What is VDI?
There are many reasons why businesses are taking tim?e to embrace VDI. To begin with, the concept of VDI itself remains complex for most users and there are several client options to choose from for implementing virtual desktops today. This makes it time-consuming and challenging for businesses to match the right VDI solution to their unique needs.
Moreover, organizations are constantly exploring new and innovative options for delivering applications to growing mobile user communities at minimal cost. In such scenarios, businesses are yet to realize the potential of VDI technology in simplifying desktop implementation and management for every use case. Hence, they continue investing resources in traditional desktop management which spikes provisioning and supporting costs. This takes a significant chunk out of their total IT infrastructure budget.
Some companies also question VDI’s ability to do more with less in an IT environment characterized by a distributed workforce. They consider VDI as a one-size-fits-all solution and this often leads to poor desktop virtualization planning which discourages other businesses from moving to VDI technology.
For example, when considering different VDI endpoint options, businesses may select the latest, fastest and resource-intensive configuration without defining their staff’s current and desired usage beforehand. This could result in higher costs and lead to the assumption that desktop virtualization technology is expensive.

“We worked with a global bank, which was previously outsourcing its Citrix VDI and running it on three-tier infrastructure, and it was expensive and not working very well,” Kaplan notes. “Moving to HCI slashed their costs.”The cloud-like scalability of HCI provides a path for more companies to place individual workloads where they make the most sense.
