The Frequently Asked Questions… (1/2)Back-up

15

Awingu is a Service providerNo, Awingu is a software vendor. We do however sell our software to Service Providers so they can build an offering around it. Also, we are part of cloud marketplaces such as Azure Marketplace

Awingu offers VDINo, we are built around aggregation of applications and files. We don’t rely on a ‘desktop’, or desktop experience for that matter. It is possible to put a Remote Desktop behind Awingu should you want to have this specific usage.

Awingu runs my applicationsNo, Awingu will connect to application servers, SaaS, Web apps and files. It will not host/Run the applications or files within the (Awingu) appliance. We want to be as little disruptive as possible to an existing IT architecture.

I already have MDM so I can’t leverage on AwinguIn certain use cases the Awingu solution eliminates the need of an MDM solution. However, often Awingu will co-exist with MDM, sometimes for different use-cases (e.g. Smartphones via MDM, but not tablets).

Awingu eliminates the need of VPN/SSL setupYes, Awingu also uses an encrypted connection and supports multi factor authentication which makes it a secure solution. As such, you will still be using SSL, but in a user-friendly fashion. However, you won’t have hassle-full VPN setups and login procedures to work remotely.

Awingu is an Identity ProviderYes, we are IDP and offer SSO for SaaS. Today, this is mainly for Office 365 and Google Apps for Work. This will significantly extend in the near future.
