swServer — secure browser workspace
Give employees, contractors and recovery teams controlled access to files, office tools, communication and approved apps from a browser — without exposing the rest of your network.
What companies use it for
Contractors and external partners
Give them exactly the files and apps they need, and nothing else on your network. No VPN client on their machine.
An administrator assigns sets of apps to groups. When the contract ends, you disable one account and the access is gone everywhere.
Business continuity and disaster recovery
Your recovery plan should not start with rebuilding laptops. Keep a workspace that your people reach from any browser if laptops, offices or primary systems are unavailable.
Files, office tools and communication are there from the first hour.
Remote, field and unmanaged devices
People work through a browser. The company environment is not installed on the device, and company data does not stay on it.
Every session belongs to one identity you control.
Companies that work in web apps
If your company uses web-based applications and not Windows-native ones, people do not need a Windows desktop. swServer gives them a full desktop in the browser: files, office documents, mail, calendar and your approved web apps.
Any computer with a browser is enough. On company PCs, the swDesktop appliance ISO boots the hardware straight into the workspace.
One identity
A new person gets one account and the workspace is ready. When they leave, you disable that account. Administrators can also end a single session or every session of a user at once.
