Reach your office workstation from anywhere
Your office hardware is already paid for. MyWorkspace makes it reachable from any browser — with wake-on-LAN, centralized admin, and identity-verified sessions. No RDP exposure, no VPN tunnel, no hardware replacement.
The problem
Powerful workstations sit in the office while employees work from elsewhere. The tools designed to bridge this gap create more problems than they solve.
Engineering workstations, design machines, and department PCs run 24/7 or sit powered off while employees work from home. The capital investment is locked in hardware that nobody can reach when they are not in the building.
A sales engineer at a client site, an architect on a job walk, a finance lead at a conference — all need their office workstation and cannot reach it. Work stalls until they are back at the desk.
Exposing RDP to the internet is a documented security risk. Port forwarding through firewalls creates ongoing maintenance. VPN-plus-RDP stacks require multiple layers of configuration per user, per machine, per site.
Each user configures their own remote access — RDP files saved to desktops, personal VPN profiles, third-party agents with individual accounts. IT has no unified view of who accesses what, when, or from where.
How MyWorkspace solves this
MyWorkspace adds a secure access layer in front of existing office hardware. Users authenticate, select their assigned PC, and the session is live — directly in the browser.
Users open the MyWorkspace portal, authenticate with 2FA, and select their assigned office PC from the workspace list. The session opens in the browser — full desktop access to the same machine, same files, same applications.
Office PCs do not need to run around the clock. When a user initiates a session, MyWorkspace wakes the target machine remotely. When the session ends and the idle timeout passes, the machine can be put back to sleep — reducing power consumption and extending hardware life.
Administrators assign office PCs to users through a single console. See which machines are online, who is connected, and manage access policies across the entire fleet — without touching individual machines or maintaining per-user configurations.
Technical advantages
MyWorkspace works with the hardware and network infrastructure you already operate. No forklift upgrade, no PC replacement program, no new server infrastructure.
Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations of any age. If the machine runs a supported OS and has network connectivity, it can serve browser-based sessions through MyWorkspace. No hardware agent dongles or special peripherals needed.
Existing machines keep their installed software, configurations, and local data. MyWorkspace adds remote accessibility to what is already deployed — it does not replace the workstation with a cloud-hosted alternative.
Wake-on-LAN powers up machines on demand. Idle timeouts and scheduled shutdown policies reduce energy costs. Administrators see which machines are running, idle, or offline from the admin console.
If the connection drops, the office PC keeps running. The user reconnects from any device and resumes the exact same session — open applications, unsaved documents, and desktop layout are all preserved.
The on-premise gateway agent establishes outbound connections to MyWorkspace infrastructure. No RDP ports, no VPN concentrator ports, and no firewall rules for inbound traffic. The office network's perimeter stays closed.
Organizations with multiple offices deploy a gateway agent at each site. All sites appear in the same admin console and user portal. Users access their assigned PC regardless of which office it is in.
Security & trust
Office PCs are accessible without opening the network perimeter. Every connection passes through identity verification and policy evaluation before any desktop pixel is transmitted.
Use cases
Employees who split time between office and remote work access the same PC from both locations. In the office, they sit at the desk. At home, they connect through the browser. Same machine, same state, seamless transition.
CAD, BIM, and simulation workloads require workstation-class GPUs and large local datasets. MyWorkspace makes these machines accessible from lightweight laptops on job sites — without moving data or downgrading to less capable hardware.
Companies with PCs across multiple locations manage all of them from one admin console. Users travel between offices and access their home workstation from any site through the same portal.
Instead of buying a laptop for every remote worker in addition to their office PC, organizations use the existing workstation for both in-office and remote access. One machine per user, accessible from anywhere.
Industries where data must not leave the corporate network — legal, healthcare, finance — use browser-based access to keep files and applications on office hardware while giving staff remote access to their work environment.
FAQ
Yes. MyWorkspace connects to existing Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations. There is no hardware replacement required. If the machine runs a supported operating system and is reachable through the MyWorkspace gateway agent, it can be assigned to a user and accessed from the browser.
When a user requests access to an office PC that is powered off or in sleep mode, MyWorkspace sends a wake-on-LAN packet through the on-premise gateway. The machine powers on, the session becomes available, and the user connects — all from the browser without manual intervention at the office.
The office PC keeps running. Applications remain open, files stay as they were, and the session state is preserved. When the user reconnects — from the same device or a different one — MyWorkspace resumes the session exactly where it was.
Yes. Administrators assign specific PCs to specific users through the admin console. Users see only their assigned machines in the portal. Assignment changes take effect immediately — no client reinstall or reconfiguration needed.
No. MyWorkspace does not require any inbound ports open on the office network. The gateway agent establishes an outbound connection to the MyWorkspace routing infrastructure. Remote desktop protocols stay internal to the office network — they are never exposed to the public internet.
