Deliver Secure Zero Trust Windows Desktops & Apps on Scale Computing HyperCore™ Virtualization Suite

SC//HyperCore™ virtualization suite provides self-healing hyperconverged infrastructure. TruGrid SecureRDP adds a dedicated Zero Trust access layer with cloud-based pre-authentication and enforced MFA. Together, they create a secure, scalable architecture purpose-built for MSPs and distributed environments. A modern alternative to complex VDI stacks built on VPNs and legacy gateway infrastructure.

Combine SC//HyperCore virtualization suite with TruGrid SecureRDP to deliver resilient Windows workloads with VPN-free, MFA-enforced remote access — without exposing RDP to the internet.

A Modern Two-Tier Architecture for Secure Windows Delivery

Traditional Windows remote access stacks rely on VPNs, RD Gateways, reverse proxies, and exposed firewall rules. This increases complexity and expands the attack surface.

The combined SC//HyperCore virtualization suite + TruGrid SecureRDP architecture separates infrastructure from access control:

SC//HyperCore virtualization suite provides resilient HCI for Windows VMs and RDS workloads.

TruGrid SecureRDP provides Zero Trust remote access with no inbound RDP exposure.

Capability Alignment Matrix

The matrix below outlines how each platform contributes to the overall solution architecture.

SC//HyperCore™ + TruGrid SecureRDP
A Complementary Architecture — Secure Infrastructure Meets Zero Trust Access
SC//HyperCore™ provides the resilient infrastructure foundation — hyperconverged compute, storage, and virtualization. TruGrid SecureRDP delivers the Zero Trust access layer that brokers secure connections to those workloads. Neither replaces the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. When combined with TruGrid SecureRDP, remote access does not require a VPN, RD Gateway, or exposed firewall ports. TruGrid provides cloud-based Zero Trust pre-authentication and enforces MFA before any RDP session is established.

No. The combined architecture eliminates inbound RDP exposure. TruGrid SecureRDP uses outbound encrypted HTTPS connections through the TruGrid Sentry, preventing direct internet-facing RDP endpoints.

Authentication and MFA enforcement are handled by TruGrid SecureRDP at the access layer. Users are authenticated in the cloud before any session reaches the SC//HyperCore™ cluster.

Yes. TruGrid SecureRDP supports a multi-tenant MSP management model, while SC//HyperCore™ enables cluster deployment across distributed and branch locations. Together, they provide centralized management across sites and tenants.

This architecture simplifies the infrastructure required to securely deliver Windows desktops and applications. Instead of relying on VPNs, RD Gateways, reverse proxies, and complex access layers, TruGrid SecureRDP provides Zero Trust access directly to Windows workloads running on SC//HyperCore™.

SC//HyperCore™ supports zero-touch provisioning and simplified cluster deployment. TruGrid SecureRDP onboarding is typically completed within one day for the most basic implementations, enabling secure remote access without infrastructure redesign.
