Proxy device orchestration as autonomous primary workspace

A memory storage device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processer or controller of a proxy peripheral device, cause the proxy peripheral device to:

• communicate with a workspace orchestration service upon deployment at a workstation where one or more client IHSs instantiate primary workspaces;
• receive one or more files from the workspace orchestration service;
• and
• instantiate a primary workspace based upon the one or more files and in the absence of any of the one or more client IHSs at a location.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a workspace instantiation request from a client Information Handling System (IHS) disposed at a given one of a plurality of workstations;
• terminating a first primary workspace operated by a proxy peripheral device disposed at the given workstation;
• and
• transmitting, to the client IHS, one or more files configured to enable the client IHS to instantiate a second primary workspace.
