Technavio Study: growing demand for cloud applications driving the global market VDI -

overall VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) market will reach over 14 billion dollars by 2020, according to the latest research report published by Technavio research. While the penetration rate of the overall VDI against commercial PC was about 9% in 2015, it is likely to cross 40% in 2020. The market is now witnessing the emergence of VDI cloud solutions that are less expensive than traditional on premise solutions VDI.

This report Technavio research, entitled " overall VDI 2016-2020 " provides a depth market analysis in terms of turnover and emerging trends.

"most organizations are witnesses VDI benefits such as reduced costs and easier management," said analyst Technavio the industry for the research center data, Rakesh Panda. "These advantages, VDI and cloud solutions, are driving the global market for VDI. The penetration of the VDI market was highest in developed regions such as the US and Western Europe, a trend that should continue with the adoption of VDI solutions by SMEs during the forecast period. "

Some of the other driving forces behind market growth of global VDI include:

  • increased adoption of BYOD at work

BYOD trend

vdi cloud desktops corporate needs Changing driving companies to find new ways to improve productivity and satisfaction of employees. BYOD (bring your own device) is a new concept in this regard , believed to make them more mobile and productive employees. in this system, the employees of a business are encouraged to use their own mobile devices to access official data and systems from anywhere as per their convenience.

in the VDI architecture, centralized data is stored on the main server for BYOD users to experience "ease of access, mobility, and date of security" on the road. He allows users to access VDI image BYOD stored on the centralized storage environment via browsers or applications. Since data is stored in the cloud and not on end-user devices, security would be strengthened. Because of these advantages on offer, during the forecast period VDI architecture should win a larger market share.

Reduced cost
