If you don’t have a Mac, it’s a complete barrier [to learning app development]... We wanted them to be able to type in a web address, enter a password, and be ready to learn. That’s the experience we were able to create with MacStadium.
QA & Testing Teams
Testing software in a pure environment provides the most reliable results. However, wiping and resetting an actual computer each time a new test is required is hugely time-consuming. Orka Workspace provides a new, pure macOS desktop in seconds.
International Development Teams
Shipping Mac hardware is expensive, time-consuming, and unreliable in certain parts of the world. Eliminate wasted time and resources shipping machines internationally. Provide them a cloud-based macOS desktop instantly with Orka Workspace.
Short-term Contractors
Providing an expensive machine to a short-term contract worker gets expensive, especially when that machine may or may not be returned when the contract ends. Instead, use Orka Workspace to give them instant access to a virtual macOS workspace.
Use Orka Workspace to Scale Remote Capacity
Step 1: Users log into Orka Workspace using their username and password or via SSO.
Step 2: Orka Workspace instantly creates a virtual macOS desktop with the designated applications and settings.
Step 3: After the user logs off, the virtual desktop is dissolved, and the compute resources are available for another user.
