CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akamai Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM) announced today that Workspot is the latest organization to join the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program as an independent software vendor (ISV).
As an ISV in the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program, Workspot enables customers to seamlessly migrate from legacy on-premises VDI environments to Akamai Cloud PC — a fully managed, enterprise-grade desktop as a service (DaaS) solution. By running natively on Akamai’s globally distributed cloud, Akamai Cloud PC is designed to leverage the low-latency Akamai network to deliver high-performance computing closer to where users work. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise identity providers, security frameworks, and custom desktop images, ensuring a secure and consistent experience.
“Workspot is proud to power Akamai Cloud PC and bring the next generation of cloud desktops to enterprises worldwide,” said Subash Gopalkrishnan, CEO of Workspot. “By combining Workspot’s enterprise-grade desktop as a service platform with Akamai’s globally distributed cloud and low-latency network, organizations can seamlessly migrate from legacy on-premises VDI to a modern cloud PC experience that is simpler to deploy, more secure, and built for the performance demands of today’s workforce.”
“We are thrilled to now offer Akamai Cloud PC to customers as a high-performant and simple-to-use DaaS solution,” said Zak Putnam, Area Vice President of Global Cloud Partnerships at Akamai. “Workspot’s participation in the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program expands the options available to customers seeking to modernize their end-user computing. By qualifying as an ISV partner, Workspot provides enterprises with the ability to deploy and scale high-performance virtual desktop solutions across Akamai Cloud, the world’s most distributed platform for cloud computing, security, and content delivery.”
The Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program is designed to make solution-based services that are interoperable with Akamai’s cloud computing services easily accessible to Akamai customers. The services are provided by Akamai technology partners that complete a rigorous qualification process to ensure they are readily available to deploy and scale across the globally distributed Akamai Cloud. The services are available individually or can work together to form a larger ecosystem of complementary capabilities, which can offer performance and cost benefits by running on a single global platform.
