Overview

Island’s Enterprise Browser presents a modern, cloud-native solution that reimagines how organizations approach VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and DaaS (Desktop as a Service). Unlike traditional VDI and DaaS models that rely on costly, complex infrastructure and virtual machines, Island offers a lightweight, secure, and scalable browsing environment that isolates enterprise activity at the browser level. This eliminates the need for full desktop virtualization, drastically reducing overhead while enhancing user experience and security. Built for the enterprise from the ground up, the solution allows organizations to enforce precise security and productivity policies without impacting end-user performance. With its ability to run on virtually any endpoint—whether managed or unmanaged—Island empowers organizations to enable secure work-from-anywhere scenarios, reduce operational costs, and simplify IT administration.
