Kasm Workspaces supports various use cases, including remote work and telecommuting, secure access for contractors and BYOD scenarios, managed desktop environments, application delivery to any device, facilitating developer environments, and various training and education functions.
Kasm supports a diverse ecosystem of workspace environments to meet virtually any business need. You can deploy full Linux desktop environments or Windows desktops for comprehensive computing experiences. For more specialized needs, Kasm offers browser-isolated web applications and robust development environments including VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Graphics professionals benefit from high-performance workstations for design and modeling tasks. The platform also enables secure access to internal web applications, protecting sensitive resources. Additionally, you can create and deploy custom workspace images tailored to your organization’s specific workflows and requirements.
Security is built into Kasm’s core design through its zero-trust architecture and session-based containerization. Each workspace exists as an isolated environment that automatically destroys all user data once the session ends. This prevents any potential threats from affecting the user’s local device or other workspaces. It also offers features like zero-trust security and secure web browsing.
The platform offers granular access controls and role-based permissions that simplify administrative oversight while maintaining strong security boundaries. Users can be required to authenticate with multiple factors, significantly reducing unauthorized access risks. All data moving through the system is fully encrypted, protecting sensitive information throughout its lifecycle.
For organizations with compliance needs, Kasm provides comprehensive session recording for audit trails. The system architecture prevents lateral movement between containers, containing potential security incidents.
Kasm optimizes performance through a sophisticated combination of technologies designed for demanding workloads. Its adaptive streaming technology continuously adjusts to changing network conditions, ensuring consistent user experiences.
For graphics-intensive applications, GPU acceleration delivers near-native performance levels. Administrators have precise resource allocation controls to ensure optimal user experience based on application requirements. Low-latency data transfer protocols minimize response times for interactive applications.
The platform employs bandwidth optimization techniques to maximize performance even in challenging network environments. During high-demand periods, auto-scaling capabilities ensure resource availability. For users dispersed geographically, edge deployment options reduce network latency by positioning resources closer to users.
Some popular alternatives to Kasm Workspaces include Apache Guacamole, VMware Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and Amazon WorkSpaces.
