Discover the transformative potential of Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) for modern workplaces. VDI offers remote access to full desktop environments from anywhere, enabling flexible hardware combinations and centralized management of applications and data. Key benefits include secure software updates, simplified support, and optimized resource management on shared servers. However, challenges persist, such as high costs and the complexities of implementation. As organizations strive for efficient computing solutions, VDI presents an opportunity to enhance productivity while minimizing management costs.

Centralized applications and data • Safe, secure software updates • Simplified support • Quick, complete recovery • Dynamic resource management • User isolation (login accounts) • Desktop access control (user/group control access) • Minimize management, support, downtime costs • Desktop image library Advantages
Performance • Rich content, media, music • Bandwidth congestion • Hardware compatibility • Cost • Hardware • Thin clients or other devices • Implementation • Licensing • Expansion of existing virtualization infrastructure Challenges
Fixed-purpose computing environments • Call centers • Point-of-sale • Hospitals • School Target market
November 2008, Forrester Research Report estimates cost: • Thin client • Server • Storage • Licenses • OS • Applications =$1760 • 5 months later, Forrester Research Report estimates cost dropped by half • "Desktop virtualization is a lot like hybrid cars. No one disputes the value and they love the idea, but it is just too expensive to write a check and pay a lot when the traditional version is cheaper and already paid for,“ - Mark Margevicius (Gartner Research) Industry Trends
