About the Partnership

This integrated solution brings together Kasm Workspaces Kasm Technologies' cloudnative platform for secure containerized desktop streaming with Rancher and Harvester, the enterprise Kubernetes management and hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) platforms from Rancher Government Solutions. The result is a transformative VDI solution designed to meet the growing demand for cloudnative infrastructure, delivering a unified, scalable, and resource-efficient alternative to traditional hypervisor-based desktop environments.

  • Kasm Workspaces: A Kubernetes-native VDI platform delivering secure, containerbased desktops and applications through a modern, DevOps-friendly architecture.
  • Rancher: A powerful platform for managing Kubernetes clusters at scale, enabling streamlined operations and centralized control across cloud and on-prem environments.
  • Harvester: A hyper-converged infrastructure platform that consolidates compute, storage, and networking into a single, unified Kubernetes-native environment.

Joint Solution Benefits

Hyperconverged Simplicity

Harvester integrates computing, storage, and networking into a single platform, simplifying VDI infrastructure and management under a unified control plane.

Unified Management with Rancher

Rancher delivers centralized visibility and control across containerized workloads and legacy VMs, streamlining VDI orchestration through a consistent management interface.

Efficient Resource Utilization

By leveraging lightweight containers orchestrated on-demand, the joint solution ensures optimal hardware usage and dynamic allocation of VDI sessions based on real-time user demand.

Scalability on Demand

Easily scale your virtual desktop environments to meet the needs of fluctuating workforces, including seasonal surges and remote work initiatives.

Cross-Cloud Portability

By reducing endpoint software maintenance costs and maximizing device lifespan, the joint solution contributes to IT modernization while supporting environmental sustainability goals.

Enterprise-Class VDI on Kubernetes

Kasm Workspaces brings true enterprise VDI capabilities to Kubernetes with native support for auto-scaling using KubeVirt and Harvester via open-source helm charts. This joint solution is purpose-built for organizations embracing hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.
