“Our organization represents a new era in plug-and-play business IT where ease of operation and an unmatched customer experience scales without limits.”ĬloudJumper originates from the personnel and resources from cloud hosting services pioneer nGenx – a spinoff of telecommunications provider, Q-Comm Corp. “Managed services have evolved to the point where providers no longer have to deal with the assembly of complex solutions, unwieldy configurations, or a combination where difficulties in management are par for the course,” said JD Helms, president, CloudJumper. NWorkSpace is a fully packaged WaaS platform, including software, infrastructure, services, and support designed for a “highly automated, yet customized user experience.” The channel-centric solution enables the strategic service providers (SSPs) interested in delivering cloud-based desktop and application delivery services to benefit from the easy and cost-efficient nWorkSpace platform.ĬloudJumper’s nWorkSpace WaaS platform is a channel-centric solution that would offer partners and customers a choice of licensing models for greater flexibility and lower costs, including named user and concurrent user licensing options. CloudJumper, a Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform provider, has launched its new cloud hosted workspace offering, CloudJumper nWorkSpace, and a “flexible” WaaS licensing model. Michael Vizard has been covering IT issues in the enterprise for more than 25 years as an editor and columnist for publications such as InfoWorld, eWEEK, Baseline, CRN, ComputerWorld and Digital Review. WaaS also enables MSPs to embed themselves much deeper in the workflow of their customers than any desktop virtualization service ever could. However, in the meantime, the rise of WaaS should give MSPs another offering to add to their lineups that they can sell at a higher margin. Of course, down the road it’s possible that both Microsoft and Google will have ambitions in the WaaS space as well. Helms said MSPs would be well-advised to take a hard look at the underlying data center environment being used to deliver a service-to make sure it’s not just two guys with a server in a closet somewhere that can only support a limited number of concurrent users. There are already a number of WaaS alternatives. WaaS enables them to offer a platform experience encompassing multiple applications generate higher margins. With more organizations migrating to cloud applications, such as Microsoft Office 365, the margins they make reselling a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application are razor -thin. But for MSPs, that rise of WaaS comes at an interesting time. The number of organizations that might embrace WaaS is unknown. A big reason for that is that end customers in want something that provides them a better user experience than they themselves could offer using an internal IT staff to manage their existing desktops. While desktop and application virtualization held a lot of promise, cost complexity challenges have resulted in minimal adoption of both forms of virtualization inside and outside the cloud.
The existence of RDP makes it much simpler to create a WaaS offering that is much less complex to deliver than it would be using rival technologies from either Citrix or VMware, Helms added. With the launch of nWorkspace, CloudJumper is now looking for managed service providers to either resell or white-label a WaaS environment built on top of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) technology developed by Microsoft, said CloudJumper President John Helms. The latest one of these offerings comes this week from CloudJumper, a spin-off of nGenx that provides both telecommunications and cloud services. Instead of thinking in terms managing desktops, these cloud services provide a more comprehensive offering that combines both the desktop and the applications that an organization might want to use. In the last several months, a new class of cloud services known as workspace as a service (WaaS) has started to pick up momentum.
