Cloud workstations / without the legacy stack

A workstation,not an infrastructure project.

Skip the six-week legacy-VDI rollout. Linux and Windows workstations with real NVIDIA and Intel GPUs, ready in a browser tab. No broker, no AD migration, no six-figure consultant.

3-day free trial. No charge until it ends.

Modern VDI

Without the legacy tax.

Brokers, gateways, licensing servers, endpoint clients, three-year contracts. The reasons "VDI project" became a slur. Canvex doesn't ship any of them.

Legacy VDI

  • Endpoint client
  • Broker
  • Gateway
  • Profile manager
  • Licensing server

Canvex

Hosted control plane + regional compute

One stack. One upgrade path. One thing to monitor. Per-tenant network isolation enforced at the hypervisor, not by a five-tier proxy chain.

One stack, not five tiers

Legacy VDI ships brokers, gateways, licensing servers, profile managers, and endpoint clients — every tier its own attack surface and its own upgrade cycle. Canvex is a single hosted control plane plus regional compute.

Browser-native, no agents

Anything with a browser is a thin client. No specialized software to deploy, patch, or push policies to across thousands of endpoints. RDP optional for power users who want native clients.

Pay for what you run

No three-year commits, no overcommit-the-cluster math, no per-seat audits. Daily compute meter on running workstations, monthly platform fee. Cancel by closing the tab.

Scales by container, not capex

Spin a workstation up in seconds, tear it down when the session ends, snapshot before risky changes. No procurement cycle to grow capacity, no idle hardware to apologize for at the next QBR.

The bits that matter

Six features that explain why Canvex exists. The full list lives on /pricing.

Browser-streamed workstations

Linux or Windows in a browser tab. Clipboard, audio, file transfer, and printing work out of the box. Open it on a Chromebook, an iPad, or your laptop.

Direct RDP connect

Skip the browser when you want to. Download a connection file from the dashboard and use any standard RDP client. Drive redirection and audio included.

Real GPUsBusiness+

NVIDIA and Intel: passthrough, shared, or vGPU. For ML inference, CAD, EDA, 3D rendering — not a software rasterizer pretending to be a GPU.

Multi-region routing

Workstations auto-deploy to the closest region. Real-time latency checks from the browser pick the fastest one. <50ms typical from most US cities.

Corporate network accessBusiness+

Tunnel a workstation into your office network with WireGuard, OpenConnect, OpenVPN, or SSH. Transparent routing — no client config inside the guest.

Built for complianceEnterprise

SAML/OIDC SSO, SCIM, session recording, watermarking, IP allowlisting, audit logs. The boxes Procurement makes you tick, already ticked.

Your first workstation, in 5 minutes.

3-day free trial. Cancel anytime before it ends.
