Introduction
HyWorks is the core engine behind Accops’s desktop and application virtualization capability, and understanding what it specifically does helps organizations evaluate it accurately against alternatives. This page focuses specifically on HyWorks as a product, its capabilities, and how Virajo AutoSoft deploys it for enterprise clients.
What is Accops HyWorks?
Accops HyWorks is the virtualization and connection brokering engine that provisions and manages virtual desktops and published applications, forming the core of Accops’s broader Digital Workspace suite. It handles machine catalog and golden image management, session brokering, and profile management, giving administrators a single console to manage desktop delivery across the organization. HyWorks supports persistent, non-persistent, and pooled desktop configurations, allowing organizations to match delivery model to specific user roles.
Benefits of HyWorks
- Unified management console: desktop and application delivery are managed from a single administrative interface.
- Flexible desktop models: supports persistent, non-persistent, and pooled configurations within one platform.
- Cost-effective licensing: generally more accessible than some premium global alternatives for comparable capability.
- Application publishing: supports delivering individual applications without exposing a full desktop.
- Profile management: preserves user personalization consistently across sessions.
Key Features
- Machine catalog and golden image management for consistent desktop provisioning.
- Session brokering that matches users to available or assigned virtual machines.
- Application publishing for delivering individual tools without full desktop exposure.
- Profile management ensuring consistent personalization across sessions.
- Centralized monitoring and reporting through the management console.
Business Use Cases
A company standardizing back-office operations across multiple branches uses HyWorks to provision identical, centrally managed desktop images to every location from a single console. An organization with a specific legacy application used by only a handful of employees publishes that single application through HyWorks rather than delivering a full desktop to those users. A business experiencing seasonal demand swings uses HyWorks’s pooled desktop configuration to scale capacity up and down efficiently.
Industries Using HyWorks
- BFSI: uses HyWorks for consistent, centrally managed branch desktop delivery.
- Government: values HyWorks’s on-premises deployment flexibility for data residency.
- BPO: relies on pooled desktop configurations for efficient seasonal scaling.
- Manufacturing: uses application publishing for specific engineering or ERP tools.
Deployment Process
Virajo AutoSoft configures HyWorks based on your specific user personas, building appropriate golden images and machine catalogs, configuring session brokering and profile management, and setting up application publishing for any tools that do not require full desktop delivery. A pilot group validates the configuration before wider rollout, with our managed services team continuing to maintain golden images and monitor performance afterward.
Security Considerations
HyWorks benefits from centralized golden image management, allowing consistent security hardening across every provisioned desktop rather than managing configuration drift across distributed physical machines. Virajo AutoSoft configures multi-factor authentication at the authentication layer and integrates Accops HySecure as an additional secure access gateway for organizations requiring stricter external access controls.
