Inuvika OVD Enterprise

What Inuvika OVD Enterprise is

Inuvika OVD Enterprise delivers Windows and Linux applications and virtual desktops to users’ devices or HTML5-compatible browsers. Organizations can install it on premises or in public or private clouds, then manage servers, users and applications from a web-based administration console. Its client options include Windows, macOS and Linux desktop software, iOS and Android mobile apps, and web access; the listed client platforms also include ChromeOS.

For remote access, the Enterprise Secure Gateway works without a VPN or external ports beyond port 443. The platform includes two-factor authentication, supports Duo and external SAML2 providers, and uses TLSv1.2 to protect sessions. Data Air Locking keeps applications and data in the datacenter while processing takes place on the server. OVD integrates with Active Directory and LDAP directories, and supports VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM and Nutanix AHV, along with NFS, CIFS and WebDAV storage.

A single instance can serve multiple domains while keeping tenant data isolated. Service providers can use multi-tenancy and white-labeling. Subscriptions include standard support, with premium support available for mission-critical deployments. Pricing starts at $7.50/user/mo on an annual basis; a five-year subscription is listed at $7.50 a year, billed per concurrent user per month.

Who it suits

OVD Enterprise suits organizations that need to deliver Windows or Linux applications and desktops across a mix of devices, browsers and deployment environments. Its multi-tenancy, white-labeling and administration tools also suit managed or cloud service providers serving multiple domains.
