Kasm Technologies and SteelDome Partner to Deliver Rapid, Scalable Secure Workspaces
Through its partnership with SteelDome, Kasm Technologies enables enterprises, managed service providers, operational technology environments, and government organizations to deploy secure, scalable virtual workspaces faster and with far less infrastructure complexity.
About the Partnership
This integrated solution combines Kasm Workspaces, the modern platform for containerized desktop, application, and browser streaming, with SteelDome’s StratiSYSTEM, a modular infrastructure operating system that enables organizations to rapidly deploy high-performance, highly available infrastructure services on hardware of their choice. Together, Kasm and SteelDome help customers launch secure workspace environments quickly while creating a scalable, resilient foundation for long-term growth.
- Kasm Workspaces: A container-native platform for delivering secure desktops, applications, browsers, and remote access sessions through the web.
- SteelDome StratiSYSTEM OS: A modular, hardware-agnostic infrastructure operating system that rapidly activates the compute, storage, and virtualization services needed to support high-performance, highly available Kasm environments at any scale.
Joint Solution Benefits
Rapid Time to Value with Simplified Deployment
Kasm on SteelDome enables organizations to deploy secure, production-ready workspace environments in minutes rather than weeks, while also creating a stronger long-term infrastructure position. By eliminating manual configuration, complex integration steps, and infrastructure-heavy deployment models, the solution reduces operational burden on day one. Over time, it helps organizations simplify lifecycle management, improve performance and availability, strengthen resilience, avoid disruptive re-platforming, and maintain greater control over cost, scale, and architecture.
Flexible, Modular Architecture
Kasm and SteelDome provide a practical modernization path for organizations replacing legacy VDI, transitioning from incumbent hypervisors, or building secure workspace environments from the ground up. The value is not limited to faster deployment. Each stage helps customers reduce operational complexity, improve resilience, preserve hardware choice, and build a high-performance, highly available foundation they can scale over time without repeated re-architecture.
STEP 1 - Pilot
Pilot — no commitment required
Modernize the infrastructure layer on your timeline
Deploy Kasm with SteelDome. The goal is to see the efficiency of the deployment and prove that browser-delivered workspaces work for your users before touching your existing infrastructure.
Kasm Workspaces
- Install via SteelDome’s StratiSYSTEM OS
- Stream desktops & apps to any browser, no client install
- Connect your existing SSO (SAML, LDAP, OIDC)
- Test with a small user group — 10 to 50 seats
SteelDome
- SteelDome provides the software to deploy on existing server assets
- Deploys on as small as a single node and can scale to rack-scale
What you prove
Kasm and SteelDome validate your success criteria for usability, use cases, and business outcomes.
STEP 2 - Foundation
Foundation — establish the modern platform
Modernize the infrastructure layer on your timeline
Deploy SteelDome’s StratiSYSTEM on existing or new commodity x86 hardware and begin shifting workspace infrastructure onto a modular, high-performance, highly available foundation. For some customers, this means replacing a hypervisor or storage platform outright. For others, it means running a phased transition alongside existing infrastructure while new workloads and user groups move first.
Kasm Workspaces
- Re-deploys in the same operational model
- Users keep the same browser-based experience
- Workspace images remain portable and easy to manage
SteelDome
- StratiSERV provides the compute layer for VMs and containers with high-performance, highly available operation
- StratiSTOR provides unified block, file, and object storage with flexible scale-out
- Runs on existing and new x86 hardware without forcing a refresh cycle or vendor lock-in
WHAT YOU GAIN
A modern foundation for phased migration, lower infrastructure cost, and simpler long-term operations
STEP 3 - Protect
Protect — add data resilience before you scale
Harden your data layer with immutable protection
Before expanding user count or workload types, lock down your data protection posture. This is the step most organizations skip — and regret after a ransomware event.
Kasm Workspaces
- Session recording and audit logging enabled
- Data loss prevention (DLP) controls: restrict uploads, downloads, clipboard, printing
- Workspaces are ephemeral by default — sessions leave no data on endpoints
SteelDome
- Native immutable backup and recovery protection that ransomware cannot overwrite or encrypt
- Replication across sites or to the cloud for resilient recovery options
- Recovery tested in minutes, not hours
What you gain
Ransomware-resistant infrastructure + zero endpoint data exposure
STEP 4 - Scale
Scale — expand users, workloads, and locations
Grow without re-architecting
Add users, deploy additional workspace types, bring in AI workloads, or extend to remote offices and edge locations. Both platforms scale independently — you add what you need, when you need it.
Kasm Workspaces
- Add workspace types: secure browsers, app streaming, Linux or Windows desktops
- Multi-zone deployment for geographic distribution
- Auto-scaling to handle peak loads without manual provisioning
SteelDome
- Scale compute and storage independently without disruptive migration events
- Add nodes incrementally while keeping the environment online
- Start single-node, scale to clusters or superclusters on the same platform
- Mixed hardware generations in the same cluster
What you avoid
Forklift upgrades and capacity planning guesswork data migrations
STEP 5 - Optimize
Optimize — full sovereign stack, fully owned
Operate a vendor-independent, fully controlled environment
At full build-out, your organization runs a complete workspace delivery and infrastructure stack with greater control over cost, architecture, security posture, and lifecycle planning, without dependence on hyperscaler economics or restrictive infrastructure licensing models.
Kasm Workspaces
- Zero-trust workspace delivery to any device, anywhere
- Full audit trail, DLP, session recording, and watermarking
- Air-gapped deployment capable for classified or regulated environments
SteelDome
- Sovereign, hardware-agnostic infrastructure — your hardware, your data center, your rules
- High-performance, highly available compute, storage, & virtualization in one modular platform for any scale
- No vendor audit risk, no forced subscription renewal, no lock-in
End state
Full ownership of the workspace and infrastructure stack with stronger security, simpler operations, lower renewal risk, and the flexibility to scale without lock-in.
Strong Fit for MSPs and Multi-Environment Deployments
Kasm and SteelDome provide a powerful solution for MSPs and partners who need to deploy secure environments quickly and consistently across multiple customers. Together, the solution enables repeatable, modular delivery of secure workspaces on a flexible, hardware-agnostic infrastructure foundation, making it easier to support diverse customer environments with a unified operational model.
OT and Critical Infrastructure Readiness
Kasm and SteelDome enable organizations to rapidly deploy secure environments for OT and critical infrastructure use cases without the operational complexity of traditional solutions. This approach gives teams the controls they need to solve production-grade problems on a high-performance, highly available foundation without putting security or usability at risk.
Secure, Modern Workspace Delivery
Kasm's zero-trust, containerized workspace delivery combined with SteelDome’s modular, high-performance, hardware-agnostic infrastructure operating model enables organizations to reduce endpoint exposure and modernize secure remote access without inheriting the cost and rigidity of legacy VDI.
Leadership Perspectives
