VergeIO and Inuvika Partner

VergeIO, Inc. and Inuvika, Inc., provider of application virtualization and VDI solutions, announced a partnership to deliver a more cost-effective virtual desktop and application delivery platform.

This collaboration provides organizations with a scalable alternative to VMware Horizon and Citrix, addressing the increasing cost and complexity of legacy VDI solutions.

Organizations can reduce IT costs by integrating VergeOS’ ultra-efficient, software-defined data center platform with Inuvika OVD Enterprise’s application and desktop virtualization while improving user experience and operational simplicity. The combined solution offers enterprises, educational institutions, and service providers an affordable and efficient way to deploy and manage virtual desktops and applications without the licensing constraints of traditional VDI platforms.

“With VMware and Citrix raising prices and complicating their offerings, organizations need a more efficient and cost-effective approach to VDI,” said Yan Ness, CEO, VergeIO. “Our partnership with Inuvika enables organizations to eliminate unnecessary software licensing fees while improving the performance and manageability of their virtual desktop environments.“

Kevin Gallagher, CEO, Inuvika, added: “Partnering with VergeIO allows us to provide organizations with a modern, scalable VDI solution that can replace both VMware Broadcom and Omnissa Horizon for a complete solution for end customers and MSP/CSP partners. Inuvika OVD’s Linux-based architecture, combined with VergeOS’ highly-integrated infrastructure, delivers a faster, more secure, and cost-effective alternative to legacy desktop virtualization solutions.“

Smarter, More Efficient Approach to Virtual Desktops
Unlike traditional VDI solutions that require expensive third-party hypervisors and complex storage architectures, the VergeIO and Inuvika solution leverages VergeOS’ integrated storage and virtualization capabilities to reduce hardware requirements and simplify IT management. Inuvika OVD complements this by delivering Windows and Linux applications and desktops and reducing the Microsoft server  licensing costs, enabling organizations to deploy VDI at a fraction of the cost of VMware/Omnissa Horizon or Citrix.

Key benefits of the joint solution include:

• Lower TCO: Say goodbye to costly hypervisor and VDI licensing fees with a more streamlined pricing model.
• High-Performance VDI: Eliminate boot storms and slow logins with VergeFS’ integrated storage and Inuvika’s optimized application delivery.
• Simplified Management: Reduce administrative complexity with a single, intuitive management interface for infrastructure and virtual desktops.
• Flexible Deployment: Support for persistent and non-persistent desktops and Linux and Windows applications ensures organizations can tailor VDI to their needs.

Organizations currently using VMware Horizon or Citrix and seeking a cost-effective alternative are encouraged to explore the combined VergeIO and Inuvika solution
