When refactor isn't on the timeline and RDP or AppStream won't pass security review, WebStream gives you a repeatable browser access layer for AWS MAP Phase 2 workloads.
You know how to move Windows workloads to EC2. The blocker is user access that satisfies security without blowing the project schedule.
MAP Phase 2 deadlines don't allow a multi-year re-platform. The application must move as-is — but traditional access models don't fit the plan.
Direct RDP to migrated instances creates audit gaps — no file egress control, no clipboard policy, no session visibility for compliance teams.
Session-based streaming works for some workloads — but forms-heavy, file-integrated business apps often need a different access and policy model.
One-off workarounds don't scale across a portfolio. You need a documented, reusable approach for every remaining Windows blocker app.
Phase 2 workload migration must show progress before funding milestones lapse — blockers cost real money.
Each migration wave needs architecture sign-off. Access patterns that worked on-prem won't automatically pass cloud review.
It's rarely one app — it's the last five Windows LOB systems, each with different vendors and integration points.
SI timelines assume lift-and-shift. Refactor scope creep puts the entire program at risk.
WebStream ACP on EC2 — browser delivery with policy enforcement your security team can document in the architecture review.
Move the Windows application to EC2 unchanged. WebStream handles browser rendering and user session — no code changes required.
File upload/download policies, print control, clipboard rules, and full session audit — the controls RDP can't provide.
Deploy on EC2 with standard AWS tooling. Document the pattern once and reuse it across every remaining blocker workload.
“Everything else was in AWS. One engineering LOB app on Windows was the reason we couldn't close Phase 2 — and refactor was off the table.”
Thick-client ERP modules and industry extensions that must move with the database — not wait for a SaaS replacement roadmap.
PLM, CAD-adjacent, and production planning tools tied to Windows workflows and local file integrations.
Administrative and case-management systems where procurement cycles prevent replacement before datacentre exit deadlines.
Run a PoC with your blocker application on EC2 — most teams have a working browser session within days.
