WorkSpaces Personal
A persistent desktop for one person. Consider it when users need their installed software, files and desktop changes to remain available between sessions.
Choose your Amazon WorkSpaces option
Which Amazon WorkSpaces option is best for your business?
The best Amazon WorkSpaces option depends on what your users need: a personal desktop they can change and keep, a fresh desktop each session, or access to specific applications. Your operating system, workload, isolation and management requirements also affect the choice.
Applications: single-session
A fresh environment with one user per instance. Consider it when users need applications or a standard desktop, with an instance dedicated to their session.
Applications: multi-session
Several users share a Windows Server instance. Consider it for lighter workloads where sharing an operating system is acceptable.
Use the questionnaire above to compare these options for your business and save a recommendation as a PDF. To test the choice with your own users and applications, start an Amazon WorkSpaces proof of concept with Nuvens.
