Best Practices
Although Moka5 meets the growing demand for secure, simply managed Windows workspaces, a successful program takes more than superior technology. Long term success requires a combination of good policies, technology, and processes.
Moka5 is committed to helping organization’s implement successful programs that meet the needs of the company, IT staff, as well as end-users. To that end, we have created a variety of content that addresses best practices, processes, and tips and tricks to help you achieve IT success.
Simplified Workspace Management Best Practices
Endpoint management systems such as Tivoli, Altiris, and HP – as well as their junior cousins MobileIron and Airwatch – are all fundamentally designed to manage devices. They use agents to manage device settings, security, updating patches, and software distribution. What they don’t address are the special needs that arise from supporting highly mobile end-users such as:
- Enabling rapid on – and off-boarding of new and remote employees
- Deploying Windows workspaces to real estate across the globe
- Deploying in remote / poor network bandwidth areas
- Securing data access to local, intranet and Sharepoint data without requiring a VPN
- Separating personal from professional data assets
- Ensuring a positive end-user experience and productivity in low-latency environments or no latency environments
In contrast, Moka5’s data and user centric management approach enables you to simply manage only users and their data. Here are our newest whitepapers and videos that illustrate the benefits and best practices of this approach:

Workspace Security Best Practices
Gartner predicts by 2017 more than 1/3rd of all employees will be contractors and that half of all Enterprise organizations will require all employees to supply their own electronic devices including computers for business use. There is an additional – and likely much larger – number of mobile devices accessing corporate networks, sensitive data and business applications - including employees’ home computers and their personal smartphone or tablet.
How do you efficiently provision and manage IT access for employees and contractors when they are not always physically in your corporate headquarters, or if their computing assets are not corporate-owned? What is your plan for managing, securing, and supporting all those devices while still providing secure access to critical data and applications?
Moka5’s security model supports compliance initiatives as well as full-on data security. When used in conjunction with host-based anti-malware and other security measures, containers add an extra level of data security that traditional security tools simply can’t match. That’s because Moka5 was built with security in mind from the ground-up. Moka5 container is fully encrypted and supports AES235 authentication, so your critical data remains locked tight within.
Security is a cornerstone of the Moka5 technology and we’re committed to collecting the latest thinking on security best practices. Below is some of the top information of addressing security concerns.

Remote Access
Whether employees and contracted staff are in your corporate headquarters or on the other side of the globe, most of your workforce is now remote. A road warrior and an executive carrying a laptop home for the evening are both accessing your network, sensitive data and business applications. Lack of oversight and control are two of the chief concerns about remote access. Meanwhile, end users – and their bosses – are frustrated with reduced productivity and poor user experience, when accessing your network over low or no bandwidth networks or via traditional VDI.
And updating software? Fuhgeddaboutit. The standard method for updating PCs is still done manually in many large enterprises – and this doesn’t even begin to deal with Macs and other platforms that may be in use. Moka5 enables IT to deploy Windows workspaces to real estate across the globe, even in locations that are remote or have poor network bandwidth.
Similarly, your offshore development operations must jump through multiple hoops to begin operations and ensure the safety and security of the valuable IP they work on. Moka5 not only ensures that every developer has access to the tools they need but that all source code remains secured within the workspaces – and visible to your IT administrators!
Below is information to help you with your remote access challenges, whether it is the traveling workforce or an offshore development shop.
