  • How it works
  • Nuvens's WSM engagement is aimed at existing Amazon WorkSpaces customers looking to optimize and automate their Amazon WorkSpaces implementation. WSM is ideal for customers looking to reduce the day-to-day management of their Amazon WorkSpaces estate, while ensuring the investment is cost optimized. As part of the consulting offer, Nuvens will look at all areas of the existing implementation, working with the customer to understand their current pain points and address these through automation of the administration, integration into existing support mechanisms, and right-sizing the Amazon WorkSpaces estate to ensure cost efficiency.

    During the first workshop, Nuvens will look to understand where the customer is in their Amazon WorkSpaces journey. Whether they are looking to optimize their existing estate, or to develop the building blocks to expand this further in the future, Nuvens will look to educate the customer as to what can be achieved with the solution including simplifying management, empowering users with self-service, and automating workflow processes.

    Nuvens will deploy WSM within the customer's environment. WSM gathers over 200 data points about the existing Amazon WorkSpaces estate and provides instant cost-saving recommendations. WSM also provides the foundations for reducing administration time for managing Amazon WorkSpaces and the integration into a customer's existing services management tools. During this phase, Nuvens will demonstrate how to use WSM to simplify the deployment of Amazon WorkSpaces by adding users to AD groups. Nuvens will demonstrate how to secure the footprint further through granular security roles provided by WSM and by setting up administration tasks to automatically reboot unhealthy WorkSpaces, delete unused WorkSpaces, and reboot at a convenient time to ensure patching and maintenance occurs.

    Once the customer has test-driven WSM for 30 days, if there is any additional functionality the customer would like to see in the solution, Nuvens will work with them to meet these needs.
