Fast, intuitive deployment

Deploying Kaviza is simple - just install the Kaviza virtual appliance on a hypervisor-enabled server, power it up, and you are ready to go. With Kaviza, all the functionality needed to provision and manage virtual desktops and create a highly available grid is in a single consolidated virtual appliance.

Horizontal Scalability

Kaviza is a horizontally scalable VDI solution using inexpensive commodity hardware. We accomplish this through our patent-pending desktop specific architecture designed for scale-out, similar to modern Web architectures like Google.

Low costs

Kaviza is inexpensive to deploy, with no hidden costs. All you need to deploy Kaviza are hypervisor-enabled commodity servers. Kaviza is cost-effective for 25 desktops and up - see our cost breakdown for details.

Superior User Experience

Pristine desktops. Users get pristine, virus-free desktops on each refresh. Refresh policies can be set to be on each login or on a periodic basis.
Instant access. Users see login times of just a few seconds.
“Follow me” feature. A user can access the same desktop session from different locations.
No user maintenance. Users no longer have to wait and watch as their PC is patched and updated. With Kaviza, this happens behind the scenes through templates.

Easy administration

Kaviza's lingua franca is desktops and users. As an administrator, you do not have to worry about virtual machines, or resource pools and other virtualization details. Kaviza enables desktop administrators to focus on what they care most about – users and their desktops.
Templates. Administrators can setup different templates for the various groups of users in their organization. User desktops are generated from templates, administrators simply update templates and the changes are automatically propogated to the desktops based on policies.
Storage optimization. Using linked clone technology, multiple virtual desktops are generated from a single image.
Automated resource allocation. There is no need to estimate and pre-allocate pools of servers for the various types of desktops. Resources are allocated dynamically making it easy to scale the infrastructure on demand.
Single management pane. Since Kaviza's solution is one integral product and not a collection of multiple components, there is one management pane to administer all aspects of desktop operations.
Hot-pluggable. Kaviza offers built-in high availability. As you add new servers, Kaviza's kMGR automatically balances and replicates the workload to accommodate for new capacity. Kaviza automatically detects server failures and migrates the workload to healthy servers in the grid.
Dynamic desktop provisioning. Kaviza dynamically provisions desktops to users based on the policies you set.
Built-in load balancer and connection broker. Kaviza automatically load balances the desktop workloads dynamically across the grid, so you don't need any external load balancers. Similarly, Kaviza brokers all the connections, so no third-party connection broker is required.
Flexible deployment. With Kaviza, you have a choice of distributing the servers across branch and remote offices and still managing them centrally from headquarters for performance reasons. In places where WAN performance can be spotty, this offers better end-user experience because users access their desktops via a fast local LAN.
