1.1.1 Overview of Features and Benefits

Centralized Application and Desktop Delivery

Thinfinity® Workspace allows administrators to manage and deliver applications and desktops from a single, centralized location. This simplifies the process of provisioning, updating, and securing resources, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring consistency across the organization.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Built with security in mind, Thinfinity Workspace provides secure access to applications, desktops, and web resources through robust and secure network architecture while following the Principle of Least Access Privilege (PoLP). This ensures that all data transmitted between the client device and the server is protected from eavesdropping and tampering, and data can be accessed only by those strictly authorized. Furthermore, the platform supports a variety of authentication schemes, such as Windows AD, OAuth/2, SAML, RADIUS, and Passkeys including multi-factor authentication (MFA), thus adding an extra layer of security to the login process and safeguarding against unauthorized access.

Natively Browser-Based, no Client-Side Installation Required

One of the key advantages of Thinfinity Workspace is its ability to deliver applications and desktops directly to a web browser. This eliminates the need for users to install any client-side software on their devices, simplifying the access process and enabling access from a wider range of devices, including for users with limited administrative privileges.

At the same time, this significantly reduces the burden on IT departments, as there is no need to manage and maintain client-side software on numerous devices. It also simplifies the user experience, as users can access resources with just a web browser.

Still, for those who prefer it, Thinfinity Workspace also provides a client-side application that can be installed on the end-user machine offering a familiar desktop user experience.

Distributed Architecture and Modular approach for High Availability and Load Balancing

Thinfinity Workspace is designed for high availability and scalability: each independent, interchangeable component or module focuses on a specific function and is designed to perform specific tasks. Instead of relying on a single central server, the solution supports multiple Gateways and Brokers, enabling administrators to distribute the workload across multiple servers and ensure that the platform remains accessible even in the event of a server failure. Plus, load balancing mechanisms further optimize performance by directing traffic to the least-loaded servers.

Windows Active Directory Integration

Thinfinity Workspace seamlessly integrates with Windows Active Directory, the dominant standard for user account and permission management on Windows networks.

Remote Resource Booking and Remote Privilege Access Management (RPAM)

Thinfinity Workspace extends beyond simple access and allows for resources to be reserved for access at a specific time. Remote Privilege Access Management (RPAM) adds an approval workflow and therefore an extra layer of security on top of Role Based Access Control (RBAC). RPAM secures privileged access to critical systems, ensuring that users can only access the specific resources they need for the precise time they need them.

Managed Cloud Instances and VDI environments (Cloud Manager)

Cloud Manager— included as part of Thinfinity Workspace— allows administrators to access, create and manage Virtual Machines (VMs) by hosting desktop environments on a centralized server. Cloud Manager supports provisioning, scaling, starting, stopping, and deallocating VMs hosted on renowned cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, GCP, IONOS, Oracle Cloud, Proxmox, VMware, and HyperV, all accessible via the Thinfinity portal. Also, Cloud Manager allows users to access their desktops on any device, regardless of the geographic location.

Application Virtualization with Thinfinity VirtualUI

Thinfinity® VirtualUI, a Thinfinity Workspace component which is a development platform designed to enable the transformation of Windows desktop applications into web-based solutions with minimal code changes. At the core of this technology is a Cybele Software proprietary DLL that developers can integrate directly into an application.
