Performive DaaS / VDI — Now CloudFirst
Performive is now part of CloudFirst
Performive rebranded as CloudFirst and performive.com now resolves to cloudfirst.host. Same company, same team, same portfolio — much of the product collateral still carries the Performive name.
See the current CloudFirst profilePerformive's virtual desktop service continues under CloudFirst — desktops on Omnissa, formerly VMware Horizon, with GPU-backed images where the workload needs them, on the same managed infrastructure that runs backup, DR and security.

Key Features
Rebrand only
Performive is now CloudFirst. The desktop platform, the Omnissa foundation and the engineering team are unchanged.
Omnissa, formerly VMware Horizon
Two name changes overlap here — the vendor platform was renamed from VMware Horizon to Omnissa, and the provider was renamed from Performive to CloudFirst. Documentation referring to either older name is generally still describing your current service.
Any device, any location
Secure access to applications and data from any device, with GPU processors provisioned where workloads such as design or analysis require them.
BYOD with the security built in
Data stays in the environment rather than on the device, and policies such as restricting local copies are enforced centrally.
Packaged, not itemised
Image creation, Windows and VMware licensing administration, control plane maintenance, connectivity, compute and storage, server backup, hosting, VPN and firewall are included in the service.
For existing customers
Worth reviewing image standards and licensing administration through the rebrand — desktop estates accumulate one-off images over time, and consolidation is usually available without extra cost.

Related Services
Managed Cloud Services — VMware
Fully managed VMware-based private and hybrid cloud — provisioning, capacity planning, patching, monitoring, performance tuning, and 24x7 operations are operated by Performive rather than the customer. Workloads migrate as lift-and-shift rather than refactors, and the customer keeps existing VMware tooling and runbooks.
DRaaS — Disaster Recovery as a Service
Productized DRaaS scoped against documented Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) targets — runbook design, regular failover testing, and 24x7 operations during real-incident execution. The model fits organizations whose IT teams need DR confidence without staffing a DR engineering practice.
BUaaS — Backup as a Service / Cloud Backup
Productized Backup as a Service covering on-premises workloads, virtualized infrastructure, and cloud workloads as one consolidated practice. Pairs with Managed Onsite Backup for organizations preserving on-premises backup posture alongside cloud workloads.
Ransomware Recovery
Purpose-built productized practice for recovery from destructive attacks rather than generic restore — covering clean recovery environments, orchestrated workload restoration, and integration with the broader DRaaS and BUaaS portfolio.
