Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is still a relatively new technology. Most people are either unaware or have only a brief idea about this emerging technology. This Slide share will provide your 12 points which you must know before implementing VDI Technology in your business.

1. 12 Things You
Must Know About
VDI

2. VIRTUAL DESKTOP INFRASTRUCTURE
Many businesses are thinking of adopting the VDI technology to cut down
on recurring hardware costs and prevent IT-related issues.
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is virtualization technology
that hosts a desktop operating system on a centralized server in a
data center.

3. HOW VDI WORKS?

4. Over 75% organizations
utilize some form of
virtualization. Some firms
even report that they have
virtualized or plan to vitualize
90% of their servers.

SO, LETS SEE
12 THINGS
YOU MUST
KNOW
ABOUT VDI

5. 1) WORK FROM ANYWHERE
VDI enables the employees to work from
any place according to their own
convenience. They can also choose their
own working hours for maximum
efficiency.
It makes working easy as users can
access desktops from a remote location
compared to on-premise local desktop.
American Express reported
that their annual savings
increased from $10 million to
$15 million. Thanks to its
remote work options!

6. 2) VIRTUAL DESKTOP POOLS
Virtual Desktop Pool is a group of virtual
desktops with the same configuration. It is very
easy to configure desktop settings and
centralize management by pooling virtual
desktops.
For instance, if you want your desktops to
upgrade to the latest version, you can apply
the update to all virtual desktops in the pool at
once.

7. 3) BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a general
term for organizations that allow employees to
use personal device to complete the office
work.
VDI provides employees a secure and
controlled desktop environment on their device
to access data virtually form anywhere.
The BYOD market is on target
to reach nearly $367 billion by
2022, up from just $30 billion in
2014.

8. 4) RESOURCE
OVERALLOCATION
With VDI, virtual desktops can utilize the
server resources of other desktops if they are
not using the total resources allocated to them
because of resource sharing.
For instance, if server has 128 GB RAM
hosting 8 desktops, each desktop having 16
GB RAM. Once a desktop utilizes its 16 GB
RAM, then it can utilize the unused RAM of
other desktops.
American Express reported
that their annual savings of $10
million to $15 million thanks to
its remote work options.

9. 5) COST SAVING
VDI not only saves your time but also saves
money by less consumption of power and
storage. It ensures less use of hardware by
creating multiple virtual desktops on the
cloud.
It reduces the cost involved in maintaining
and updating equipment. Upgrades and
updates can be made on parent desktop and
pushed to the entire network.
On average, SMBs spend 6.9%
of their revenue on IT.

10. 6) GRAPHICS OF VDI HAVE
IMPROVED
Gone are days when the graphics of VDI
were an issue. The graphics offered by VDI
are better than ever and are still improving.
There are platforms and protocol provided by
VDI for right quality of image and videos for
the users.
American Express reported
that their annual savings of $10
million to $15 million thanks to
its remote work options.

11. 7) IMPROVES SECURITY
In VDI, all the sensitive data and files are
stored at one central location which is
password protected.
Hosted virtual desktops providers deploy
security measures like multi-factor
authentication, data encryption, Intrusion
Detection and Prevention System (IDS
and IPS) as an additional security layer
to safeguard the data.
In 2016, people reported 82,000
Ransomware attacks. That figure
increased to 1,59,700 in 2017.

12. 8) HIGH SCALIBILITY OF
DEVICES
The traditional devices come with specific
set of specifications like RAM, storage,
processor, etc. VDI can scale such
computing resources as per the
requirements.
For instance, if you want to increase
desktop storage from 40 GB to 100 GB
then there is no need to replace or buy
new hardware.

13. 9) EASY PROVISIONING OF
DESKTOPS
Provisioning of new desktop involves lots
of problems like assigning physical space,
installing operating system, software
permissions, which, in turn, increases IT
expenses for a business.
But with VDI, it is easy to add or delete
virtual desktops with the help of
management portal where desktops can be
added, viewed, and managed easily.
Employees spend 30 minutes
per week trying to fix PC
problems or helping a co-
worker.

14. 10) BETTER GREEN PROFILE
Traditional desktops consume a lot of
power, generate lots of heat and noise.
VDI assures immediate results by significant
saving on energy bills. It also reduces the
number of hardware equipment used in the
company.
This one step can reduce the organization's
carbon footprint and help to give your
contribution towards environment.

15. 11) INSTANT BACKUP
Traditionally, data files and software
were locally saved on some machine or
on server located on LAN. This approach
left data exposed to potential loss and
cyber threat.
Hosted VDI providers take regular
backup of the data files. This reduces the
chance of data loss due to machine
failure or any natural disaster.
58 percent of small businesses
not prepared for data loss.

16. 12) VDI VS HOSTED VDI
According to Techgnix, by 2023, the value of
the global cloud-based VDI may exceed $10
billion.
Hosted VDI also known as DaaS, is a virtual
desktop hosting service where user's desktop is
virtualized on cloud service provider's data
servers. Essentially, a DaaS provider builds a
huge VDI environment and rents virtual
desktops out to customers.
