School from Anywhere, Using any Device
The world is every changing and education is being affected greatly by pandemics, hurricanes, tornados, blizzards, earthquakes, forest fires, flooding, inclement weather, acts of terrorism and others. Educational IT Teams need to have the flexibility to adapt to these changes so students and faculty can continue with their learning no matter the change.
Educational institutions are adopting Digital Workspace Solutions that allows for seamless educational operations no matter what happens in the future for both on-campus and remote learning, while preventing any gaps in student’s education and avoiding financial implications for the school, college or university.
Digital Workspaces provides educational institutions a multitude of benefits including:
Continuous Secure Access for Students & Faculty to Virtual Workspace
Always Available Virtual Workspace Environment – Avoid Disruptions, Keeping the Educational Institution Always Open
Quickly Onboard New Students & Devices – Avoid Lengthy Onboarding using a Secure Browser for Immediate Access
Security Verification – Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for Identity and Access Management and Device Authorization
Advanced Security – Further protect the corporate network, systems and data without limiting access for Students
Centralized Storage of Data – Keep Assignments, Documents, Projects all centralized in the Virtual Workspace
Positive Student Experience – Provide a collaborative and organized experience from any device at any location
AmZetta Digital Workspace Solutions enable secure delivery of a virtual workspace where students and faculty can access their virtual desktops, apps and services no matter where they are located or what devices they use.
Educational institutions have experienced in-person on-campus bans by State and Local Governments during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This resulted in a lot of schools, colleges and universities scrambling for solutions that could enable them to transition from on-campus to remote learning. A lot of the solutions deployed are not student friendly, not centrally organized, very difficult to manage for both the faculty and IT departments and have received poor user feedback from parents.
But from the IT perspective, a lot of the solutions that were deployed quickly are full of security holes and cybersecurity is targeting educational institutions. Today, educational institutions are adopting a Digital Workspace Solution that allows for seamless operations no matter what happens in the future for both on-campus and remote learning, while preventing any gaps in student’s education and avoiding financial implications for the school, college or university.
AmZetta Digital Workspace Solutions enable secure delivery of a virtual workspace where students and faculty can access their virtual desktops, apps and services no matter where they are located or what devices they use.
AmZetta offers a comprehensive and intuitive virtual workspace for virtual students to access their assigned desktops and applications without jeopardizing security. With AmZetta’s multi-factor authentication solution, you can verify the user, the device, and the history of individuals accessing the network.
Let us dive further into some additional benefits of deploying the AmZetta Digital Workspace for Education:
1. Securing Communication and Collaboration
Collaboration and communication are a keystone for bringing students and faculty together for a singular vision. But with so many moving parts – be it departments, offices, or teams – educators must ensure transparency between all levels of infrastructure. By offering students integrated and seamless utilities for ease of communication, you create the opportunity for collaboration within your organization, ensuring an unobstructed flow for the exchange of ideas and tasks to be completed.
Virtualization goes beyond machines, applications, and servers; it goes for students as well. We are not strictly speaking artificial intelligence, but the elimination of in-person collaboration. No longer do we need to rely on scheduling and travelling for classes or meetings when we can attend from the comfort of our own home. By cutting out the time allocated to transit, we free ourselves up to study and pursue more opportunities to learn!
2. Ensuring Student Assessments
Online testing has become commonplace. Exams can be delivered to a student’s terminal regardless of location. However, there are security risks for remote students that need to be addressed. There must be a secure connection and proper authentication for the end point device before an assessment is delivered or accessed by the student. Having a student simply access through means of a username and password is not enough; you must also be able to audit and log the connection. The AmZetta Digital Workspace solution offers all the benefits of productivity, manageability, and utility under a single umbrella of security. Integrating directly into your existing infrastructure, a digital workspace solution enhances your existing level of security and couples it with its own intrinsic perks such as containerization. As a result, you can gain all the security features within your corporate network and pass them to any of your users you wish for remote access without jeopardizing sensitive data.
3. Secure Sensitive Data
Remote students have the power to do anything from their endpoint devices; Copy/Paste data, take screenshots, and perform screen recordings. Without the proper controls, a student might unintentionally expose their most valuable data. However, with a digital workspace, you can mitigate these problems by enforcing the connection with increased policy protection, thereby disabling a user from utilizing those common functions and watermark all accessed files.
4. Maintaining Regulatory Compliance
Schools and university resources need to be tracked and audited; users (both student and staff), locations, and times are all important to maintaining a detailed report. Moreover, there must be ownership on how users are accessing data and what they should be allowed to access. With the AmZetta Digital Workspace, organizations can see metrics for all the activity within their environment and ensure all regulatory norms are met and accounted for.
5. Ease of Management with Virtual Desktops (VDI) & Apps
Managing Computer Labs, Student Unions full of PCs and Classroom Desktops is over. Educational institutions are migrating to Virtual Desktops (VDI) and App Hosting for students to access via a Virtual Workspace. VDI and Virtual App Hosting are now more costs effective than ever due to the technologies being integrated within the Digital Workspace Solution. Ditch the desktops and workstations and go virtual to provide ease of management to support a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) initiative that will save the educational institution money.
