In a modern digital environment, employees need fast, secure access to applications and desktops—no matter where they are working from. Kasm Workspaces brings this flexibility to life by supporting both container-based sessions and Windows-based server sessions.
With the ability to integrate with Microsoft RDS, Azure Virtual Desktops, Windows 365, and more, Kasm empowers businesses to deliver a scalable and secure virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that adapts to user needs.
Why Windows Integration Matters
Windows remains the backbone of enterprise productivity. From specialized business apps to Office tools, organizations rely on Windows-based environments to keep teams productive. Kasm makes this integration effortless and modern, offering features that include:
- File Transfers – Users can upload and download files between their local machine and the Windows session.
- Multi-User Support – Multiple concurrent users can connect to a single Windows system.
- Script Automation – Admins can automate tasks (e.g., configuring registry settings or preparing user environments) with scripts that run when a session starts or ends.
- Smart Card Pass-Through – Enterprises can extend secure authentication mechanisms to remote sessions for compliance-heavy use cases.
Delivering Windows Apps Anywhere
Kasm offers two ways to present Windows environments:
- Windows Desktop Workspace – Provides a complete desktop experience accessible via web browser or local RDP client.
- Remote Apps – Instead of delivering an entire desktop, Kasm can stream individual applications (like Microsoft Excel, Edge, or PowerPoint) directly to users.
For example, in the demo, a Microsoft Excel Remote App was created by simply providing the executable path of Excel within the workspace configuration. This allows businesses to give users only the tools they need, reducing complexity and resource consumption.
Flexible Access: Web or Local Client
- Users can access Windows sessions in two ways: Web Native Client – Opens the Windows session directly in the browser for quick, secure access from any device.
- RDP Local Client – Downloads an RDP file that launches the session via the user’s local RDP client, supporting additional features like smart card pass-through across Windows and macOS devices.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Security is central to Kasm’s Windows integration. With features like the RDP HTTPS Gateway, connections are routed through secure, commonly allowed HTTPS ports (443), ensuring access even behind strict firewalls. Smart card pass-through further enhances secure authentication workflows, critical for regulated industries. View Kasm’s regulatory compliance information.
