Amazon WorkSpaces

Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed, secure cloud desktop service that enables organizations to provision virtual desktops for their users. These desktops can run on various operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Amazon Linux 2, Ubuntu Linux, Rocky Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. By leveraging Amazon WorkSpaces, businesses can eliminate the need to procure and deploy hardware or install complex software, allowing for quick scalability to add or remove users as needed.

Pros

    Shells.com

    Shells.com offers a virtual cloud computer that can be accessed from any web-enabled device. As we offer multiple Linux distributions or Windows preloaded on the virtual desktop, it gives the user the opportunity to use the operating system that they want on the device that they want. This is great for new users who would like to give Linux a test run without having to install on their hardware or for developers who would like to test and deploy all on one device. Schools and businesses can rapidly deploy computers and phones to those who need them at a low-cost.
