Background of the spread of VDI as a desktop environment

The virtual desktop is a user interface that allows users to interact with desktop OS and applications in a virtual environment hosted on a remote server. This virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, first appeared about 20 years ago and allows users to easily access desktops and applications from any device with an Internet connection. It has been supported by many companies as an innovative and attractive solution.

The value that VDI can provide can be broadly divided into three areas: centralized management, secure access, and consistent user experience. However, recently, PC specifications have improved, business applications, primarily SaaS, are increasingly being moved to the cloud, and the use of tablets and smartphones for business purposes has accelerated, leading to the spread of new environments. In fact, there are many cases where traditional VDI is not suited to dealing with these new environments.

Why new technologies are needed to replace VDI environments

VDI offers many benefits, but as you know, it is a relatively expensive solution and requires a fair amount of indirect costs when you consider the infrastructure and management costs required. It also places a heavy burden on end users in terms of infrastructure requirements, which require a large-scale server infrastructure, management screens to manage and maintain the platform that runs VDI, login delays, session interruptions, performance degradation, and compatibility issues.
