Client success story
Classified cloud hosted desktop
A classified cloud hosted enclave for virtual desktops and collaboration. Perimeta for Azure provided a secure, PROTECTED ready platform to host virtual desktop workloads which could scale rapidly.
“Using the flexibility of Azure, the speed of Citrix Cloud and the power of Microsoft Teams has brought partners together securely across network boundaries.”
Challenge
A public sector client wanted to provide a collaboration space for regulated industry partners at the PROTECTED classification level. There were several key requirements:
Scale on demand. The number of users and desktops was likely to fluctuate, so the solution needed to be able to expand or contract rapidly as required.
Use the latest collaboration technologies available to ensure teams worked together easily and efficiently.
The environment must possess the ability to process PROTECTED classified data while being accessible from any potential partner corporate network.
Solution
oobe created a classified collaboration space which scaled automatically on demand while adhering to the Australian Cyber Security Centre guidance for processing PROTECTED data.
Microsoft Azure hosts the workspace, and the cloud provides the flexibility to scale on demand.
Perimeta for Azure ensured a secure connection to the cloud and enforced cloud compliance in real time.
Microsoft 365 enhances the collaboration space with Teams and SharePoint Online.
Citrix Cloud delivers PROTECTED virtual desktops accessible from any trusted network.
With a focus on self service and automation, user accounts can be provisioned in minutes, and desktops services scaled up or down seamlessly, enabling secure collaboration with partners up to the PROTECTED classification.
Self service user creation using Logic Apps eliminates manual processes and greatly reduces service desk workload.
Scale desktops on demand using Azure and Citrix Cloud and reduce monthly infrastructure costs when workloads are not required.
Fast logons and modern applications make collaboration seamless across partner network boundaries.
