The FLOWSTER workflow template Workplace Automation is a software solution with which the deployment and administrative tasks of complex virtual environments can be cross-console and centrally automated. Both terminal servers and virtual desktop infrastructures in CITRIX or VMware farms are supported. Elaborate support operations can be delegated to the end-users via a self-service portal, reducing the burden on IT. The workplace administrator is thus supported in his/her daily work, as risk factors are more quickly recognized and automatically remedied.

ACTIVITIES AND CONNECTORS
For Server Automation
FLOWSTER Studio’s built-in activity library already covers most of the standard tools in the data center and is constantly being expanded. The activities can be simply dragged and dropped into the existing workflow, the parameterization only has to be done once. In a very short time, you can model your personal workflow according to your individual requirements. This is made possible by the extensive portfolio of connectors to most data center tools and cloud services. In general, any data center tool that has an API / interface can be controlled generically.
