Know how ComputerVault OEM partnership makes remote computing fast, safe, and economical

From its headquarters in Marlborough, Massachusetts, ComputerVault Inc. sells its virtual desktop software worldwide. ComputerVault was developed over 10 years to deliver hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions.

“While we were developing solutions for large enterprises, we discovered the hyperconverged platforms we built delivered virtual desktops at incredible speeds,” says Marc Zarrella, vice president, head of Revenue and Partnerships at ComputerVault. “The technological advantage resulted in a high-performing virtual desktop that’s easy to use with an overall lower total cost of ownership.”

Shelter-in-place mandates due to COVID-19 increased the need for remote working. To help enterprises transition to teleworking environments, ComputerVault certified the 1U HPE ProLiant server platform to host the ComputerVault Hyper-converged Infrastructure enterprise software. ComputerVault reports that the HPE ProLiant server exceeded all performance and uptime benchmarks. The ComputerVault engineers performed numerous tests over four months, including one in which they created multiple virtual desktops running 500 YouTube videos simultaneously for 48 hours. “There was no buffering or pausing. Each video ran as if it was the only one running,” Zarrella says. ComputerVault’s software license includes on-site solution deployment and ongoing software administration performed by the company’s network operations center.

ComputerVault entered an HPE OEM partnership in April 2021 to use a tier-one hardware supplier. Having access to HPE’s supply, logistics, and channel partner networks will help the firm deliver solutions across the globe. “In addition to the technology, we chose this partnership because of the way HPE collaborates with their partners to bring technology products to market,” Zarrella notes. “It’s a natural fit for us. ComputerVault, HPE, and the channel are equal partners in deploying the solution.”

ComputerVault recently deployed its virtual desktop solution at a large certified public accountant (CPA) firm, whose clients include corporations and individuals. Data breaches for CPA firms are especially harmful because these companies maintain sensitive, private financial information for their firm and many clients. Engineers at ComputerVault created virtual machines for hosting applications and virtual desktops for each user. They gave each user an Active Directory-authenticated, individual login and password with multi-factor authentication. Users access their virtual desktops either with a web browser or by downloading a soft client that can be installed on any Windows, Linux®, Android, or iOS device.

According to Zarrella, ComputerVault orchestrated cybersecurity within its software-defined perimeter and zero trust security model. “It’s designed to stop malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks,” he explains.
