Rethink Your VDI Stack

The cost, complexity, and inflexibility of traditional VDI is over. VergeIO and Inuvika have partnered to deliver a smarter, faster, and leaner way to deliver virtual desktops.

How Healthy is Your VDI?

You’ve read about it. You’ve heard about it from peers. You may even be experiencing it yourself. Legacy VDI deployments built on VMware vSphere, Horizon, and Citrix are becoming unmanageable. Licensing costs are surging, integrations are unwieldy, and IT teams are burdened by outdated infrastructure, multiple management consoles and extra “bells and whistles” features that simply justify added cost.

Many organizations are looking for a simpler, more cost-effective alternative that doesn’t compromise on performance or control and can grow with the organization. You may be one of them.

If it’s time to reevaluate your VDI environment, why not rethink it completely?

Inuvika + VergeIO Deliver a Modern, Cost-Effective Alternative to VMware and Citrix

Inuvika has partnered with VergeIO to offer a streamlined, high-performance alternative to traditional VDI solutions like VMware Horizon and Citrix. Our combined solution simplifies virtual desktop and application delivery, reduces costs, and enhances scalability.

What Makes Us Different?

Simple and Cost-Effective

VergeIO simplifies infrastructure by unifying compute, storage, networking, and virtualization in one software-defined stack. This approach eliminates the spiraling costs of vSphere.

More about VergeOS.

Streamlined Delivery

Inuvika OVD Enterprise streamlines virtual desktop delivery with a lightweight architecture and low management overhead that removes the cost and complexity of solutions like Omnissa Horizon and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.

More about Inuvika OVD Enterprise.

Why Choose a Solution from VergeIO + Inuvika?

Lower Cost

Reduce licensing and infrastructure costs for your combined HCI and VDI stack. Save up to 50% in upfront licensing fees, and a long-term TCO savings of 3X or more.

Easier Management

Reduce the need for multiple tools that take time to learn and manage. OVD uses a single web-based console to manage your VDI infrastructure, apps, users, and file resources.

Scalability

Grow your VDI environment when your business needs grow.

Fast Deployment

Launch VDI services in hours, not weeks or even months. Save on costly consultant and implementation services.

Built-in Security

MFA, SSO, secure remote access gateways, and granular policy controls are included out-of-the-box, with no additional fees or hidden costs.

Great User Experience

Provide fast, reliable access to apps and desktops from any device. Frozen sessions, long log-in and launch times and random disconnects are things of the past.

No Vendor Lock-In

You are in full control over your environment with flexible deployment options, including on-premises, public clouds, or a mix of both.

Frequently Asked Questions

VergeIO and Inuvika have partnered to develop a "complete stack" alternative to traditional VDI solutions, which typically rely on VMware vSphere and Omnissa Horizon, or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Our integrated solution combines VergeIO’s highly efficient Hyper Converged Infrastructure platform (VergeOS) with Inuvika’s OVD Enterprise virtual desktop and application platform to create a fast, efficient and cost-effective VDI solution that reimagines the entire VDI stack.

The combined solution supports persistent and non-persistent Windows and Linux desktops, as well as Windows and Linux applications with or without a desktop.

The VergeOS platform eliminates inefficiencies and bottlenecks that can impact conventional storage and file system performance related to VDI. In addition, Inuvika OVD Enterprise is built to be a modern, high-performance VDI platform that addresses legacy issues like slow log-in times, session disconnects, and slow app launches. The combined benefits result in a user experience that is fast, fluid, and reliable.

Yes. Unlike Citrix and VMware, which make use of multiple management applications that administrators must learn and manage, the VergeIO+Inuvika solution simplifies management through the use of web-based management consoles to manage every aspect of your VDI environment. Additionally, the Inuvika and Verge management consoles provide the ability to integrate with other management consoles via APIs.

No. The solution offers flexibility for deployment on various hardware and cloud environments, so you can avoid costly and troublesome vendor lock-in issues.
