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.
Unedited: sign in, spin up a workstation, and connect. About a minute, in a browser tab.

Where Canvex earns its keep
Four shapes of work that aren't fun on a laptop and aren't worth a real on-prem VDI deployment either.
Remote development
Cloud workstations with your team's tools, accessible from any browser. Persistent storage, snapshots, and idle-pause to cut the bill.
GPU workstations
Real NVIDIA and Intel GPUs. CAD, EDA, ML inference, 3D rendering — streamed to a browser tab from a machine that actually has a GPU in it.
Contractor access
Spin up an isolated workstation, send the URL, delete when the engagement ends. Per-tenant network isolation, full audit, no VPN into your corp.
Regulated workloads
Session recording, DLP watermarking, IP allowlisting, and full audit logs for teams that have to prove who did what, when, on which workstation.
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
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.
