Case Study

Faster Global Delivery with Secure Cloud Developer Workstations

Background

A leading global software development and consulting firm partnered with Rambunct to adopt AWS WorkSpaces for secure, on-demand cloud development environments across its worldwide delivery centers. This transformation replaced physical desktops, streamlined provisioning, improved version control, ensured data security compliance, enabled rapid scaling, reduced hardware costs, and unified operations across teams.

The Challenge

The client needed a secure, scalable development environment to replace physical desktops for its globally distributed teams.

  • Teams worked on sensitive projects requiring strict data security, version control, and controlled access.

  • Physical desktops and laptops created challenges in procurement, security, and environment consistency across geographies.

  • Scaling for short-term or project-based staffing was slow and costly.

Our Solution

Amazon WorkSpaces was implemented by rambunct to deliver secure, standardized, cloud-based virtual desktops for all development teams for the client.

  • Provided persistent Windows or Linux WorkSpaces with pre-configured tools, VPN clients, and productivity apps.

  • Integrated AWS Directory Service for centralized authentication and access control.

  • Enabled secure collaboration with Amazon WorkDocs and monitored performance with Amazon CloudWatch.

  • Right-sized WorkSpaces by user profile and automated provisioning for rapid onboarding and offboarding.

The Result

The solution significantly improved onboarding speed, security, cost efficiency, and scalability.
  • Reduced environment setup from 3–4 days to under 4 hours (60% faster onboarding).

  • Improved security by ensuring client data and code remained within AWS and not on local devices.

  • Achieved 30% cost savings over physical machines, especially for short-term contracts.

  • Enabled rapid scaling to match project requirements while maintaining consistent performance.
