V2 Cloud
V2 Cloud is a virtual cloud computing platform that enables organizations to securely deliver workstations and all of the computing resources associated with them, such as files and databases, business applications of any kind, and servers of any kind including Linux, to users anywhere in the world. While V2 Cloud is often described as Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), it goes well beyond virtual desktops: it's a complete cloud computing environment that brings desktops, applications, data, and servers together in one managed platform.
Unlike traditional VDI solutions that require significant IT resources and specialized infrastructure expertise, V2 Cloud provides an intuitive, managed platform that can be deployed in minutes. Organizations can centralize computing resources, improve security, simplify IT operations, and support remote, hybrid, branch, and distributed workforces without investing in on-premise infrastructure.
