For most CIOs and IT managers, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) isn\u2019t a new concept. In fact, many of them have dismissed it more than once amid concerns such as ROI, security and user experience.
\nBut it\u2019s time to take a fresh look at VDI because a slew of new technologies have eliminated its biggest drawbacks \u2013 real and perceived. As a result, VDI \u2013 also known as end-user computing and desktop as a service \u2013 is now capable of addressing three of enterprise IT\u2019s biggest costs and headaches.
\nManagement scalability: Today, as the number of desktops in an organization grows, so does the amount of staff and other resources required to manage them. VDI breaks that link and makes managing 1,000 desktops as easy as managing 10. This directly benefits the enterprise\u2019s bottom line and competitive position because, for example, IT staff is now freed to focus on revenue-generating tasks.<\/p>\n
