VDI, Thin Clients and other virtualization tech...

[Egan101]

Are thin clients and VDI's still good for the workplace? I'm trying to find the right technology on how can I manage my current company's computer infrastructure.

Any suggestion. TIA...

Thin clients paired with a VDI platform is a good choice if you want to establish data security from a shared service or offshore center. This way you limit the access of the offshore users to only the specific applications you install on your VDI system. However, you need a dedicated IPLC link or a high bandwidth internet link with a redundant backup link to ensure connectivity.

VDI is expensive and the upfront and operational costs for both hardware and software+licenses are steep. Your company should have a specific business need that only VDI can deliver (like data security, as mentioned above, or residency, among others), otherwise, it's going to run the company to the ground with unnecessary expenses.

I mean absolutely no offence saying the following.... If you had to ask about whether or not VDI is viable for your company, I think you ought to be talking to a competent vendor so they can assess your business and environment.
