The shifting power dynamic in the desktop virtualization landscape has created opportunities for lesser-known platforms to increase their market share. These platforms are attracting dissatisfied customers from Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft with simpler use cases and advanced capabilities. Some of the companies making a mark in this space include Amazon Workspaces Core, Cameyo, Dizzion, Ericom, Frame, HP Anyware, Inuvika, Leostream, Nerdio, Parallels, and Workspot.
Amazon Workspaces Core offers a true hybrid cloud solution that integrates VDI environments with AWS without the need for a migration. On the other hand, Cameyo focuses on delivering remote access to Windows apps, while Dizzion provides a desktop-as-a-service platform with deep integrations and global presence. Ericom offers secure access services, while Frame is a cloud-managed platform for browser-based access to Windows desktops and applications. HP Anyware, now part of Teradici CAS, caters to organizations with graphically intense workloads.
Inuvika is a low-cost alternative with fully Linux backend, while Leostream is a virtual desktop and app broker that caters to high-tech industries with specialized remote graphics needs. Nerdio has advanced tools optimized for Azure Virtual Desktop, while Parallels offers desktop virtualization and a macOS-based client hypervisor. Workspot has developed a managed service platform that is ideal for GPU-intensive workloads.
Each of these platforms is primed for growth as organizations look to optimize their desktop virtualization practices. The disruption at the top of the market and the overall growth of desktop virtualization usage provide ample opportunities for these platforms to step up and compete with the established players like Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware. With innovation and a focus on customer needs, these platforms have the potential to ascend to the upper tier of the desktop virtualization market.
