AVEVA Unified Engineering Desktop

AVEVA uses Amazon WorkSpaces, a fully managed secure Windows Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) service in the AWS cloud, to provide each user of AVEVA Unified Engineering on CONNECT (AVEVA Unified Engineering) with a personal virtual desktop that includes all the AVEVA Unified Engineering applications.

The following image shows the desktop for a typical user.

Note: The AVEVA™ E3D Design desktop icon will be either 2.x or 3.x series depending on the series agreed before the AVEVA Unified Engineering environment deployment stage.

The maintenance of this virtual desktop is managed partly by AVEVA and partly by your administrator. You can perform the tasks on this virtual desktop in the same way as a physical desktop but without having to worry about upgrades or patches.

Important: If you have not logged into the virtual desktop at least once in a calendar month, the workspace will be deleted on the last day of the month. Along with it, the data on the D:\ is also lost and cannot be restored. A new workspace is automatically created when you log in again. However, for the new workspace, the initial start-up takes around 20 minutes, and you will need to reconfigure any changes to default regional settings.
