IT service provider Cloud Compliance Solutions, Inc. (CCSI) has upgraded its infrastructure with technology from Leostream Corporation, creator of the world-leading Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform, and VergeIO,
the leading VMware alternative, resulting in significant cost savings,
optimized hardware use, and enhanced operational efficiency, the
companies announced today.
Founded in 2017, CCSI provides its clients with a complete suite of
cloud-related IT and compliance services. As a single provider offering
both critical services, CCSI delivers more accurate and cost-effective
IT and compliance solutions that significantly reduce its clients'
operational and audit costs.
CCSI opted to replace VMware due to significant challenges, including
affordability, scaling and performance for its multi-tenant platform
that provides its clients Desktop as a Service (DaaS)/Next-Gen DaaS
(NGDaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a
Service (DRaaS). CCSI's growth had surpassed VMware's capabilities, and
it needed an option that could support denser environments with more
powerful servers. Strategically, CCSI had concerns about VMware's new
licensing costs and models that required substantial upfront commitments
and the uncertain future of VMware Horizon.
The transition to VergeIO and Leostream has transformed CCSI's service
portfolio, enabling it to offer more robust and scalable services with
superior DaaS/NGDaaS, IaaS and DRaaS. With CCSI competing with providers
like AWS and Azure, the upgrade allows it to remain price-competitive
and provide better service and support.
"VergeOS's multi-tenant virtual data center technology and Leostream's
virtual desktop platform have empowered CCSI to provide customers with
fundamentally better performance and efficiency," said Kelley Allen,
CCSI CEO. "This project exemplifies CCSI's commitment to innovation and
customer satisfaction with high-quality, affordable, and reliable IT
solutions."
The phased upgrade began with DaaS/NGDaaS and Leostream for remote
desktop services including resource allocation, access control, and
policy enforcement. In addition to secure user profile management and
support for nearly all end-user devices and display protocols, the
combined solution delivered on its promise of increased performance:
boot times have dropped to seconds instead of minutes.
Next, CCSI shifted its IaaS offerings to VergeIO to create multi-tenant
virtual data centers (VDC), which allows customers to manage the VDC as
if it were on-premises technology, with CCSI as backup IT support. While
CCSI is a de-facto IT team for many customers with limited or no
full-time IT staff, VergeIO's VDC technology allows CCSI to attract new
clients whose IT teams want more control over their infrastructure.
The third phase, also enabled by VergeIO, expanded and simplified CCSI's
DRaaS capability so customers with on-premises IT infrastructure can
fail over to CCSI's infrastructure in a disaster. VergeOS VDC technology
seamlessly replicates all components to ensure a successful recovery in
CCSI's data center.
"When industry-leading IT experts like CCSI choose your product for
their own internal use, and to deploy to customers, it is the highest
possible endorsement," said Karen Gondoly, Leostream CEO. "This joint
infrastructure combining Leostream and VergeIO has been battle-tested in
multiple enterprises and we believe it's the strongest, most
feature-rich alternative to VMware, ESXi, and Horizon available today."
"CCSI's new architecture will provide long-term cost savings, starting
with reduced upfront license costs, maintaining its existing investment
in hardware, and enabling more virtual machines and desktops per
physical server," said Yan Ness, CEO of VergeIO. "More importantly, this
modernized desktop, infrastructure, and disaster recovery platform has
expanded what the company is able to offer its own clients, to truly do
more for less."
If you're considering a VMware exit, we have the perfect opportunity for
you to talk to someone who has made the journey. CCSI is joining
VergeIO and Leostream for a live conversation with IT professionals
about their switch from VMware to VergeIO/Leostream software on June 27th at 1:00pm EDT. Register here: https:www.verge.io/webinar-ccsi-moves-on-from-vmware.
The Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform for hosted desktops and
workstations offers a comprehensive solution for remote access to
maintain productivity, control costs, and ensure security with strict
authentication and authorization built on zero-trust concepts. Its
connection management system eliminates clunky corporate VPNs with an
ultra-efficient gateway that gives users access to only the specific
resources they have permission to use, automatically, regardless of
their location or device. The Leostream Platform shines even in
environments that rely on complex, specialty applications like energy
and science; large files such as media and entertainment; real-time
performance like financial services; and bulletproof network security
like government and defense.
