Posit Workbench
Enterprise server for running RStudio, Jupyter, and VS Code sessions on shared infrastructure with centralized admin control.
Posit Workbench is a commercial server product that lets organizations run RStudio, Jupyter, and VS Code sessions for many data scientists on shared, centrally administered infrastructure instead of local laptops. It handles user authentication (including SSO/LDAP), load balancing across sessions, licensing for multiple R and Python versions side by side, and resource management (CPU/memory limits, session scheduling), so IT can provision one governed environment rather than managing individual machines. It is typically deployed on-premises or in a customer's own cloud VPC (AWS, Azure, GCP) rather than as a public SaaS product. Posit usually bundles Workbench licensing with its other enterprise products, Connect (for publishing) and Package Manager (for governed package repositories), under negotiated contracts rather than published self-serve pricing.
