust computing resources as user and application requirements change.
More Control for IT. Less Friction for Users.
Use the Device. Access the Workspace.
A virtual desktop can reduce the dependency between business applications and a specific physical computer. Employees can use compatible desktops, laptops, or other approved devices while the working environment remains centrally managed.
This can also help extend the useful role of employee-owned or lower-powered endpoint devices when the heavier computing work is performed in the hosted environment.
Virtual desktops can be sized around the needs of different users—from standard office productivity to applications that require more memory, processing, or specialized configurations.
Performance Built Around the User.
Virtual Workspace Without the In-House VDI Burden.
USC manages the hosted environment so customers do not have to build, operate, and maintain the full virtual desktop stack internally.
Hosted desktop infrastructure maintained by USC rather than by the customer.
Support remote, hybrid, branch, and mobile work patterns from a consistent environment.
Centralize important applications and data within a controlled hosted architecture.
Provision, update, and retire virtual workspaces without rebuilding physical desktops one by one.
Virtual Workspace can be a strong fit for organizations supporting remote employees, contractors, distributed locations, legacy applications, secure application access, or users who need a consistent desktop across changing devices.
USC can help determine how much of the environment should be virtualized, what resources users need, and how access should be designed around the organization’s security and operating requirements.
Give Users Access Without Giving Up Control.
Common Virtual Workspace Questions
Answers for organizations evaluating virtual desktops, secure remote access, centralized management, and remote workforce infrastructure.
What is a virtual workspace?
A virtual workspace provides users with a managed desktop environment hosted away from the physical endpoint. Employees can access approved applications, files, and resources through a secure session while the underlying desktop environment remains centrally managed.
How is a virtual workspace different from a VPN?
A VPN primarily creates a secure connection into a network. A virtual workspace delivers an entire managed desktop environment so applications and data can remain in the hosted environment instead of being installed or stored on every remote device.
Can employees use personal computers or different devices?
Depending on the security design, users can often connect from approved personal or company-owned devices while the business desktop, applications, and data remain within the managed virtual environment.
Can virtual desktops support demanding business applications?
Yes. Virtual desktops can be sized around different user needs, including additional processing power, memory, storage, or specialized resources for applications that require more than standard office productivity.
