Amazon WorkSpaces Core is a new, fully managed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) service that combines the security, global reliability, and cost efficiency of AWS with existing VDI management solutions. WorkSpaces Core removes the need for capacity planning or infrastructure refreshing, and simplifies the provision, deployment, and management of VDI environments. With WorkSpaces Core, you can migrate your on-premises VDI solutions to AWS or deploy in a hybrid environment spanning on-premises resources and WorkSpaces Core infrastructure. Manage your entire user base from a single console without disrupting end users or retraining your IT staff.

Hermann Hauser is on shaky ground when he asserts that the UK should aspire to being ‘technologically sovereign’. The UK never has been technologically sovereign in ICs and has not suffered as a result – buying in cheap chips from the US, Japan and Korea in the gluts and getting by when ASPs rise. At …
