Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has been witnessing a higher adoption in the last few years due to its excellent capabilities like remote access, convenience, security, and more.

That said, gone are those days when employees had no option but to walk into their office to complete the work. Organizations had to spend a fortune on desktops and hardware to enable remote access.

Quick BYOD Implementation

BYOD can be implemented within a business at a much faster rate when virtual desktops are used. If the infrastructure has already been standardized, both hardware and software needs can be met with minimal work after signing off on policies and protocols for the transition.

However, SMB IT departments need to ensure that with the transition to BYOD there is a clear understanding of who owns what hardware, whether it is on-site or off-site, in order for issues such as upgrades and maintenance not to fall through the cracks.

If you’re looking to implement a fast solution for new hires or current employees who want to use their own devices, virtual desktops are an ideal option due to their quick deployment time and their ability to work on existing infrastructure.

Remote Working

Working remotely has become increasingly popular for both SMB’s and large enterprises. Small businesses have the option of working from home to save costs, while larger entities are finding value in having workers telecommute.

Virtual desktops allow users to work from anywhere as long as they have access to the Internet. For example, if an employee is out sick and cannot come into the office, they will still be able to continue working on a virtual desktop.

Cost-efficiency: As all the processing takes place on the server, you require lesser hardware for devices, hence, lower investment

Smoother remote access: VDI enables users to use virtual desktops irrespective of their location or device. As a result, they can access their apps and files easily and work efficiently.

Improved security: VDI software, when implemented correctly, can enhance security by including firewalls, malware apps, vulnerability management software, and more.
