ControlUp has introduced support for Amazon WorkSpaces through its ControlUp for Desktops solution. This upgrade equips IT teams with advanced tools to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize AWS cloud-based virtual desktops—boosting performance, lowering support demands, and improving employee productivity.
Amazon WorkSpaces offers secure, scalable virtual desktops through a shared responsibility model, which ensures AWS manages the cloud infrastructure while customers retain responsibility for managing the performance, security, and usability of their Amazon WorkSpaces environments. ControlUp bridges this gap with purpose-built telemetry and real-time insights that allow IT teams to fulfill their responsibilities with confidence and precision.
“With AWS providing the infrastructure and customers responsible for what happens inside the desktop, visibility is essential,” said Simon Townsend, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Office of the CTO, ControlUp. “ControlUp empowers organizations to meet that responsibility with comprehensive, real-time insights across every layer of their Amazon WorkSpaces experience, so they can proactively resolve issues and keep employees productive from anywhere.”
ControlUp collects real-time data from Amazon WorkSpaces desktops and the endpoints connecting to them. By capturing performance metrics such as CPU, memory, session latency, and application behavior (alongside endpoint telemetry like Wi-Fi signal strength, CPU usage, and background processes), ControlUp gives IT teams full visibility into employees’ actual digital experience.
ControlUp for Desktops reduces IT support costs and improves the experience of physical desktops by identifying, resolving, and preventing problems. Delivering insights into device health and network behavior, ControlUp for Desktops empowers IT with proactive notifications, remediation actions, and remote assistance for a more productive and pleasing digital employee experience.
