Desktop and Application Virtualization 101: Understanding VDI and DaaS
Increased demand for remote work has solidified the need to deliver a hybrid workplace as the new normal, making desktop and app virtualization more critical than ever.
Why?
Read this infographic on to learn about the fundamentals of desktop and app virtualization and deployment options available to help your organization.
What is Desktop and Application Virtualization?
Desktop and application virtualization is a software technology that centrally hosts virtual desktops and applications in a data center or cloud. This allows users to securely access resources from any remotely connected device. With the rise of remote work, this technology has become increasingly important for organizations looking to adapt to a hybrid workplace.
How do VDI and DaaS differ?
VDI refers to the use of virtual machines to provide and manage virtual desktops, where organizations handle management responsibilities such as desktop management and operating system licenses. In contrast, DaaS is a cloud service where a provider delivers virtual desktops over the internet, taking care of the underlying infrastructure and maintenance. The choice between VDI and DaaS often depends on how much control an organization wants over its virtual environment.
What are the benefits of virtualizing desktops and applications?
Virtualizing desktops and applications provides several benefits, including increased flexibility to meet fluctuating remote work demands, enhanced data security by centralizing resources, simplified management processes, and improved productivity by delivering desktops and applications to any device. Additionally, organizations can achieve cost savings by reducing capital expenditures through cloud transitions and intelligent management services.
