Digital workspace


A digital workspace is an integrated framework that facilitates the centralized management of end user computing (EUC) applications, data and endpoints. Vendors such as VMware, Microsoft and Citrix are unifying their portfolios of EUC products and marketing them as "digital workspaces," "unified workspaces" or "virtual workspaces." 


Digital workspaces centralize end user resources and deliver the right resources to the right end user through a cloud-based console. A unified framework makes it easier for information technology (IT) administrators to deliver, manage and secure resources for end users, no matter what type of device they are using. 


Digital workspaces are policy-driven. One of the central principles in establishing a perimeterless digital workplace is that the network alone does not determine which services a user can access. Instead, contextual data gathered from the device and the user's credentials dynamically determine the appropriate access. 


The delivery of resources through a digital workspace portal permits single sign-on (SSO) and secure file-sharing across an organization's endpoints. Some enterprise-level digital workspace offerings may also include the following capabilities: 
  • App and desktop virtualization.
  • Enterprise mobility management (EMM)
  • Mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM)
  • Secure access to software as a service (SaaS) apps.
  • Secure browsing.
  • Advanced analytics and monitoring.

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a computer chip that performs rapid mathematical calculations, primarily for the purpose of rendering images. A GPU may be found integrated with a central processing unit (CPU) on the same circuit, on a graphics card or in the motherboard of a personal computer or server. In the early days of computing, the CPU performed these calculations. As more graphics-intensive applications such as AutoCAD were developed; however, their demands put strain on the CPU and degraded performance. GPUs came about as a way to offload those tasks from CPUs, freeing up their processing power. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and ARM are some of the major players in the GPU market. GPU vs. CPU A graphics processing unit is able to render images more quickly than a central processing unit because of its parallel processing architecture, which allows it to perform multiple calculations at the same time. A single CPU does not have this capability, although multi...

What's the difference between two-step verification and 2FA?

  The two terms, two-step verification, and two-factor authentication are synonymous, though the former is now being used more widely by the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Apple as it better conveys how the actual authentication process works. In the past, two-step verification was used to describe processes that used the same authentication factors, while two-factor authentication described processes that involved different factors, such as entering a password on a website and receiving a numerical code on a mobile device. Today, the two terms are both used to describe authentication that involves a secondary factor that is different from the first. Authentication is a vital element of access control and data security because users can be assigned access rights and be authorized to perform certain actions only after successful authentication is performed. The ways in which someone can be authenticated fall into three categories based on what is known ...

Black Swan Event

A black swan event is an incident that occurs randomly and unexpectedly and has wide-spread ramifications. The event is usually followed with reflection and a flawed rationalization that it was inevitable. The phrase illustrates the frailty of inductive reasoning and the danger of making sweeping generalizations from limited observations. The term came from the idea that if a man saw a thousand swans and they were all white, he might logically conclude that all swans are white. The flaw in his logic is that even when the premises are true, the conclusion can still be false. In other words, just because the man has never seen a black swan, it does not mean they do not exist. As Dutch explorers discovered in 1697, black swans are simply outliers -- rare birds, unknown to Europeans until Willem de Vlamingh and his crew visited Australia. Statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb uses the phrase black swan as a metaphor for how humans deal with unpredictable events in his 2007...
