Creating your Workspot Deployment depends on the initial type of deployment and the method of deployment:

Workspot Enterprise Browser (Only) Deployments

These deployments use the Workspot Enterprise Browser without Workspot Desktops and Application Servers. Follow the instructions in Getting Started with Workspot Enterprise Browser.

Workspot Cloud Desktop/App Server Deployments

These deployments use Workspot Desktops and Application Servers in the Cloud or on-premises. For major Clouds, we offer a semi-automated deployment using Terraform as well as manual procedures.

Note: The Workspot Enterprise Browser is bundled into all Cloud deployments.

Manual Installation

1. Create Workspot Landing Zone in Public/Private Cloud

Preliminary steps to ensure your target network, whether in the Cloud or on-premises, is ready for Workspot.

2. Create Workspot Control Subscription

This step creates your Workspot subscription and performs initial configuration of Workspot Control.

3. Add Public/Private Cloud to Workspot Control

If you will be using multiple Clouds, pick one to bring up first. You can return and add the others later.

4. Prepare Workspot Infrastructure in Public/Private Cloud

Workspot deployments generally require AD integration, provided by Workspot Enterprise Connector, and an RD Gateway so end-users can use the Workspot Client to reach their Workspot desktops and applications.

5. Create a Workspot Desktop Template

Templates from which Control can create desktops and application servers are configured and made available to Control here.

6. Create a Workspot Desktop Pool

7. Add Users and Assign Desktops
