Unlike other competitors to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or VMware Horizon Apps (now Omnissa), Inuvika OVD Enterprise uses Linux powered application virtualization. As a result, you will need fewer Microsoft Windows licenses. With better processing speed, less infrastructure is needed to deliver a cloud-based app or desktop experience when compared to other desktop virtualization software or VDI.
All of this with a single, easy to use, web-based admin console that you will be an expert on in a day.
If you are looking for one of the best alternatives to Citrix or VMware (Omnissa), Inuvika OVD is the answer.
Access both Windows and Linux apps together on any desktop, laptop and mobile device. Apps are delivered quickly to the user through a Web portal, shared desktop, or as integrated apps on the users' own local desktop. OVD has unmatched USB device redirection, highly optimized video streaming and native support for applications like Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
OVD is built on the principle of Zero Trust. Administrators have granular control of user access, and functionality can be enabled and disabled on a user, group or global basis. There is built in Multi-factor Authentication (2FA) removing the need for additional cost from another service (but can support Duo natively and any SAML2 compatible provider). All data transferred between the user and their apps is encrypted using advanced technology, providing a more secure alternative to VPNs.
You can also manage every aspect of your OVD environment through a single, easy-to-use Web console. There's no need to install a management client on your desktop. OVD can be securely managed from anywhere, on any device.
OVD is sold as a simple, all-inclusive subscription plan and has a total cost of ownership (TCO) as little as 60% of other virtual desktop alternatives. You won't need Microsoft SQL Server licenses or separate gateway solutions such as Citrix NetScaler/ADC. Our simple resource containerization packs more users onto your application servers allowing even further optimization.
OVD embraces today's leading Enterprise standards. It works with any hypervisor (i.e. vSphere, KVM, Hyper-V Proxmox, and Nutanix AHV), any Active Directory or LDAP directory service, and deploys on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure and any other public or private cloud provider. This principle of being agnostic provides customers and MSPs with maximum flexibility when it comes to both hardware and hosting requirements.
OVD can be installed and configured in as little as a few hours, compared to weeks with desktop virtualization software like Citrix and VMware. This means less disruption to your user base. OVD deploys on Linux and integrates with existing Linux and Microsoft backend systems. Upgrades are also straight forward and performed in minutes rather than hours.
