IT Vortex partners with the most trusted names in enterprise technology. Every vendor in our stack earns its place by powering our own production environment before we recommend it to a client. The result is a portfolio of platforms we know cold, deployed the same way on both sides of the wire.
A disciplined approach to vendor selection that benefits both our cloud and yours. Partners are operational dependencies, not logo decoration.
We start with engineering requirements, not vendor pitches. Each platform is evaluated against availability, security, scale, and economics before any commercial conversation begins.
Every partner runs in our own production stack first. Our team operates these platforms at scale, day in and day out, before any client carries our recommendation into their environment.
We architect, deploy, and manage what we already operate. Our certified engineers transfer hard-won operational knowledge directly into your environment, not theory from a slide deck.
We pressure-test partnerships against new options as the market evolves. When licensing models shift or better technology emerges, we engineer migration paths rather than locking clients into yesterday's decisions.
The foundational platforms that power our cloud and shape how we deliver every service. These are the five we live in, every day.
The hypervisors, hyperconverged fabrics, and compute hardware that make a multi-tenant cloud actually run.
The substrate underneath every workload we host. We have been a VMware service provider for more than a decade, and our Premier VCSP status puts us in the top tier of Broadcom's worldwide cloud services partner program. Our engineers have lived through every major release from vSphere 5 to VMware Cloud Foundation, and we operate the same platform we license, deploy, and migrate clients onto.
The entire multi-tenant cloud runs on VMware:
Clients consume VMware four ways, depending on what they want to own:
The right answer when clients want hyperconverged simplicity, an alternative path away from Broadcom-era VMware licensing, or workloads that benefit from native AHV virtualization. We invested early in Nutanix expertise so we could give clients a credible second option rather than locking them into a single virtualization stack.
We maintain a Nutanix engineering practice to support client deployments:
Where clients have chosen Nutanix or want to evaluate the move, we deliver:
Where private cloud economics break down and pure hyperscale makes sense, AWS is the destination. We use AWS in our own architecture and design hybrid bridges that let clients consume both without rebuilding everything they own.
AWS sits alongside our private cloud for specific workloads:
For clients with hybrid requirements:
The physical hardware that makes our cloud a real thing rather than a marketing diagram. We standardized on Dell more than a decade ago because the combination of PowerEdge reliability, PowerStore array performance, and an enterprise support relationship we can actually escalate matters operationally.
Dell hardware physically runs the cloud platform:
For client on-prem and hybrid footprints, we deliver:
No single vendor covers everything. Our security stack is built from best-of-breed partners we operate together every day, with the integration work already done.
The Fortinet Security Fabric is the connective tissue of our security architecture. We run a complete FortiGate environment in our own perimeter, our engineers carry NSE certifications, and we deploy the same fabric in client environments with policy and visibility federated back to our SOC.
A full-stack Fortinet Security Fabric protects our cloud:
For SECaaS clients and managed deployments we deliver:
CrowdStrike Falcon is the EDR/XDR layer on every endpoint we manage. We deployed Falcon on our own infrastructure first because the platform's threat hunting and identity protection capabilities materially changed how quickly we can contain an incident, and we have not looked back.
Falcon protects everything we operate:
Clients consume CrowdStrike through our managed practice:
Email remains the most common initial access vector in real-world incidents, which is why we run Proofpoint on every mailbox we manage, starting with our own. The platform's threat intelligence and insider threat capabilities (now folding in the former ObserveIT product line) cover both inbound risk and outbound data movement.
Proofpoint defends our own mail flow:
For client mail security we deliver:
Cisco Duo is how we put a meaningful gate in front of administrative access, both ours and yours. We adopted Duo years ago for our own engineering team and standardized on it for client MFA wherever federation flexibility and device trust matter more than ecosystem lock-in.
Duo wraps everything administrative:
Duo deployments for client identity:
You cannot patch what you cannot see. Tenable is the platform we use to keep our own attack surface mapped and prioritized, and the same tooling powers the vulnerability management service we deliver to clients who need continuous visibility rather than annual snapshots.
Tenable runs continuously against our infrastructure:
Managed vulnerability services for clients:
Annual pen tests miss what changes the day after the report is delivered. NodeZero by Horizon3.ai lets us run continuous, authenticated attack-path analysis against environments and prove where real risk lives, rather than where a scanner thinks risk might live.
NodeZero runs on our own attack surface:
Pen testing as a continuous service for clients:
The platforms behind our BaaS and DRaaS practices, and the storage tiers that keep recovery economically practical.
Veeam is the engine behind both our BaaS and DRaaS offerings. We have run Veeam Backup & Replication in production for more than a decade, our engineers are VMCE-certified, and the same platform powering tens of thousands of protected VMs for clients is the same one protecting our own infrastructure.
Veeam runs as the data protection backbone:
Multiple consumption models for client data protection:
S3-compatible storage at a price point that makes long-term retention economical. We use Wasabi as a tier in our own data protection stack, and we layer it into client backup architectures wherever predictable, egress-free retention beats hyperscaler bills.
Wasabi serves as our retention tier:
Client object storage architectures:
The DaaS platform and endpoint ecosystem we operate to deliver Windows desktops, published apps, and graphics-intensive workloads at scale.
The former VMware EUC business, now an independent company. Omnissa Horizon is the engine of our Desktop as a Service practice, and Workspace ONE is what gives our managed-device clients a single identity and policy fabric across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Horizon powers our DaaS platform:
Three tiers of desktop delivery for clients:
IGEL OS turns almost any x86 device into a managed, secure, read-only thin client. We use it on our engineering bench, and we deploy it as the access layer for DaaS clients who want to repurpose existing hardware rather than buying new endpoints.
IGEL OS in our own workspace:
Endpoint strategy for client DaaS rollouts:
When clients want purpose-built hardware rather than repurposed PCs, 10ZiG delivers thin and zero clients optimized for Horizon, Citrix, and Azure Virtual Desktop. We resell, configure, and ship.
10ZiG endpoints in our test labs for DaaS protocol validation against Horizon, Citrix, and AVD environments.
Greenfield endpoint deployments:
The supporting ecosystem that rounds out the platform. Each vendor here has earned its spot in our delivery model, with internal use and client deployment paths defined.
