FAQ

Yes. We help you assess your applications, design the AWS environment, pilot the approach and migrate users in phases. You can join at the stage that fits your project.

Our homepage describes a 60-day proof of concept with up to five WorkSpaces and five of your business applications, co-funded by AWS and Nuvens. Contact us to confirm the scope and eligibility for your project.

AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and Proof of Concept funding may support eligible projects. Funding is subject to minimum spend, AWS acceptance and programme terms, which may change at any time. We can discuss the options with you.

We design around your existing identity and security requirements, including Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID, multi-factor authentication, and your endpoint and network security tools. The approach is agreed during design.

We define desktop images around user personas and account for application packaging and delivery. Microsoft Intune can be part of the approach, depending on your environment and applications.

Yes. Multi-Region Resilience can provide a standby WorkSpace in a second AWS region. We assess your availability requirements and include the appropriate resilience design.

Your team can take over, Nuvens can run the platform as a managed service, or we can share the work. WorkSpaces Manager supports provisioning, monitoring, right-sizing and retirement from one console.

WorkSpaces Manager brings provisioning, usage and performance monitoring, right-sizing and retirement into one management platform. Your service desk can manage the desktop lifecycle without AWS console access or scripting. Nuvens can support your team, run the platform as a managed service, or share the work. Explore Amazon WorkSpaces management with Nuvens.

Start by reviewing actual usage and finding desktops that are unused, over-sized or on a billing mode that does not suit their users. For WorkSpaces Personal, compare monthly AlwaysOn with hourly AutoStop, right-size compute to the workload and retire desktops that are no longer needed after checking data retention requirements. Savings depend on your fleet, usage, AWS region and licensing; assess user performance and availability before making changes.

WorkSpaces Manager helps you monitor usage, right-size desktops and manage unused WorkSpaces. See how we manage and optimise WorkSpaces, or discuss your Amazon WorkSpaces costs with Nuvens.

It depends on how often the desktop is used. AlwaysOn has a fixed monthly charge and suits full-time users who need an immediately available desktop. AutoStop has hourly usage charges plus fixed infrastructure costs and can suit part-time use. Compare your actual usage with current AWS pricing for the region, bundle and licensing you use; there is no single break-even point for every WorkSpace. AutoStop stops a desktop after disconnection and its configured timeout, not simply because the user is inactive.

Read the AWS guidance on WorkSpaces Personal running modes.

The right option depends on whether people need their own persistent desktop or access to applications, together with operating system, workload, isolation and management requirements. Use our Which WorkSpace questionnaire to compare options and preview a recommendation you can save as a PDF.
