The new Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client aims to enhance end-user and IT productivity by offering secure and easy-to-manage access to virtual desktops. These pre-configured devices are shipped directly to users and are plug-and-play ready for deployment.
The Thin Client is a compact cube that connects to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals. Administrators can create different environments for users, granting access to Amazon WorkSpaces or Amazon AppStream 2.0 while managing user identities through Active Directory.
Cost, security, ease of management, and user-friendliness are key factors that make these devices appealing. The low-cost device simplifies centralized configuration and reduces maintenance tasks. With secure shipping and no local storage, the Thin Client minimizes data leakage risks.
For administrators, setting up environments and managing users is straightforward through the AWS Management Console. Users can easily connect the device, log in, and start working without needing to worry about updates or software installations.
Various use cases, such as call centers, temporary workspaces, disaster response scenarios, benefit from deploying these devices. The setup process involves ordering devices, creating environments, and activating users. Administrators can monitor device status and manage software updates through the Thin Client Console.
The Thin Client console is accessible in different regions, with device sales launching in the United States and other countries starting in early 2024. Pricing for devices ranges from $195 to $280, including an optional hub for a second monitor. A monthly fee is applicable for device management in addition to charges for the virtual desktop service.
