Case Study: Ultivue reduces desktop costs and boosts secure remote access with Mission's Amazon WorkSpaces solution

Mission Helps Ultivue Run Windows More Efficiently in Amazon WorkSpaces

Ultivue, a biomolecular technology company based in Cambridge, MA, was experiencing performance issues with its graphics-heavy biomarker detection and tissue analysis application running on AWS. As users connected through a VPN, the IT team needed a faster, more secure, and easier-to-manage way to provide access to cloud resources. Mission helped address this challenge using Amazon WorkSpaces.

Mission implemented Amazon WorkSpaces in a tiered deployment, creating separate golden images and bundles for different user needs and integrating AWS Directory Service with Microsoft Active Directory for seamless login and password synchronization. The solution gave each user their own virtual desktop, improved remote access and manageability, and delivered consistent performance even as usage grew. Mission also right-sized pricing for different user profiles, reducing estimated costs by 40%.
