The ThinScale Cloud provides a browser-based portal that provides companies powerful endpoint management as well as faster IT deployment, quicker access to corporate resources, easier support, and automated updates. This blog will go through an overview of the cloud, its main components, and some of the benefits it will bring to your organization.
Exploring the ThinScale Cloud
ThinScale Cloud Overview
Providing a browser-based portal and an Azure-powered content delivery network, the ThinScale Cloud is the next step in both endpoint management and enterprise content delivery. The ThinScale Cloud consists of three main components:
- Device Portal
- Customer Global Content Delivery
- Update Services
1. Device Portal
Enterprise Endpoint Manager in your Browser
The ThinScale Device Portal takes the powerful ThinScale Management Platform and brings it to the cloud in a streamlined and efficient web interface. The Device Portal can be accessed from any modern browser by those with a valid ThinScale login or with valid credentials available for supported authentication providers.
As with the on-premises ThinScale Management Platform, access to the Device Portal is based on roles, meaning IT leadership can designate which IT team members can see which devices, settings, user activity, etc.
2. Customer Global Content Delivery
Region-based content delivery networks
The Customer Global Content Delivery offered by ThinScale Cloud is delivered using Microsoft Azure’s Content Delivery Networks (CDN). End-users’ content will be downloaded from their nearest relative network server. It allows global organizations to wave goodbye to bandwidth-related downtime. End-users based in the Netherlands will not have to connect and download resources from US servers, and vice versa.
3. Update Services
Automated updates for your thinScale environment
ThinScale Update Services allows ThinScale cloud users to automatically update their cloud-based management platform and their client-side deployments of ThinKiosk or Secure Remote Worker. Any hotfix or point release added for either ThinKiosk, Secure Remote Worker or the Device Portal, will be instantly applied. IT can, of course, opt out of this service if they would prefer not to avail of automatic updates.
What are the benefits of the ThinScale Cloud?
Security
The ThinScale Cloud, alongside Azure and Kubernetes containerization, provides the highest standard of endpoint management security. Containing role-based access & permissions, MFA integrations, Admin auditing, and more.
Scalability
The ThinScale Cloud allows any number of devices, users, roles, and permissions to be added or removed with a matter of clicks. This, on top of the serverless management, means that IT teams have less to prevent the active scaling of their organization should they need.
Visibility
The ThinScale Cloud provides observability over end-user actions, device performance, applications usage & status, device location, and even network performance details.
Learn more
The ThinScale Cloud provides services that will ease your endpoint management, increase IT deployment & support speeds, and decrease time spent on updating endpoint deployments and the management platform itself, all while providing a secure and scalable management solution that provides complete visibility over your endpoint environment.
