Research and Markets: Lowering the Barriers to VDI Adoption
DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5wp7bg/lowering_the)
has announced the addition of the "Lowering
the Barriers to VDI Adoption" report to their offering.
In this SPIE, there is an examination of the design elements included in
the desktop virtualization products offered by Virtual Bridges, and how
those elements address questions about VDI adoption.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) professes several appealing
attributes relative to traditional physical desktops. Among the most
appealing are:
-
Lessen Management Burdens - Rather than managing dispersed hardware
(i.e., client devices) and their individually assigned desktops
(operating system, applications, profiles, and files), IT-standardized
virtual desktops are managed centrally and hosted in one or more data
centers. Instead of provisioning an managing individual client
devices, IT focuses more on managing and hardening the desktop-hosting
environment and the virtual desktops.
-
With the desktop-hosting environment within its constant and direct
control, break-fix desktop management issues associated with
traditional physical desktops are lessened. Moreover, if the virtual
desktop becomes corrupted in-session, the golden image (OS,
applications, and profile) restores a pristine version in the next
session.
-
Reduce Data Loss Risk - With the virtual desktops hosted in
IT-controlled environments, and only pixels of the virtual desktops
appearing on client devices, the surface exposure of data loss is less
than traditional desktops where the data resides in the client
hardware. Also with VDI, the cost of a lost or stolen laptop, tablet,
or smartphone is limited to the replacement cost of the device and the
end user's lost productivity until a suitable client device becomes
available. In this scenario, the soft but nevertheless material data
breach costs (e.g., assessing the magnitude of data loss, informing
and compensating affected parties, dealing with public fallout, and
potentially paying data breach fines) are not as prevalent, since no
data is out in the wild. Sensitive data never physically leaves the
confines of the IT-controlled data centers.
-
Support Prevailing Consumerization Information Technology Trends -
Considering that the desktop in server-hosted VDI is similar to an
app, albeit a super-sized app, the common tap-to-use app motion from
any device, including end users' owned devices (i.e., BYOD), over any
network, is supported.
