Security and data integrity have always been a top concern among IT administrators. With federal regulations and industry compliance standards thrown into the mix, the IT environment is getting tougher to manage. Centralizing IT resources in the cloud with a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) helps to reduce management complexity, improve protection and meet the technology needs of diverse users.

Here are a few considerations as you evaluate VDI…

Secure Access.  With VDI, all of a company’s sensitive data is controlled and protected on a server rather than sitting on unprotected desktops. By establishing proper access to critical information, a centralized cloud-based VDI model can help meet stringent requirements such as SOX or HIPAA. Users sign into a secure Web portal to access their own section of the corporate cloud.  From there, they can launch applications, reconnect to other sessions, or use their personal virtual desktops on any device.

Diverse Workforce Needs.  VDI enables resources to be managed more effectively. Users accessing resource-intensive applications can expect the same performance levels as more traditional office application users. To better serve engineers and designers, for example, powerful graphics applications can be provisioned from hardware components using VDI technology.

Multi-Tenancy.  Combining graphics, server, and virtualization technologies can create shared ecosystems capable of resource controls, data segmentation and user optimization. Powerful, cloud-ready, multi-tenant ecosystems go a long way toward increasing business agility.
