Virtual desktops delivered from central infrastructure, so the desktop no longer lives on the hardware.
VDI moves the desktop into the data centre. Users connect from whatever endpoint they have, and their environment is identical every time — which changes what a lost or failed laptop actually costs you.
It's genuinely valuable for shift work with shared workstations, for contractors who shouldn't hold data locally, and for anywhere a compliance requirement says data must not leave the data centre.
It is not automatically cheaper than laptops, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. The savings are in management, lifecycle and security posture, not in hardware cost.
Publishing exclusions is deliberate. Nobody in this market does it, and it's the fastest way to avoid a variation conversation later.
If yours isn't here, ask — we'd rather answer it before you buy than after.
Usually not on hardware alone. The return is in management overhead, security posture and lifecycle — and in a lost device costing nothing but the device. We'll model it honestly rather than assume it favours VDI.
Nobody works. VDI concentrates your dependency on connectivity, so it should always be paired with redundant links — that's a real tradeoff, not a footnote.
