The State of VDI and Cloud Computing in 2021 and Beyond
By Parallels
Every year, Parallels®️ conducts a survey to uncover market trends, identify challenges, and see where organizations are in their digital transformation.
In this white paper, you’ll hear from IT pros about the main drivers of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) implementation and their major concerns in shifting to the cloud.
The most important findings from this year’s survey include:
● The top reason businesses use VDI is to enable remote work.
● Securing company data is a more important driver for choosing VDI than the flexibility to work from any device.
● VDI was crucial in enabling businesses to quickly roll out remote work environments to counter pandemic-induced disruptions.
● Laptops, thick clients/desktops, and thin clients are the most widely used endpoints for connecting to VDI workloads.
● A sizeable majority of respondents need five or fewer IT staff to manage their VDI environment.
