Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) works best for smaller centrally located user bases that share a core set of application and file needs. As the world moves to the web and the cloud, is VDI still a good fit for emerging mobility and BYOD needs?
WHERE VDI WORKS
LIMITED USER NEEDS
WHERE VDI IS LIMITED
DOESN’T SERVE DIVERSE USER NEEDS
SMALLER USER BASES
DOESN'T EASILY SCALE FOR LARGER USER BASES
VDI CHALLENGES
UNHAPPY USERS
A WORLD BEYOND WINDOWS®
Consumerization drives big expectations around user experience – VDI can't keep up.
If schools decide to move toward the cloud and web and away from Windows, VDI becomes less relevant.
SPENDING MORE TO SAVE
NETWORK BANDWIDTH AND LATENCY
Speed matters, especially for remote users, and VDI falls behind.
Capex to stand up/extend VDI is huge – with more spending needed down the road.
