Migration services
How a migration runs
Six stages, from a trial that costs you nothing to a platform your team runs. Join at whichever stage fits where you are.
Proof of technology
Trial up to two WorkSpaces for 60 days on the AWS Free Tier. We can set up the account for you.
Proof of concept
Up to five WorkSpaces and five of your business applications for 60 days, co-funded by AWS and Nuvens.
Discovery
We analyse your applications, CPU, memory, network traffic, and formulate a plan for migration.
High-level design and costs
A design and cost estimate based on right-sized WorkSpaces, checked against your management and security tools.
Low-level design and deployment
Built to AWS best practice, with user requirements gathered in workshops and your application delivery accounted for.
Handover and skills transfer
Your team takes over, we run it for you as a managed service, or we share the work between us.

The platform
How Nuvens design
Active Directory, Entra ID and MFA
AD-joined or Entra-joined WorkSpaces against your existing identity, with multi-factor authentication enforced.
Golden images by persona
An image for each type of user, with applications packaged and delivered through Microsoft Intune.
A standby desktop in a second region
Multi-Region Resilience keeps people working if the primary AWS region fails.
Fits your security stack
Zero-trust designs that work with the endpoint and network security tools you already run.
Joiners and leavers, automated
ServiceNow or your HR system connects to WorkSpaces Manager to create or remove WorkSpaces as people join or leave, retain them for audits, or place them under a litigation hold when required.
Thin clients and BYOD
Users connect from thin clients, company laptops or their own devices.
