Benefits of Hosted VDI

July 1, 2013 Aerocom

Hosted Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (Hosted VDI) is truly the future of desktop computing for medium- to large-sized businesses. A hosted virtual desktop provides you with fully functional desktop software, but all the software and data storage runs through cloud-based data centers. The transfer of data takes place securely using necessary data encryption to counter unauthorized access. Every user action, from the movement of the mouse to the strokes of the keyboard, is transferred over the network to the data center for processing.

A few of the benefits of a Hosted VDI solution include:

  • High-powered workstation PCs can be replaced with thin-client terminals, which reduce capital investment. These lower-cost thin-client systems also allow for a lower cost of expansion as your company grows and adds staff.
  • The Increased up-time of hosted VDI solutions increases productivity of your staff as less time will need to be dedicated to debugging trouble tickets that commonly arise with standard independent workstations.
  • As a hosted cloud solution, the high level of data redundancy reduces the likelihood of data loss for all users. Because data is stored at managed data centers that typically utilize automated backup systems, data backup is no longer the responsibility of the end user, which increases reliability of backup systems.
  • Utilizing a centralized software solution allows for easier management of global software initiatives such as anti-malware and anti-virus software.
  • In addition, with a hosted VDI solution, the end user will have their global software updated automatically, ensuring that your systems maintain the latest patches and software updates, which increases security on your systems and network.
  • In addition, because all user systems are using the same software, network connectivity issues are reduced as settings can be shared between users.
  • Remote computing is also enhanced through a hosted VDI solution as the end user will be able to utilize the same software in-house and while travelling.

In sum, a hosted VDI solution can provide a very cost effective solution for medium- and large-sized companies looking to maximize employee productivity and efficiently manage a large number of workstations, while still having the flexibility to accommodate future growth.
