How virtual cloud desktops are empowering users with flexible technologies

Cloud desktop or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) has several benefits which have made a powerful impact on the IT industry.

From streamlining operations to remote collaboration, VDI is a reliable technology which ring fences security, improves maintenance and enables productivity across teams.

According to Gartner, 80% of Fortune 500 businesses already include VDI in their IT strategy. In addition;

• Admin and operating costs were reduced by 70%
• Energy bills were reduced by 97%
• Productivity was increased by about 98%
• 70% of professionals worked via smart mobile devices in 2018
• The corporate environment alone has a 62% VDI adoption rate

These aren't the only advantages of VDI however, and in this article I will outline the top four benefits.

Productivity

VDI supports employees working from anywhere, enabling them to have on demand access to corporate resources. While the pandemic has brought a heavier emphasis on remote working with there being strong progress on virtual technology, companies still face battles of poor internet bandwidth and slow access to company documents. This is why a solution with Huawei Cloud would bring ease of access, with employees having instant, consistent access to all the data they require on any device.

Better access

The typical picture of a modern day company consists of people working from the office, part-time employees, hybrid workers, independent contractors and freelancers. Because today's office setup is no longer linear, companies need to be innovative when providing secure remote access. Through the use of VDI, your company can easily adapt to the changing needs of its workforce.

Reduce IT costs

Garner reports that companies face an uphill battle in saving on costs while continuously investing in their IT infrastructure. This has kept many CIOs up at night as they attempt to rein in their budgets while operating as optimally as possible. This is one of the main reasons why Huawei Cloud has always prioritised a value for money model, where employees can work from anywhere and access everything they need while keeping the company's operational costs down.

Tighten security measures

Your applications and data can be secure and compliant through intelligent built-in security. Strengthen security by storing user data on Huawei Cloud instead of vulnerable endpoint devices. VDI also comes well equipped with sufficient security benefits, such as centralized security features. Data is located in a central point, secure and protected. This eliminates possible points of failure or attack like virus infestation and unauthorized accessing of sensitive documentation. VDI also provisions data backup in case of system crashes, theft or loss.
