Hydra by Login VSI: Accelerating into the Future of AVD and Windows 365 Management

July 16, 2025

Since being acquired by Login VSI, Hydra is rapidly evolving from a powerful, under-the-radar AVD management solution into a globally recognized force for cost-efficient, streamlined Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) orchestration and management for enterprises and MSPs.

With more than 150 paying customers and over 500 organizations worldwide already relying on Hydra to manage and optimize their AVD environments, the momentum is rapidly growing.

Hydra is designed to challenge the complexity, opacity, and increasing costs of traditional AVD solutions. MSPs, VARs, and IT leaders have been requesting something different. Something leaner, more intuitive, and designed with partners in mind. And Hydra delivers. Now, under the Login VSI umbrella, it’s entering a new era of innovation and growth.

Growth by the Numbers

Hydra’s impact is being felt across industries and geographies. With the expected revenue growth exceeding 300% in 2025, it’s clear that demand for a smarter and more flexible way to deploy and manage AVD is skyrocketing. Organizations are increasingly seeking solutions that provide visibility and control, without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

Organizations adopt Hydra for many reasons, but the core benefits remain consistent:

• Advanced auto-scaling, usage optimization, and streamlined image management help optimize AVD costs.
• It’s intuitive and easy to deploy, with zero unnecessary complexity.
• Real-time session monitoring empowers helpdesk teams to act before issues become outages.
• Hydra scales with you, whether supporting a handful of remote workers or thousands of virtual desktops
• A flexible concurrent user pricing model that, with an annual contract, can include free bursting periods.
• Having access to Login VSI’s world class enterprise support and services — the same trusted by the world’s three largest banks.

When paired with Login Enterprise, Hydra offers a full-stack solution for end-user computing teams looking to move faster and make smarter decisions.

“Hydra is everything AVD management should be simple, scalable, and focused on what matters most. We’re building a robust set of solutions for end user computing professionals and focused on being a significant ISV in the Microsoft ecosystem.” — John Vigeant, CEO of Login VSI

Rapid Product Advancements Already Underway

Rapid release cycles for Hydra continue to roll out every few weeks, with a robust 12-month product plan available for interested customers or partners.

Looking ahead, Hydra will deliver even more value as a desired management platform for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. Key developments coming soon include:

• Azure Local, supported today, will be further extended with improved imaging capabilities.

Enterprise-Grade Support with a Partner-First Approach

One of the cornerstones of Hydra’s success is the strength of Login VSI’s global support infrastructure. Hydra is backed by Login VSI’s enterprise-grade global support team, giving customers and partners access to expert help whenever and wherever they need it.

This support model brings Hydra to the same level of service excellence that global enterprises already experience from Login Enterprise.

At the same time, the partner-first DNA that made Hydra attractive initially hasn’t changed. From bringing customers choice, reseller-friendly pricing to SPIFFs and launch promotions. Hydra is one of the most partner-aligned end user computing solutions on the market.

A Vision Backed by Leadership

Login VSI recently welcomed Marcel Meurer as VP of Azure Solutions, reporting directly to our CEO. Marcel is a longtime Microsoft MVP and well-known thought leader in the Azure Community. He brings with him many years of real-world experience in enterprise cloud architecture, automation, and modernization.

This addition highlights Hydra’s strategic role in Login VSI’s product vision. With Marcel helping to shape the roadmap, customers can look forward to rapid product improvements and deeper integration with the wider Microsoft ecosystem.
