Most of the existing solutions for delivering remote desktops, which are based on classic virtual desktop infrastructure, were not designed for the public cloud. Therefore, these solutions require a lot of effort in terms of administration, management and debugging.

In contrast, Spot PC, specifically built for the public cloud, will allow Managed Service Providers (“MSP”) and organizations to deliver advanced and profitable cloud desktop solutions to their clients and help them deliver flexible and secure remote work experiences to the workforce.

Spot PC enables MSPs and companies to deploy cloud desktops across various locations and regions with speed, flexibility and agility to serve a wide range of workloads for knowledge and technical computing users.

Netapp’s latest solution ensures that cloud desktop environments meet security, availability and performance requirements without burdening the IT team.
Spot PC also uses patent-pending AI and machine learning automated optimization to deliver a “predictable” cost structure.

NetApp provides enterprise storage as well as data management software and hardware products and services. The Sunnyvale, CA-based company’s product line comprises two storage platforms — FAS and E-Series. The company’s all-flash storage portfolio comprises NVMe-based storage systems and new cloud-based services in order to provide hybrid storage architecture.
