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

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.
About VergeIO
VergeIO is the leading VMware Alternative. Unlike hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI), its ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI)
rotates the traditional IT stack (computing, storage, and
networking) into an integrated data center operating environment,
VergeOS. Its efficiency enables greater workload density using
existing hardware while improving data resiliency. The result is
dramatically lower costs, improved availability, and greatly
simplified IT.
About Leostream
The Leostream Remote Desktop Access Platform embodies over 20
years of Leostream research and development in supporting customers
with hosted desktop environments, including VDI, hybrid cloud, and
high-performance display protocols. It provides the world’s most
robust desktop connection management and remote access feature set,
allowing today’s enterprises to choose the best-of-breed components
to satisfy their complex security, cost, and flexibility needs
while working with them as they evolve into tomorrow.
