The technology of desktop virtualization has transformed the IT infrastructures of thousands of enterprises across the globe. Desktop virtualization, whether done on-premise or via a third-party Cloud Service Provider (CSP), entails long-term benefits.

What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)?

Instead of procuring physical desktop computers, you create virtualized instances of Virtual Hosted Desktop over your on-premise data center. Employees can access these Virtual Machines (VMs) from the workplace or their homes, at a time and device of their liking.

Benefits of VDI

Despite the upfront cost of setting up an on-premise data center, Hosted VDI brings along a lot of benefits for the deploying entity. Let’s discuss a few major ones.

Cost Efficiencies

When you have switched over to Hosted VDI, you are utilizing the storage and capacity of your data center instead of individual devices. By doing so, you can extend the lifespan of your otherwise obsolete IT hardware and avoid constant upgrades.

Ease of Management

In Virtual Desktop Azure, any changes you perform to the delivery stack such as updates, patches or new applications have to be done centrally. The effect is passed on to all your VMs due to centralized management. You don’t have to upgrade each physical device in VDI.

The centrality of Enterprise Data

In VDI, all your enterprise data is stored centrally over data center(s) instead of employee devices. This improves data privacy and security. Even if an individual device is lost or malfunctions, you don’t risk losing any critical data in the process.

Instant Backup

In VDI, your enterprise data is converged at a single data center. To further protect this data, constant backups of this data are maintained at physically dispersed locations. In case of any contingency, data can be restored immediately due to a robust backup mechanism.
