Desktop Virtualization

Desktop virtualization and its advantages

A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) offers several advantages that many companies are already leveraged across all industries. At this point, we would like to give you a brief overview of the benefits of desktop virtualization:

• Easy administration from a central data center Many companies operate their entire server and client infrastructure in a data center to achieve higher availability and flexibility. Software changes and updates can be easily made available company-wide while flexibly responding to new performance requirements.
• Easy provisioning of resources for all users Usually, thin or zero clients are available to users who access the user VM via a remote client. The desktops or systems remain completely customizable and offer significantly higher performance than conventional desktop hardware.
• Cost-efficient operation By consolidating all resources, maintenance and energy costs can be reduced effectively. The workstations provided to users are practically maintenance-free.
• Special IDs and permissions for different users Not all users need all permissions - desktop virtualization gives each user a specific image of the operating system they can work with. This ensures that each employee has exactly the resources they need for their work.

Desktop virtualization: application virtualization for work on specific projects

Access via remote desktop is not always useful or welcome. External employees or employees who temporarily take over tasks often only need a special program.  With application virtualization, you can provide just the resources your users need for their jobs.

With this type of virtualization, one or more applications are made available so that no separate installation is required on the user workstation. The application is integrated directly into the user desktop from the host via a remote client.

In contrast to desktop virtualization, this virtualization type requires fewer hardware resources as the host does not have to provide a complete desktop. Additional advantages are a better user experience when working simultaneously with local and remote apps and the security that no dependencies/conflicts can occur due to the isolated operation of the client system's applications.
