Azure VDI Solution has been making waves since it hit the market way back in 2006. That’s when VMware coined the term VDI. The idea was to run a desktop operating system in a virtual machine located in a remote data center. End-users would connect to desktop images via thin clients or fat desktops. Applications and data would remain in the data center. Many of the top Azure VDI Solution benefits originally touted remain key reasons IT departments rely on VDI, whether it’s on-premise or, more likely these days, hosted in the cloud. Here are the top Azure VDI Solution benefits: 1 Gain Control New users can be added or removed with a click of the mouse through Microsoft Active Directory, for instance. IT departments can control who is using what applications. They can also better control application versions, particularly if end-users aren’t given permission to install software on their own device. 2 Drive Cost Savings Some companies that originally looked to VDI for cost savings found that the added storage required in on-premise data centers offset some of the efficiencies gained by not having as many fat clients. But with so many opting for desktop virtualization in the cloud these days, and many using smartphones and other devices to access it, virtual desktop infrastructure has become much more cost-effective. Companies that go the cloud route only pay for what they use and don’t have to maintain the VDI infrastructure. Plus, since they don’t need as much memory or storage on end-user devices, businesses can extend the life of corporate-owned devices and save on hardware purchases. 3 Support Remote Workers The number of remote workers has grown 140% since 2005. That’s 10 times faster than the rest of the workforce. VDI helps the 66% of companies that offer this to their employees do so in a relatively simple fashion.
