WorkSpaces Manager

WSM v6 Features

Created in 2018, WorkSpaces Manager was developed to offer a straightforward dashboard, enabling clear visibility of your WorkSpaces environment concerning usage and costs.. Through collaborating with our clients, the product has developed to offer all the necessary functionality for a WorkSpaces administrator, while automating the daily tasks involved in managing a WorkSpaces environment at scale. With over 100 new feature requests implemented over the past four years, WorkSpaces Manager continues to adapt, ensuring clients receive maximum value as the Amazon WorkSpaces platform evolves.

Listed below are just some of the “out of the box” benefits available to our clients who use WorkSpaces Manager for Amazon WorkSpaces. If you require any additional features or customisation, our reactive development team are always happy to discuss this with you, please contact us on the form below.

Optimisation

Proactive Rightsize

WSM monitors the user’s CPU, memory and usage of the WorkSpace to provide administrators the option of optimising their WorkSpace. This could mean upgrading a WorkSpace if it is being overworked, or downgrading if its tasks do not require a WorkSpace of that size. This process can also be automated without an administrator’s intervention.

Unused Workspaces

Quickly find WorkSpaces that haven’t been used for a period of time. This process can be automated to either downgrade the WorkSpace to the lowest specification, or complete termination after a set period of time. 

Always Optimised

WSM will change the pricing plan based on the user’s hourly usage of that month to either Always–On or Hourly. 

Orphaned Workspaces

Find WorkSpaces with no Active Directory user attached.

Cost History

Auto Delete

Create rules for the deletion of a WorkSpace. This could be for unused WorkSpaces after a defined number of days, or a fixed time period for users such as contractors.
