Cloud Execution for Desktop
Cloud Execution for Desktop lets you save
Designer-built workflows to the Alteryx Analytics
Cloud, then schedule and run them using cloud
resources. This means you can protect your existing
investments in workflows as you accelerate toward
cloud and build out use cases that can be developed
across Alteryx’s entire portfolio both on the desktop
and in the cloud.
Save and publish to cloud
Schedule and automate
Execute and augment

Why Now
Hybrid IT architectures are the norm. Alteryx’s cloudconnected experiences, including Cloud Executionfor Desktop, are the bridge toward cloud, delivering
an end-to-end platform experience across all
deployment scenarios.

How It Works
1. With a cloud workspace leveraging
Private Data Handling, create a link from Designer
desktop to the Alteryx Analytics Cloud Platform.
2. Save workflows built in Designer to the Alteryx
Analytics Cloud Platform.
3. Execute and schedule workflows built in Designer
directly from the cloud workspace.

WITH CLOUD EXECUTIONFOR DESKTOP, YOU CAN

We deploy Alteryx in an
AWS environment and use
it as a cornerstone of ourcloud service management
profile for the operations
business. Moving Alteryx
to a cloud-deployedarchitecture in AWS
expanded our capabilities
far more than we expected.”

Cloud-Connected Experiences
Leverage on-prem for success in the cloud

CREATE & EDIT

ORCHESTRATE & RUN

Extend On-Prem Workflows Into the Cloud

What Makes Us Different

Execute your on-prem-built workflows using the powerof the cloud.

FLEXIBLE EXECUTION

Unify Analytics
Unify your analytics assets across on-premises and cloud.

Familiar Experience
Existing Server users will already be familiar withthe process of saving, packaging, scheduling, and runningworkflows.

Access Cloud Features
Utilize cloud processing and enhance your existing workflows
and processes with new cloud-based features and apps.

Fill Cloud Gaps
Leverage as much as possible in the cloud, but supplementwith desktop for certain use cases. Pass data from on-premworkflows to other cloud applications, or benefit from
Designer’s ability to connect to 80+ data sources.

Cloud Execution for Desktop
provides another option forcustomers to remotely execute
workflows that were built in
Designer desktop.

ENTERPRISE READY
Private Data Handling andData Connection Manager secure
customer data and connections
at enterprise scale.

EASY TO USE WITH A
FAMILIAR EXPERIENCE
