MacStadium Solutions for the Public Sector

If you need static or ephemeral virtual machines for Mac or iOS app development, MacStadium offers flexible and extensible options for virtualizing macOS in the cloud including Orka, VMware, and Anka.

Orka orchestrates macOS in a cloud environment using Kubernetes technology on genuine Apple hardware. Orka is specifically designed for Mac but based on standard cloud orchestration tools so Apple OS development teams can use container technology features just like they do for non-Apple workloads.

VMware is an industry-standard virtualization solution that has been proven and tested in government and large enterprise environments. With a MacStadium private cloud running on VMware, you get access to features like Linked Clones, Instant Clones, and enterprise scalability.

Anka is built for Mac and uses the official macOS hypervisor framework with external registry and controller nodes. It is designed specifically for Mac-based CI workflows, and Anka easily integrates with existing container-based DevOps CI pipelines.

With instant activation, unlimited usage, and 24x7 remote hands support, bare metal Macs from MacStadium are the perfect solution for your Mac compute needs. Each machine is 100% dedicated to your project or team and protected by ISO and SOC certified security practices. Start with one Mac and only pay for what you need right now. As your needs grow, you can easily change, grow, and customize your solution. A variety of Apple hardware is available to meet your needs, from Gen 3 Intel-based minis to the latest ARM-based Apple silicon.

Coming soon from MacStadium, Virtual Command is a patented cloud-based software platform that enables high-performance access to your macOS resources - anytime, anywhere, on any client device.

Virtual Command allows you to access, unify, and manage your user virtual desktop workspaces. With a next-generation web interface, Virtual Command provides access to your hosted Mac environment with multiple connection protocols. Applications can be created to provide users individual dedicated host access or load balancers that provide a pool of dedicated macOS host resources to distribute to users by team or function.

With Virtual Command, users and administrators have the controls they need to enable the use and management of their infrastructure. Administrators can easily track, monitor, and report on user activity and get usage history on-demand. For end-users, Virtual Command allows access to a cloud-based macOS desktop with convenient controls for clipboard, keyboard mapping, window resizing, and seamless authentication.

Leveraging Teradici’s PCoIP technology, Cloud Access delivers high-performance remote desktop experiences from the MacStadium cloud to any device. It uses advanced display compression to provide end-users a convenient alternative to local computers. The technology compresses, encrypts, and transmits only pixels to clients to provide a highly secure enterprise environment. From a user’s perspective, it is no different than working with a local computer.

Cloud Access provides a rich user experience and the flexibility to deliver macOS desktops from the MacStadium cloud to a variety of endpoint devices. Connect directly to a macOS host in the cloud from any PCoIP endpoint including macOS, Windows, Linux, PCoIP Zero, and PCoIP thin clients.
