IndependenceIT, an integrated Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) software
provider that simplifies and accelerates cloud workspace time to market
for IT departments and service providers, today announced availability
of a new report on IndependenceIT Cloud Workspace Suite version 4.2.
The complete 451 Research Impact Report titled, "
IndependenceIT deepens
manageability, customization with Cloud Workspace Suite 4.2," can be
accessed on the
IndependenceIT website.
IndependenceIT Cloud Workspace Suite software is an integrated workspace
automation platform that manages workspaces, applications, and desktops
as a service to users anywhere, anytime and on any device. The
company's software is deployed globally by IT service providers,
independent software vendors, and IT administrators to enable
workspace-as-a-service solutions. Cloud Workspace Suite allows its
customers to quickly and easily provision, manage and monitor complete
workspaces in public, private, or hybrid cloud environments.
According to the report, "Cloud Workspace Suite Version 4.2 focuses
on optimizing and enhancing existing features and functionality of
afore¬mentioned components. One of the key enhancements is to extend
management of cloud resources at the VM level, enabling customers
(service provider partners) to set consumption, scaling and automation
attributes based on individual user profiles in a multi-tenant, shared
infrastructure. Based on individual storage requirements, customers can
also create different classes of services, which are deemed valuable for
larger MSPs and enterprises as use cases begin to move further
upstream. Deploying public cloud services, Microsoft Azure and Google
Compute Engine, service provider customers are now able to provide
hourly pricing and service scheduling. Instead of having the cloud to
run 24/7, customers can flexibly reduce the runtime based on individual
end user requirements.
"As its name suggests, IndependenceIT has been able to maintain an
independent and neutral position when it comes to facilitating workflow
orchestration across multiple platforms and cloud environments. Its
latest software updates focus on deepening the manageability and
usability of its workspace management platform, which is important to
improve the stickiness of customers," said Agatha Poon, research
manager, global cloud computing, 451 Research. "The growing use of cloud
as a technology and a service delivery model will give workspace as a
service (WaaS) a new lease on life and open up a world of possibilities
for service providers to bring new services, tools, and custom
applications to the market."
Categorized as workspace-as-a-service (WaaS) enablement software, Cloud
Workspace Suite is commonly ranked as one of the leading (WaaS)
platforms. WaaS is the cloud hosted delivery of virtual client
computing technologies, mainly focused on delivering application
workloads through the cloud. According to analysts , the hosted WaaS
market will grow to $1.7 billion in 2018, representing a five-year CAGR
of 42.5%.
"Being an agnostic player works to the company's advantage in filling
service gaps while broaden¬ing its addressable market. Cloud Workspace
Suite is architected in a way that supports multiple stakeholders
involved in automated workspace provisioning and management," noted the
report. "Due to the managed hosting and IT heritage of its management
team, it comes as no surprise that IndependenceIT has had great success
in working with hosting providers large and small."
"The advantages of Cloud Workspace Suite are clear as the software gains
acceptance by IT Admins and service providers interested in
accelerating their WaaS deployments," said Seth Bostock, CEO,
IndependenceIT. "451 Research's validation adds to the body of evidence
produced by industry experts that cover this technology and the value it
delivers to customers."
